    All of Ward's fights were at home. How is that not set up to favour him?

    Ward was always the most talented of the lot anyway, and he'll prove that against froch. i'm surprised froch has done aswell as he has, so big respect to froch.

    Dont ruin it for him....


    And yea This tourney was set up for Ward to win.

    Froch isnt the type of guy to let him get away with it though...

    I don't think I've seen anyone claim that Europe is a country on this thread, so your comment is an idiotic non sequitur

    I don't see the problem with Ward not travelling? If anything it hurts him. he'll have fought 4 times in the past 2 years come the end of 2011 only once being outside the United States. If he ever manages to take part in some mega fight there won't be people flocking to see him on a worldwide tour, buy his merchandise or tune into fights.

    Home advantage in every match and Goosens own ref in the Kessler match was a great piece of negotiating by Goosen. Kessler was really sold out by Sauerland.

    That being said, It is a fact that it would have been fair had Ward travelled 1 or two times like everyone else.

    But people apparently didnt see him as a big threat. Neither did I to be honest.

    While MichiganWarrior does have an axe to grind against Euro fighters-- could that be the racialistic angle to which you refer-- he's right about one thing: Ward is the class of the tournament.

    The only threat to Ward in the division is Bute.

    I kinda doubt they would invest in Ward who was the biggest underdog at the beginning.
    Ward just got two fights in his backyard and its not his fault Dirrell pulled out. Showtime picked Bika. Showtime picked Green and would Green have won if it was in his backyard ?

    Baaahaaawwhaha...! I fell out when i seen dis one.. this needs to be apart of the promotion..!:rofl


    :deal This..

    I don't think people remember that.. I think people rememmber what they want to.. (hence the Tourny is set up for Ward) If that isn't the dumbest **** spewed.. the odds makers in Vegas didn't seem to see that.. people who bet on Ward with those Great odds should be very happy people at the end of this tourny..:deal

    No vitamins from Conte, only the High Altitude Mask that increases Red Blood Cell production...:deal


    If this aint the Truth then I don't know what is.. People don't even peep the words that come out of Wards mouth.. they rather Hear Bull**** **** talk from a guy who's nose is longer than Pinocchio...:hi:

    Hats off to Dan Goosen for being a Promoter.. A real one.. not letting fight marrinate till they spoil, or lining up cab drivers for his fighters to feast on.. Dan went out there and got the best deal possible for his fighter.. to bad the over confident folks from Sauerland didn't see it comming...:bart

    Ward always fought in his backyard, and in the final, he will fight in his own country against a British man.

    So yes, the tournament was set up in a way that immensely favored Ward.

    Hasn't it been repeatedly proven that the TS is a pathetic ******. I'm surprised people are still giving him the time of day.

    It wasn't set up to favour Ward, but it clearly has. The most ridiculous thing was the gift of 2 points.

    Sour grapes from Eurotards because they're crap fighters got exposed for the hacks they were.

    Kessler was sooo good wasnt he Euro's lol.


    Look Euro's your only hope of maintaining any sort of dignity with your pathetic boxing culture is Froch. And he is lucky to be in the final. He has had 2 losses. 1 Gift. If not for several fighters pulling out, I doubt that he'd be in the tournament final. The dude just isnt that good.



    So take solace in the fact that atleast Bute is still around. Because Ward is going to dominate Crotch.
