Any news on the venue for Froch Vs Abraham? Have heard Zurich which would be a cool summer weekend...

I'll be at Froch - Abraham, but I certaintly won't be booking anything until about 10 minutes before the bell rings

Surely some German backwater will host.

I paid $9 for about half a pint of Amstel, poured directly from a can at Madison Square Garden. I don't think my heart could take a Zurich bar bill 8)

Nah, it would be a good look.

Seems very unlikely seeing that HBO do so much business there with Bute. I'd like to go as i've never been to Zurich but my wife has inconveniently planned to give birth that week so let's just say that it will have to be a GREAT undercard.

Congratulations.

I'm really glad it looks like this fight will go ahead. It has the potential to be really good. The European boxers are much more entertaining in this tournament. Perhaps because the Americans are better at not getting hit, and/or also faster.

I heard it was all sorted for Montreal too

Hennessy does have that long standing link up with the Canadian promoter but this strikes me as absolutely barmy.

Talk about testing the loyalty of the Cobra's fans.

I won't be going to Canada. Step too far for me.

Do it in Ireland - great fans, can get it live on RTE, not far for either mans fans to travel and neutral ground.

I said this ages ago - great idea.

On the plus side at least drinks will be cheaper in Canada for Ian

After just going to see Khan and being delayed on my return by the ash cloud, I think my mrs would kill me if I suggested a Montreal jaunt.

Do they really have lots of solid gold cuckoo clocks made from stolen Jewish gold?
