Is Ward worthy of being in the tourney?

[FreshOutOfHell]

He doesn't travel, though all others do, some twice.

He wants all califonian refs and judges for his hometown events.

Does he deserve the shot?

simple yes or no.

Ward has a good record. He's not got great experience, but the win over Miranda is enough for him to deserve a shot IMO.

If Ward wins at the weekend, most of this forum will proclaim him as P4P quality. If he loses, they will say he never should've been in the tourney in the first place.

Him fighting only in America isn't a big deal to me, as 2 of his opponents are American. The judges and ref being from his home state is an issue though.

Good post.

I'd green k you, but I can't.

He is one of the best fighters in it imo. If he's on top form then i think he's going to beat Kessler via a decision.

[MANGLER]

Yea. Ward got skills, he just ain't done anything yet. Unless you count the Miranda win. This is his chance to shine.

With Goossen's local judges he won't lose a decision, that's for sure.

[hi-five]

Yes i think he does. The only ones you could have included in the tourney were Bute and Andrade, or maybe Pavlik?
