I was talking to a friend at the Pascal v Dawson fight who is a casual boxing fan. We were talking about the Super Six and he said word for word : "I like the concept but its taking too long and I've lost interest."
i can understand his opinion. the groupstage should´ve be done and finished, within 12 monthd. BUT the most important "fail" is this - before they announced the tourney, ALL should´ve been negotiated. Everything from venue to glove size. the main thing putting me of, isnt the timeframe, but the goddamn sissy-like behaviour in negotiations.
Ward needs to fight one time outside of his hometown. Damn super 6 is moving so damn slow. Slowest tournment ever.
Hypejob LOL. Abraham is a hypejob then. He couldn't do nothing but look like a bum against dirrell. AND HE LOOKED LIKE A BUM THE WHOLE FIGHT EVEN WHEN HE WAS PRESSING. If you don't like dirrell then you don't like dirrell. But atleast find an inteligent way to discredit his ability. Not really any way to discredit his ability because it is very real and FAR ABOVE AVERAGE showing things that border on greatness.
You really can't negotiate the actual venue for fights a year or more in advance. You need locked down dates before you present a fight to an arena. However, I agree, they should have had a better protocol in place. It should have been agreed to that either A. It's Ward's choice B. It's Dirrell's choice or C. A mutually agreed to site that must be agreed to within 60 or 90 days of the fight. If no agreement is reached, Showtime will serve as arbitrator and give binding decision. Something like that. I don't have any issue with the time it's taking. It's right in line with the original schedule.
you mean casamayor. That was more like roy jones vs mike mccallum. Roy was fighting a man he really respected in his early days. It might be more of a tapia vs MAB where they were good friends and faught a gritty fight. Who knows? I don't
What the hell is wrong with these people behind Ward! Does the word fairplay not excist in their mind! Are that meathead Dan Goosen really so afraid that Ward cant win outside his hometown, or maybe he really DO need his hometurf to win! If this continoures Ward will get more hate than credit if he wins the tournament. Its ridicilous
