This dude is clearly a troll!

 

Hey remember that time Andre Dirrell fought Froch in his own back yard and was robbed.. ooooh heee heee, that sure was a kneeslapper!

 

His fight against Dirrell will be in Vegas.

 

robbed? do you know the meaning of a robbery? ODLH V Sturm was a robbery, Holyfield V Lewis was a robbery, Froch V running Direll isnt

 

You sure? Well still, he's never been abroad to the lions den. Like Dirrell did vs Froch, Froch vs Kessler, Abraham vs Ward, Taylor vs Abraham. All those guys travelled to foreign countries into the lions den against the home-town fighter. Vegas will be a neutral venue.

 

so travelling away for Ward is a 500 mile trip across the Cali/Nevada border?

 

my list is based on accomplishments. while i still believe that a healthy green is unstoppable, allan green has not come to his recent fights in healthy condition, which has cost him higher placement on my list. however, in reference to allan green, i was referring strictly to his ability to beat American fighters, not the tough Europeans who have come to dominate the division.

 

:deal

 

atschYour list is ****.

 

What's your point? Anyway, don't expect Ward to be traveling anytime soon. The finals of the Super 6 will be in Vegas as well. If Ward beats Dirrell, he'll be the top seed in the Semis and will get a home fight in that round as well.

 

Actually............that was YOU GUY'S to pump up a mediocre win for Joe. He had already been exposed by Shieka before the JC fight. I don't know how many times it has to be explained........he REALLY lost to Sheika first.atsch

 

My point is clear isn't it? Every other fighter has to travel away from their own country, into their opponent's home town. Yet Ward doesn't. Seen as every home town fighter has won so far, you don't think that's an unfair advantage?

 

it's actually Vanderpool. and you can even make a case for shieka at 2nd or 3rd but tsypko would be around 5

 

Olympic gold medalist get a certain margin until they lose. even sometimes after tehy still get thme. This tourney needed a goldmedalist . so for the first 3 fight i have no problem with him fighingt at home but for the semi's and final he'll more then likely have to travel

 

No, it's not an unfair advantage. It's only an advantage period if the fight is close. Neither of Ward's fights have been close. There's no way you can tell me Ward doesn't beat Kessler or Green no matter what the location is.
