    What do you think about this? About his all super six and his next fight with Bika in Oakland, about headbutts that was never warned by referee and about 2 points for nothing.

    Only people I see crying about Ward are Kessler fans. The guy worked Allan Green like he stole something as well.

    Dirrell wanted no piece of Ward either, and ran himself out of the tournament.

    I'll favor Ward over both Abraham and Froch and felt he was clearly the best fighter in the Super 6.

    No.

    Maybe you should acknowledge the opponents he has faced and more importantly find out who he is fighting next.

    In his first 23 pro fights, he'll have fought Edison Miranda, Mikkel Kessler and Sakio Bika. ...So, no. Not so much.

    The above isn't a question, j, it's an indictment. Here's a more simple question: Is Ward a good fighter?

    When you say all his fights do you mean only his last 3 fights? :patsch

    and if he was a protected fighter, he wouldnt even be in the Super Six.

    Showtime has a plan for him to win S6 and become a well-selling american champion.
    I think this is the reason all his fights are at his hometown and why is allowed to headbutt, holding, gets 2 extra points ..etc.

    The referee in the Kessler fights should at least have warned Ward for the headbutts but nevertheless he still a great boxer the most talented in the Supersix and he won all his fights rightfully

    and about all of his fights being held in oakland, isn't that the fault of the promoters for the other fighters its ward's promoter's job to make sure that his client get the best deal possible.

    Once again, I've never been in a tournament where my team didn't get any points if the other team didn't showed up. It's not Ward's fault if Dirrell couldn't (or did not want to) fight him, so he shouldnt lose the 2 potential points.

    Of course he is, they managed to get all his super six group matches at home!! Noone else did that, im amazed they let him and his team get that. Fighting away in front of hostile crowds can be rough and lets not mention the judges on top of that!! Lots of things ward doesnt have to worry about.... nice job, if one of the other fighters managed to do what ward did there would be war on this and other boards, no doubt!! but ward gets a pass of course
