    There should be no more home town fights in the supersix.

    If fights can not be held in a neutral country which would be the best option, have the fights held in cities far from where the home country fighter is from. Also have a referee from the opponents country there, along with one or two judges from the non-home country fighter to even out the playing field. The super six is full of evenly matched fights, but incompetency is ruining it.

    With 3 of the 4 fights so far containing too much home town cooking, I'd agree.

      Evenly matched

      The only evenly matched fight so far is Shot Taylor and AA. The rest haven't been close.

      Dirrell handled Froch/AA easily making them look substandard at times.

      Ward exposed Kessler as nothing more than European bum

        isn't this guy banned already for his constant trolling?

          AA beat up Taylor TBH Flawed.

          I agree, but these guys are not famous and selling seats out of hometowns would be very difficult.

            I disagree... while I thought Dirrell beat Froch it wasn't a comfortable win for him and he looked jittery in there at times. I had it 7-5 for Andre, but that was still five rounds that Froch won.

            Also, this "European" stuff.... it gets old. "Europe" isn't even a country.

              He didn't troll there. He was making a point some posters can't accept.

                How is it trolling. I don't think the Super Six have been close at all. Just shows the quality gap between Americans and Europeans.

                  I disagree. The crowd is a big part of the exitement of the tournament. But I would like some competent and neutral officiating.

                    have a referee from the foreign fighter there then, along with at least one judge.
