Give me a historical example of England being the home cooker of boxing? And if you can come up with one I will show you five more in Vegas. Country vs a city. Vegas has had many a great decisions also w/o controversy but get real. This theory that Carl could only improve in a second go with a fix is ridiculous and a scab view.
Look Andre Ward is not an old school or throwback fighter. He’s a homer. Yes he’s good technically with a very fluid style but he’s no Denny Moyer in the whomever, wherever or whenever department. Froch is and that’s what is lacking today. People at the top refusing to travel. Perhaps Ward folds like a cheap lawn chair like Bute if he fought in Nottingham. He won’t go.

Dawson-Oracle arena. Fight was originally going to be in Vegas and then was changed to Wards hometown. And the weight thing. It’s funny to me that Ward would not agree to a catch weight to challenge for Dawson’s 175 title and then said after the fight that he may not be able to stay at 168 very much longer.

Now I’m not suggesting that the outcome of all of these fights would have been any different but the deck has been stacked in his favour outside of the Froch fight and that fight was close on two of those cards.
