"Clearly" really? This is as stupid as the Obama birther bull****, when it becomes an issue in the ring then *****, until then what the **** are you even crying about?
In all seriousness, you are trying to call me a "*****", in a post that I can't say for certain you didn't get a ***** to type for you. This is literally the most feminine post in this thread.
Good job all boxers aren't as disgraceful as Ward because if they were we would get no big fights, no unifications, no Super 6 etc. What a joke.
Do Reppin and Darryl even realize Andre Ward is half-white? That should change their opinions in a hurry.
I don't know where it came from, and personally I don't give a ****, the bottom line is that it hasn't impacted any of the fights. So I'm not sure what the problem is.
Kessler got told to let go of Ward and the ref warned Kessler for head use :nut. Truth is all of the original S6 fighters have travelled, Ward hasnt shown he can win a big fight away and has been allowed to do alot of dirty fighting. Many American SMWs cant win big fights away - B Mitchell lost away to Girard, Ottke and Calzaghe Brewer lost away to Calzaghe and Veit J Taylor lost away to Abraham Dirrell lost away to Froch Lacy lost away to Calzaghe The list goes on and on So Ward hasnt tried proving himself on the road in big fights
For those of you not familiar with California, my home state is larger than most European countries. Ward is travelling hundreds of miles from Oakland to Industry. If the fight was on the East Coast, this would be a distance spanning several states. I have lived in both Northern and Southern California and can tell you that there is a definite rivalry between the two halves. A northern california baseball fan just got pummelled and put into the hospital in a coma for attending a game in southern california. Obviously, it's not the same as travelling outside of a national border, but this is not a hometown fight. General rule of thumb: if you have to take a jet to get there, it's not that close.
