    That clearly does not tell the whole story.

    Abraham knocked Taylor out...no controversy there.

    Kessler was more or less stopped by Ward...no controversy there.

    Kessler got the UD in Denmark in a close fight. It was not particularly controversial, just a close fight. That fight in Nottingham may have had a different outcome, but I don't think anyone can seriously claim it was a robbery.

    Dirrell outboxed Abraham for the entire fight and Abraham fouled his way to a DQ. That didn't happen because it was in Detroit. It would have happened at any neutral site. The only place where Abraham could have picked up a victory in that fight was Germany, and that would be a result of Dirrell being forbidden from body punching and Abraham being permitted to punch a downed opponent. Detroit did not win Dirrell the fight.

    However, the Froch v. Dirrell outcome only happens in Nottingham. That was home cooking.

    So, only two fights went to decision. The three stoppages were not the result of home cooking (obviously).

    And, only one of the decisions was particularly controversial. I am not claiming this is good -- one out of five is bad -- but it is par for the course, unfortunately.

          Not True!

          There is a 1 million Armenian population here in L.A, and everyone, everyone is a boxing fan!
          Darchinyan v. Donaire is happening in August at the Home Depot center, A main event fight, but put them on the undercard and AA v. CF as main event, tickets will sell overnight.

          Thats a FACT!

"If Froch wins, the fight is probably going to happen in Nottingham but if Mikkel wins, it's going to head to the 02 World in [Berlin] Germany," Abraham was quoted by Gazeta on Friday.

                    Enough of this hometown garbage - all fights from now should be held on neutral ground. No excuses.

                      Froch or Abraham would be crazy to accept the fight in the others country.
