Yes those pesky Euros who all have the same way of collective thinking, man you're ******. As a Brit, I only care what happens to Froch, I wanted Ward to beat Kessler after watching him in the Olympics in 2004. At the same time I wanted Abraham to beat Dirrell.
Don't act as if Ward and Dirrell weren't being written off by people from the US. Probably rightly so, neither were particularly liked for their styles. Infact I remember reading how much Dirrell was hated for being an "anti-fighter." Moreover neither had been given a hugely stiff test at that point, with Ward's being Miranda, and Dirrell's being Hanshaw. Now all of a sudden they were being thrown in with the best in the division, dosen't matter where you're from, they were both written off.
For the record I just want to see the 2 most deserving fighters in the final. I believe those to be Froch and Ward. If the WBC champ & the WBA champ make it to the final, then it needs to be nuetral. At this moment in time I'm fine with Ward defending in Oakland.
It's no given that Froch will get past Johnson though, whereas I expect Ward to get past Abraham (who I always found to be overrated seing as most of his defences as IBF Middleweight champ were jokes) with ease.
