Yup, he was quoted saying it earlier today. The reason? Bad judging there. :p
"The only thing I will not do is face Abraham in Germany for political reasons.
"There has been some strange judging there and that fight will take place in Britain. "

Well... I can't blame him much for not wanting to fight in Germany. Actually, if I would get offered to fight over here, one of my ultimate request would be: one judge from Canada, one from anywhere else and no more than one from Germany at bottom line. Thus said, as many peoples seem to think that the judging was bad from Froch's last fight, I would not want to fight him in Nottingham neither and similar judging request would be made.Quote:

I would love to see someone back this view up with evidence.
I used to say it too. But now reckon its probably just an old prejudice passed down through the years that doesn't really hold any weight.
House fighters get favoured all over the world. Bad reffing and judging happens everywhere.

It's only over the last couple of years with this internet lark that we can watch just about ANY and every fight. Fights i've SEEN in the past when rewatched i've thought different about them. :-\
Watch the Robin Reid fight. Reid got deducted a point for hitting Ottke with a punch. The ref was fucking discraceful. Looked like theyd plucked him straight from the ABA judges list.Quote:

Yeah the ref was shocking. It wasn't really a robbery though.Quote:

It wouldn't matter if he fought Abraham on the Moon, Froch is going to get his ass beat.
As for Ottke, I always have a little laugh at the fact that out of 34 fights Sven had 6 KO's...one of them being Anthony Mundine

If this statement is true, it gives further validation to his delusions. If he had fought Dirrell in the US the scorecards would have been flipped and you would have a different group of people screaming robbery. Home town applies to all towns, noone is immune to this bias.
We should all hope carl froch makes enough money to never ever work again after retiring from boxing because obviously he has the brain capabilities of a 5 year old. Just freaking ironic...
After saturday night, no fighter will want to fight Froch in Britain. ;D
That wasn't a fight saturday night. That was the whole problem. Dirrell is shit.
anyone know what score the Abraham Taylor fight was going into the 12th?
