Yes its in August in the uk. If Froch wins he is through - Abraham can still get through if he loses as he has that extra point for knocking out Taylor so he is still in front in the table.

Are you sure it has already been confirmed for the UK? AA will surely want it in Germany as his second fight was also away from home. Will it go down to purse bids? I'd imagine Carl losing his belt will take away from his bargaining power.

Yes definitely in Nottingham - the home/away advantage has already been agreed - fighters have to have certain number of fights away.

If Froch wins, Abraham would still probably go through.

They should deduct Dirrell a point for feigning injury and influencing the referee...

I'm half joking. I don't believe he was KO'd though. His leg was shaking as if he was fitting, then he's up and crying his eyes out. Plus he started to protest and they went down.

Never seen a delayed KO before...?

Suppose AA shouldn't have even been in a position where he's hitting someone who quiet obviously can't defend himself in any case.

With his hands so low, it looked like Froch couldn't defend himself either. At times, his defence was his face

Neutral venue - O2 Arena, Dublin :TU:

If it isn't written on paper, I can't see a verbal agreement holding up especially after AA lost his last fight away from home. I always though that the Super 6 fights should be all staged at neutral venues anyway, something like this was always going to happen when there are home and away fights.
