See Froch is now threatening to spit his dummy and quit the Super Six unless he gets home advantage for the Abraham fight...

Because it was agreed before the tournment that the Froch-Abraham fight would be in England.

Hatton threw the toys out after his first defeat and now looks like Froch may do the same.
To be fair to Carl he gets a raw deal from pretty much everyone in this country outside Nottingham. I know it's because of his constant whining about Calzaghe but IMO Froch is probably the 2nd most exciting fighter we have (after Haye) and the deal he gets off the media in this country is shocking.

The judge who scored that outrageous 6 round decision to Kessler wants his head looking at. IMO Froch could have won that fight had he upped the workrate slightly and actually let go with his punches when he had him wobbled around the 5th. Don't agree with him that he'd have got the decision in Nottingham though, he just didn't do enough to win the fight.

Depending on who you believe.

Froch says he had an agreement with Showtime that he would fight at home, then away, then back at home again.

The promoters are saying that the only guarantee was that the Abraham fight would be "in Europe".

i dont think it will be anywere near a draw i think Mayweather will totally outbox Mosely. Mayweather is always 1 of them just does enough to win if he wanted i think he could get mosely on the counter and knock him out in the 1st 5 rounds

I'll be very surprised if Mayweather KO's Mosley. Mosley has a great chin, he's never been KO'd before.

It'll go to a decision, where I think Floyd will win. The fight will probably disappoint in the end, but Mosley has a chance. He has the size and the speed to cause problems. I just hope he can land a few good punches to really put Mayweather under pressure.
