Be honest. How bias do you think the Super 6 has been?

Yeah Ward has had a pretty easy time with some of the decisions

However Froch WAS beaten by Dirrell so he can't complain

 

Are you saying each side had no idea of what they where getting into before they entered the tournament?

I would not call it BIAS, rather stupid management on the side of Froch or great management by Ward side!

On a side note I dislike Ward and his stupid "SOG" tag more than I dislike Froch

 

I think it comes more down to Ward himself than the tournament, and Froch getting ****ed over. The final stages were always going to be held in America, but it's pathetic how Ward wouldn't leave his shitass state and Froch's opponents all wanted to fight on their turf, Dirrell excluded. The Glen Johnson fight should've definitely been in the UK.

 

I didn't like how Ward got the points against Bika, whether it was a bye or not.

But overall, the two boxers who deserve to be in the final, are there.

 

The only way Goossen was willing to sign Ward up for S6 if he got the advantages. Showtime needed 3 Americans with the talented Gold Medalist leading the pack, so Hershman persuaded all other promoters to give Goossen what he wanted. They knew what they signed for, 3 hometown bouts for Ward and the semis and final in the US was all in the contract.

Quite interesting that Hershman left Showtime before his tournament was over.

 

I thought it was more of an issue, but I think it has actually benefited Froch in the long run, especially considering the Final is still away from home. I also believe Froch has improved and gained invaluable experience in his travels, something he would not have done if all his bouts were based at home. He may have become content fighting in front of his fans continually.

 

Andre Ward hasn't had to travel, but I don't think the Super Six has showed him any type of favoritism. Initially, it was in his contract that he wouldn't travel anywhere to else fight, it was in the very first Fight Camp 360, and everyone else agreed to it that way, so If the other fighters didn't make it an issue then I'm not going to.

Andre Ward got the toughest fighter in the first round, was scheduled to face Jermaine Taylor, but ended up fighting Allen Green. Was scheduled to face Andre Dirrell, but ended up having to take an out of tournament bout with a guy good enough to be in the Super Six. Out of all the Super Six contestants he's the only fighter that had to face three opponents he never planed on fighting at the beginning of this entire tournament.

 

this is Frochs issue,

If he was a seller at home he could bargain more, he couldnt even get on UK prime tv, he has managment issues and bad promotion

 

I don't think 'the tournament' as an entity of it's own is or has been biased. The people who put the tournament together didn't create the boxing culture that exists and they didn't put the sport in the state in which it has been for the longest.

Fact is, any promoter is gonna let his fighter fight at home as often as he can get away with, and any good promoter is gonna try to put a fight in the arena and the area where it sells the most tickets. This is nothing new, it's a logic that has always been applied to boxing.

Yes, it is unfair that Ward has fought all of his super six fights in his home state and that he'll fight the final in the US (although i don't AC is significantly further away from Nottingham than it is from Oakland)- and this is coming from a Ward fan. But what are the Super Six organizers supposed to do about that?

It's the promoters' job to negotiate fights and where they will take place, and if the promoters of Ward' opponents didn't play the game as well as Dan Goossen did, then how is that to be held against Ward?

As for Ward not having to fight a replacement when Dirrell withdrew, well he already fought a replacement in Allan Green, and there's only so many replacements they can conjure up for these situations, besides, wasn't Ward already qualified for the semi's by then? And let's not forget, he still chose to defend his belt against a tough opponent in Sakio Bika when he didn't officially have to.

Bottom line: The Super Six tournament is no more biased than boxing already is in and of itself, and the fighters are not to be blamed for this.

 

But the first time someone pulled out of the tournament it was Taylor who was scheduled to fight Ward, and Ward wasn't "just given 2 points", he had to beat Allan Green for them. OK, he caught a break when he got 2 points when Dirrell pulled out, but they can't just open up a drawer and pull out a replacement fighter everytime someone pulls out. It's not Ward's fault either that he had an opponent pull out twice in a row, AND he still chose to fight a tough opponent.

 

dis fight gun be well funnz
