    Ward is right when he states that this IS the BIGGEST fight of the tournament. No way it won't happen, so stop whining & crying.

    Dirrell is the only one with more than a punchers chance to beat ward so sure people who are fans of the other fighters are hoping for this match. If dirrell dropped out then you could go ahead and crown ward the tourney winner. If I were dirrell I would not face ward in his hometown. I would face him in vegas or montreal.

    They should have just done single elimination instead of this point system BS. It works in footie and Euroleague basketball because an entire team cannot just opt out of a tournament.

    I guess the rumar of Ward fear of flying that i mention 2 or 3 months ago was right? Hmmm. I'll tell ya this whoever defends Ward are a bunch of idiots. And for Ward to say "he's the champ" in which he thinks just cause of that, Dirrell has to fight him in his hometown??? That's bull****. Somebody needs to tell Ward that Kessler was "the" champion when he fought Ward in oakland. Froch was "the" Champion when he fought Kessler in Kessler's country. <<This was after Kessler lost to Ward. I'm a big Dirrell fan but i don't agree with 50/50 split cause Ward hasn't lost while Dirrell has but if Wards wants to fight in his hometown then it should be 50/50 split.

    Also even if Ward lose to Dirrell in detriot or anywhereelse that's not in oakland, he will be in the semi finals anyway while this is a must win for Dirrell.

    Ward and Direll could learn a lot from Kessler, Froch, Abraham and Taylor, the real fighters of this tournament!

    Why would you remove Froch? He has fought on the road and even made his first belt defence in america against an american

    which is true, but he didn't half moan like **** after losing to Kessler.

    "If I'm forced to fight in Germany then I'll withdraw"

    Credit where its due on the Taylor win, but Froch needed that more than Taylor and hence he had to travel.

    I don't know why Ward is stubborn about not letting them fight at a neutral venue. He already fought twice in Oakland. A true champion fights anywhere. As far as the money goes, if it was agreed before the tournament, Dirrell has no basis for wanting changes now.

    He whined about losing but he still agreed to a neutral place and didnt demand any more money or anything. So in end he ahd home,away,neutral which imo is how it should be. I do hate the whine tho but seems something all boxers do if they lose a close fight :(

    They already postponed this **** once because of Ward and it might happen again.

    Ward was quoted as saying vegas was fine with him. I dont see the problem here. The terms were agreed upon before the tournament started, is Dirrell trying to change the initial terms?

    Fight like you signed up to and fight in vegas..problem solved.:deal
