There are about 50 threads on Bute staying at home, stupid. At least, Bute's 4 last referees were American. What about Ward, Einstein? You can not defend Ward on this. It may not be his fault (we don't know) but the situation is unfair. Both have agreed on something. Got it?
Pretty much this.....pure bull**** from Ward and co, the favoritism towards him has been disgraceful. Not saying he wouldnt have won all his fights if there were neutrality, but this is just ****in unfair. Darryl im not sure why your bitching about this, and frankly thats all you seem to do lately is ***** about black fighters getting discriminated against, it has nothing to do with that, if anything you are the one who is being discriminatory towards black fighters. How could you have missed the threads talking about Bute and fighting at home, particularly the one about that horrible hometown ref Marlon Wright that saved him from a potential ko loss
I was under the impression the fights went 1 home 1 away 1 neutral Froch fought Home vs Dirrel away vs Kessler and NJ USA is neutral turf Ward is Oakland for all bouts Abe is 1 home 1 away now gonna be two away And these are the only originals left
The semi-final are supposed to be in USA. It's a Showtime event. Ward should have fought abroad in the preliminary stage.
Ward making himself look stupid. He really doesn't need all these advantages. He could kick King Arthurs ass any day of the week with Abrahams mum as the referee and 3 Armenians as the judges.
Great day for an american boxing fan. Bradley ducks Khan and now dirty Andre is playing his "let´s bend the rules a bit" -games.
You're kind of right but it would be cool if we hear Ward's opinion on this matter too. He should stand for himself, don't you say? Of course, this is still fresh news but I expect a reaction from Ward that has nothing to do with "Arthur is complaining like a little girl, the Commission is right" ****. ....Even a lack of reaction would say a lot IMO.
What does Ward have to do with this?? This is the California Commission trying to pull this, not Ward's team...
Yeah right, and promoters don't have huge influence over local commissions, they just happen to pull ****, right? :think
I suppose that's possible but I really don't know what's happened behind the scenes to speculate on something like that.
It's time for Ward to man up, the referees for Ward's last three fights have been family members, and some of the judges were casual acquaintances and friends of friends. Ward will get KO'd by Abraham if he is not allowed to use his usual headbutt and hold and repeat tactics. Enough of this tomfoolery, Abraham will deliver righteous justice on the 14th of May.
