    Again, you're answering my question with more questions. That is not an explanation. You said that I would have to be dumb not to know why it is such a disadvantage for Froch in this situation. If that's true, surely it should be easy for you to explain why this is so. And no, it's not just as fair to have the fight in London. I can give you an explanation for it isn't if you would like.

    It's in our water. Known as east bay mud :!: Whe you're born and raised on it, all ya need is a cup full and POW like when Popeye eats spinach! Same thing :yep :happy

    Think Froch isn't a dirty fighter? Strikes me as tough dude. I'm looking forward to this one! Glad I won't be hearing "Ward has home town advantage. Atlantic City ain't Oakland, but it is an excuse for Froch, if he doesn't win :yep

    Ward by boxing clinic UD :bbb:good

    Find a city 3000 Miles away from Nottingham in the UK, and then come back and talk.

    Would Ward fight Martinez somewhere half way like Colombia?

    The fight should take place where it makes the most money.

    Since neither fighter is a huge draw yet, AC makes sense as both fans can travel. It would benefit Ward more, but only from a closer to home, cheaper flights for fans, less jet lag perspective. I don't think you can really complain about AC.

    I actually think Ward will be favoured wherever the fight is. He is being touted as the next big US boxing star. Promoters will potentially make more money long term if Ward wins than Froch and that should be good for a 2 round lead if it goes the distance.

    The most money is in America, Vegas in particular is the place where the most money and attention is made for a fight. AC is up there too. Froch also agreed that the finals would be held in America when he signed on to the Super Six. ****ing :deal
