What Andre Ward and Sven Ottke have in common

[#1Assassin]

has anyone even said his next fight will be in oakland too? i mean there were 3 fights and 3 fighters were lucky enough to fight at home. ward was one of em, i havent heard anything about all his super six fights being at home.

and like someone said already do you seriously think it wouldve made a diffrence were the fight was at? ward outclassed him and wouldve done so anywhere on the globe.

All his fights will be in Oakland. Watch this video.

Hershman says "Andre Ward never travels." Watch Ward bragging in an interview that his promoter managed to get them to agree ALL his fights would be at home, and then the other promoters were upset about it.

it is a bit unfair, cant blame ward though. you get every advantage you can, as a klitschko fan you cant eally complain too much. he will be fighting americans in his next two fights too so maybe there will be a bit less hostile crowd.

ill admit it is unfair but you cant hold it against him. thats boxing, ring size was smaller than the size agreed upon for all super six fights, that favored kessler. take some give some..

The Klitschkos are so much better than their opponents, where they fight doesn't matter as much.

Goossen had a home ref in Los Angeles work the Klitschko-Arreola fight, but it didn't help Arreola much.

Sven Ottke refused to fight outside Germany because he wanted to be sure he had a home referee to protect him from tough cookies like Robin Reid. He was very skillful, but of course he also wanted home judges to be sure he'd get the decision in close fights.

Andre Ward refuses to fight outside California because he needs a home referee who allows him to deliberately headbutt and hold his opponent's arm while hitting. He's fast, but if he wasn't allowed to hold so much, he might have his questionable chin tested.

If Ward doesn't fight outside California for the rest of the Super Six tournament, is that fair to the other five fighters, who will all fight on the road?

only 2 fights are in oakland I think

Watch the video I posted above.

"Ward never travels". It presented a problem in the Super Six negotiations.

It was quite close early until Kessler seemed to get upset by holding and headbutts but Ward still had the edge. Kessler never got into his rhythm.

i guess i got you confused with someone else carni butt i thought you was a defender of that lacky ottke. guess not.

imo and i think its factual. and in post interview ningconpoop kess stated
he shouldnt of stood in front of him.
GODT kess.....YES!
AND YOU COULDNT PULL THE DANG TRIGGER!

and that corner of kess was again of little help. at least they had a cut man who could deal unlike against cal.

and all those euroslugs he fought since cal couldn't of helped.

jeez. kess just stood there standing in front.
kess get with... even goldenboy over here. get away from the ofes
who have limited you!

carni i thought you was going to take a break.

I am starting now.

Kessler's inactivity didn't help. I always quote this because it's so true:

"Inactivity ruins a boxer" - Cus D'Amato.

What did the crowd have to do with Kessler getting bitched slapped around the ring.
