When the super six competitors initially entered the tournament, it was agreed in principle that the final fight would be held in America. But now that we've reached the final and a European and American have both made it through, is it 100% fair on the European fighter that the final be held in the USA?
It would be a shame for the fight to be ruined by questionable judging or refereeing which have, in some people's view, already played a part in both Ward and Froch fights. For example, many felt that Ward should have been penalized for headbutting against Kessler (which could have changed the way the fight played out) and others felt that Dirrell beat Froch by decision.
So, in my opinion, the Final should be held outside of Europe and the USA to reduce the risk of hometown judging or refereeing which, in an event as prestigious as this one, certainly has a real risk of occurring. It would be a damn shame for the final to be ruined that way.
