Comments Thread For: Andre Ward vs Andre Dirrell Early Drama Begins

[Glamour Puss]

Shaw's gotta point about this.

I never liked the fact that Ward got all 3 fights in Oakland.

Thats bull****.

[βetamax]

I agree that's a bit of BS to have all 3 fights held at home. However, I really don't see a good case for it being held in Detroit either. They should just hold it somewhere neutral.

The fight should not be held in Detroit or Oakland.

They have to have it somewhere that they can sell tickets they don't want to take the fight to a place where nobody knows them

Should be done in Detroit since Ward had two home fighters and Andre has only had one. A lot of people showed up for Dirrell V Abe and even more will show up considering it's two Americans and Dirrell has shown that he is a force in this tourney. Ward getting 3 home court advantages would be a huge stain on the Super Six.

Be dumb not to have it in one of their home towns. I'd say 8,000 people or so came to see Abraham V Dirrell Saturday night. Where do you think they could draw that amount of people for that fight other than his home town? Ward V Dirrell could probably get 12-15000 people in Detroit or Oakland. You won't even get close to that in any other city. When Abe/Dirrell was scheduled in Cali they had it at a venue that would only hold 2,000 people.

oaktown style sucka



Ward is going to beat Direll anyway so the venue doesnt matter

[King Ju-Ju]

Yeah Goosen is an ass. All 3 fights in Oakland? C'mon, lets be serious. Its only fair he goes 2 Detroit 2 fight Dirrell.

[Dan...]

That's the only thing I dont like about ward either. Man wtf kessler has to come to oakland, dirrell has to go to nottingham, abraham has to go to detroit, froch has to fight in denmark and here comes andre ward with no travel clauses.

Yeah, that is complete bull****.
