Wards loss as a 12 year old kid.

We have all heard that André Ward hasn't lost a fight since he was a 12 year old kid. Maybe some of you know how he lost, but I didn't, until I found this clip with Virgil Hunter talking about it.

Apparently it was an away fight in Arizona were the other kids mother was one of the judges. He also got 2 or 3 point deductions during the 3 round fight.

It might be the reason he wont leave Oakland

 

22 of his 27 fights have not been in Oakland..

 

If this is true how the hell is a mother allowed to be a judge in her son's fight.only in boxingatsch

 

Sorry here is the clip:

Yes, but my guess would be that it is fairly common when kids fight, but one fighters mother. :-(

BTW I think Ward is a solid fighter.

 

This is bull**** as we all know a shoesales man put him down and beat him.

 

Another way to look at it is 20 of his 27 fights have been in California

 

And somehow, despite being based on the west coast, the last Olympic gold medalist we had still has never fought in Vegas.

 

He finished second on North America's Olympic qualifying tournament. I'm not entirely sure about the concept of the qualifiers during that time, so I'm not sure if he lost a fight, but he definitely finished second.

 

And 5 of Frochs 35 career fights have not been in UK.

Some fighters get too much flack for not traveling but i must say, Ward has a few big money options in foreign countries. Of course Froch would sell tickets like cupcakes in Vegas if he were to rematch Ward.

 

ward is lost.

 

Froch-Ward 2 is not going to happen.

Hearn has said as much repeatedly
