    This situation has gotten completely ridiculous. There just needs to be 4 COMPLETELY professional officials and just have the fight in the location with the most money.

    The money you'd loose having it on a 'neutral' ground (I consider the whole of mainland Europe to be divided from Britain in terms of this divide - people know what I mean) should be spent on getting a decent ref and 3 very experienced judges.

    How about a Vegas trio and Bayless? Professional guys that won't disgrace themselves like TILLEMAN.

    I'm just not confident Sauerland will keep out from fiddling things though. They are clearly corrupt.

            lol I said Switzerland on here a few weeks ago as a joke, they musta took it serious.

            Honestly, Paris would be perfect for English and German fans

              Anyone else find humor in the politically neutral country being used as neutral ground for this fight.

                Well, abraham will have pseudo home advantage, since everyone in europe hates the british, so they will support abraham

                  After that close fight between Kessler and Froch the first two people in the ring to get to Kessler were the Sauerlands and they were celebrating immediately even though the judges hadn't even given the verdict yet. That was a bit odd.

                  If Tilleman is the same guy that officiated the Ottke vs Reid debacle I'm amazed the Froch camp didn't object.

                    I'd rather Paris as a neutral venue over anywhere else in Europe. I could go to Disneyland after.

                      You'd have a much, much stronger case for saying that every euro outside Germany hates the germans.

                      Whatever. I disagree completely. I think the crowd on the average in a neutral country just wants a good fight.
