Shouldn't Ward be grateful to Goossen for home advantage in all his Super Six fights?

    "home advantage makes all the difference"

    that statement, only a full blown troll makes.

    Wrong he would have been robbed in Nottingham like Dirrell and would have been robbed in Germany had he fought double A there

    Of course I think it works for all. You are trying to argue for the sake of it, yet know full well, you are ducking the questions I posed to you, hence you have painted yourself into a corner.
    Tell me if home advantage is of no use, why Ward wanted it for the S6?

    Ward didnt dominate. It was a close fight that Ward won.
    Still we dont know how it would have been for Ward, had he had to do the run Froch did and if he was an away fighter.

    Same country and home fighter.
    If Hopkins/Kovalev was happening in Russia, but in the furthest part of Russia to where Kovalev comes from. Would you call it neutral ground?
    Also we are not just talking one fight, its the whole run Froch did and being an away fighter. We dont know how Ward would have done having had the same run and in being an away fighter.
    Tell me which American SMWs have won big fights when travelling to Europe?

    Ask yourself this. Why did Ward feel the need for home advantage if you feel it makes no odds?

    You got that list of American based and European based SMWs who have travelled to America/Europe respectively for world title fights ready yet Jab :lol::oops:.

    American and American based SMWs and Canadian and Canadian based SMWs dont seem to be able to win big fights at SMW when fighting in Europe.
    Consider how Lacy, Dirrell, J Taylor, Bute, Pascal, Mitchell, Brewer etc all were beaten in Europe

    In Europe
    Bute, Dirrell, Pascal, Andrade, Green, Lucas, Lacy, Manfredo, Pudwill, McIntyre, Jimenez, Sheika, Brewer, Mitchell, Schommer, Holmes, Close (I said based in America), Thornton, Essett, Jarvis, McClellan, Perez, Gatti (not Arturo), Tate, Butler, G Johnson, Hernandez, Bryan
    Lost in Europe
    This just gives an idea but do consider that out of those 28 fighters 21 were or became world rated in the division, and some fought more than once in Europe.

    European SMW fighters fighting away from home have had better success but still lost away.

    This may assist your list

    Home country advantage enabled Ward to use deliberate head butts in the Kessler and Abraham fights.

    Lmao at home country advantage! First it was home state, than he had his own personal referees, than he had the judges paid off, now this! Your bitterness and desperation are incredibly funny! :lol:

    Who said Ward wanted it for the S6? His management and promotional teams work out where a fight will be held and how much the fighters are going to be paid. Then the athletic commision appoints the referee and judges. So unless you can prove it was Ward who did all thisyou dont have a leg to stand on. Fact is there are only two men fighting in that ring and Ward has always been the best man.

    I had forgotten this post a bit and after you got pwned badly, you left it several days before replying to me, in order to try and answer, hope I wouldnt notice and save face for the humiliation you are suffering.

    I asked this question
    I never said anything about referee, judges etc. You did, as a way of trying to shift the subject from what was asked, due to being in a corner :lol:.
    Now, stick to the question at hand and view the video :oops:, and then please answer the question as best as you feel you can, as you feel there is no advantage to being at home.
    Jab has been jabbed to pieces and in a corner he cant get out of. Just admit you got it wrong Jab :hi:
