    Ward's had three fights at home straight now. Arthur's last two fights were away from home.

    Can Ward legally demand to stay at home again and you can bet your ass Sauerland will want every advantage they can muster for their lad.

    Bookmark this thread. I think there's going to be alot of pull out threats in the coming weeks......

    If I'm not mistaken it was mandated in the rules before the tourney started that the semis and finals would be in America.

    It will be shameful if Fraud gets all his fights in the states. Froch should insist on a neutral venue again, if Fraud isn't happy with it Froch wins the super 6

    The one with more points, should obviously get the home advantage.
    In this case Andre Ward

    Im little bit suprised, if they didnt put that in the rules

    Good. If I was Abraham I'd demand the fight were in Alaska. Totally take Ward out of his comfort zone.

    Sure Abraham will be somewhat uncomfortable too, but he has more chest hair and should be able to adapt more easily.

    Believe me Abraham will pull out the tourney, back to back losses and now scheduled to fight a top 3 undefeated SMW in he's back yard, I don't see it happening

    It'll be in Oakland as Ward is the #1 seed.

    This is precisely how I see it. Abraham will be thinking about his future earnings and 3 straight losses will ruin that.

    Ward will not fight in Germany, Abraham will raise a fuss about this and back out of the tourney, o back to MW and feast on lesser competition.

    I'm pretty sure it'll be in Oakland also. I may be mistaken but Dan Rafael from ESPN said it'd be in the states for sure.

    Fair enough if Ward was top of the rankings with wins away or on neutral territory,but when his sitting pretty at the top after fighting all 3 at home and 2 against drafted in opponents.....You know this whole tornament stinks if it is to be held in America!

    Has to be on neutral ground... would be insane if it isn't. Ward already is the 10 to 1 (wild guess) favorite in this bout, giving him an even bigger edge with his own ref, judges and hometown/country is just wrong.
