    Clarity about fighting venues in the Super 6 Tourney...

    Here's the sheet:

    Abraham vs. Taylor in Berlin/Germany
    Froch vs. Direll in Nottingham/England
    Ward vs. Kessler in Oakland/USA

    Direll vs. Abraham in TBA/USA
    Ward vs. Taylor in TBA/USA
    Kessler vs. Froch Copenhagen/Denmark

    Ward vs. Direll TBA/USA
    Taylor vs. Kessler (only fight I couldn't figure out where it's gonna get staged)
    Froch vs. Abraham City Ground, Nottingham/England

    Still, plans can change due to the outcome of the fights - for example, if Froch loses his first and second fight, it's unlikely that his last fight will garner enough attention to stage a fight in a 30k+ football stadium...

    In the 360 fight camp show it was revealed that Taylor would face Kessler next in Denmark, and that Ward will face Froch in England. They switched it up because Ward was never leaving home in all 3 fights.

      if someone in the tourny gets robbed because of hometown advantage, that could ruin the tourny

        I think someone getting ktfo will ruin the tourney faster than any robbery tbh.

          I hope Ward doesn't fight all 3 at home.

            No, they changed it because Loe Dibella wasn't going to have his fighter Jermain Taylor fighting Arthur Abraham in Germany and then Mikkel Kessler in Denmark in back to back fights.

                If AA ****s up Taylor, maybe he will choose to get ko'ed by someone else.

                  Andre Ward is fighting in Oakland, California against Mikkel Kessler and then in his next 2 fights he is fighting Taylor and Dirrell, so thouse fights will probably be staged in the US as well.

                    When did they change it? Is there any info on it?

                    Because the show implies that Taylor facing Kessler next will be the way it is gonna go because Lou negoitated a 50/50 deal with Sauerland.
