atschatsch Of COURSE it has effects on fighters. Having hometown advantage is called hometown ADVANTAGE for a good reason. Hence why Ward deserves to be heavily criticized for having all his fights at home. He has not had to travel ONCE in this tournament. That is totally disgraceful and reflects on the legitimacy of his title and the Super 6 in general.
I said it has some effect on fighters you ****ing dumbass. Look at the post you stupid ****. And why are you saying Ward like it's fault he's fighting at home? If you were a fighter and your team said to you, you're fighting at home again, got a problem? What you gonna say, "no I wanna prove myself to the World and fight in his hometown!!!!!!" No, you're going to give your promoter a big hug. You just want to see Ward lose cause you don't like him as a fighter. That's fine. But you all come off as crying little babies. It ain't Ward, it's his team that's getting him these hometown fights. But you all don't care, cause you hate Ward.
Abraham fought in his hometown, out of it and on neutral grounds in this tournament. All of Ward's fights have been in the US.
Yea i know,like i said before i can understand why anyone would feel this way towards Ward. If Froch would never left nottingham and always fought there,i would feel the same way. But then again,Its not like Ward has been winning gift decisions in his hometown,Hes clearly beaten everyone hes faced so far.
Andre 'Son of Ottke' Ward is an utter fraud. It's already outrageous that he is the only fighter in the Super Six with all his fights scheduled at home and now this!!
If this fight is cancelled because of this bull****, Ward should be stripped of his title due to ***gotry. And the California Commission should be sued for everything they have. Its criminal that they are jeopardising this fight
2 wrongs don't make a right Darryl. The conduct of Ward and his team throughout the tournament has been shocking.
:good Is this not the super 6 tournament? It's like Real Madrid being guaranteed to play all their champions league games at home, with a bloke from Madrid refereeing them all and the opposition not being allowed to tackle them for fear of getting sent off.
First off, Bika wasn't a replacement but a tuneup. That was fine by Showtime and I don't see the issue with that (I might be wrong on this, but if this is the result of Dirrell dropping out that's hardly AW's fault). Secondly, Ward ****ed up Kessler who looked like he was lost. Illegal tactics? Unless you can prove it was intentional then I think you should stop the nonsense. Lastly, Ward will **** Arthur "The actor" Abraham up. I can't wait to see Abraham complain about every body-shot (Because body-shots are illegal in Germany) and Ward continuously drilling him with combinations on the inside. Arthur will look lost, and will likely resort to cheap illegal tactics (Rabbit punches) in response because he has a weak mentality when dealing with frustration.
If Ward tries to fight on the inside that might just fall into Abrahams hands, best Ward box this time.
Abraham has zero inside game. None, he's 1 dimensional. He's best shot is catching Ward coming in. On the inside he will look like a fighter that's drowning. Ward can box him too, but Abraham is problem more dangerous throwing a bomb while coming forward. Once Ward is inside, Abraham is done. He can't fight on the back-foot either.
So Ward is personally lobbying the California commission on the phone demanding three California judges? No he's not. This probably has more to do with local politics and some California refs/judges wanting a payday.
