VIDEO: Andre Ward was almost thrown out of the Super 6 for being unwilling to travel

Who cares, he is a commentator now. He's just a younger Jim Lampley.

 

Ward is the worst prima donna in boxing.

He's an extremely selfish man.

 

:think He was guaranteed 1 fight where he wanted it. Before the finals he faced Kessler, Green, Bika and Abraham.
Green was an American so where should they have traveled? Finland? They could have fought someplace else than Oakland but Green is not really a draw.

Bika was not part of the S6
That leaves us with only one fight in which he should have had to travel. :roll:

All this fuss about one fight.

And yes, Ward did pull a ***** move with Bute.

 

where have i said b hop is shot any time , sad line of defence :verysad


grip on reality lol was it you asking what was going on between me and another poster on here
you obviously wanted in on abit of that tw at

kovalev will beat b hop and send on the road to bing shot

read joes autobio he even says and this was before he was even in line to fight roy , that fight does nothing for me what do i acheive beating a shot jones junior :rofl:rofl

 

sounds worse now as when he didnt fight Dirrell he was awarded 2 points, rather than face a sub.

 

I do recall that. I remember there were doubts about that fight as there wasnt an agreed location etc, but I seem to think that dirrell was sparring again before his fight with Ward was even due to happen. could be wrong with that

 

go back to when the super six was on , i was the first to criticize ward for being a ***** , if its good for Joe its good for an Olympic gold medalist :yep


I hate the mum thing but if we are going there , she told me how daddy loved you to much :barf

 

Do you really think a professional athlete like andre ward would be affected to such a degree that a away fight would make his skills drop by 50%?


Well I do think limiting yourself to only the s6 is pretty weird. Ofcourse there's a slight advantage if you fight at home. But the point of bringing up the amateur victories and the s6 victory was to illustrate that in fact when ward fight away and all the marbels are up for grabs he doesn't choke.

So I think that the reason why alot of people complain about that he doesn't travel is because that's really the only thing you can complain about. The guy has won every fight convincingly, hasn't lost since he was 12 (kinda unsure of this), Has beaten everyone of note in the divison he's in, fought the n#1 guy in the divison above and ko'd him.

To be fair to the fighter you have to weigh in both aspects, yes he doesn't travel alot but then again why does he have to? Finacially I do see that there's a reason to fight Froch at home or maybe JCC jr. But other then that there should be guys lining up to fight Andre.


And just a random thought isn't it weird that Andre ward fought for the WBA title in 16th november last year. Then a week later Froch and Groves fight for the same title. Looks pretty weird to me.

How can he loose the title he just fought for and won for the week before isn't that strange? hahahahttp://boxrec.com/title_search.php?title=WBASUP&division=Super%20Middleweight&SUBMIT=Go

 

He faced Bika
