My last post clearly went over your head. I said, I hope that they fight outside of Oakland, so everyone can shut up whining about it. Then, the link that I posted was to SHOW that 1) the promoters are the ones with the dispute, not the fighters and 2) this started with the promoters back in March, and its nothing new.
With that said, I want them to fight outside of Oakland. Heck, I would love for the rest of his fights to be outside Oakland. To show that, no matter the location, he still beats the guys IN THE RING.Comment

I agree. But, it just kills me how guys are crying as if the fight is off. I mean, we have posters calling Ward and Dirrell "cowards" because of all of this.

Neither Dirrell nor Ward have spoken out about any disputes, its been their promoters. But the thing I like about the tourney is that they WILL fight.Comment

At least this TS managed to put an accurate title.Comment

Fight news is the source, from August 6.WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward revealed last night on Marc Lichtenfeld’s highly acclaimed weekly radio show “Through the Ropes” that no site has been picked for his September 25 Group Stage 3 Super Six World Boxing Classic showdown with Andre Dirrell, but it will be at a neutral site.
Venues have already been named for the other two pivotal Group Stage 3 matchups. WBC super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler will take on Allan Green in the newly-built state-of-the art MCH Multiarena Herning in Denmark, also on September 25. The following week, Arthur Abraham and Carl Froch will collide at the Chapiteau de l’Espace Fontvieille in Monaco.Comment

This is starting to become a pattern with the Bay Area olympian. First he postpones against Green due to a sore knee and now that same Ward is involved in a 2nd consecutive "rain check", WTF? Goosen went on record saying he had no problem with Detroit and Shaw is smart enough to make the numbers stick to keep the Motor City as the site. I just don't get it. The only x factor to this would be some type of date later in the fall that could drive the numbers up, similar to $May faking a summer rib injury to secure Mexican freedom day vs. JMM. But both of these guys are American and I don't see any niche dates out there from Oct to December. I'm slowly starting to wonder if Ward's "hat in hand", S.O.G. approach to things is real or is he a prima donna much like Calzaghe was accused by Warren of being.Comment

i can't ****ing stand Rafael he's always got a hard on for mayweather notice how despite his claim that he loves the super six because it means he doesn't have to think about the mayweather pacquiao fight not happening he mentions it nonetheless because thats the type of prick he is
also is a so called boxing journalist supposed to call a heavyweight champion a ducker i don't think so
then he takes away bundrage's glory by saying spinks is a shot fighter funny that seeing as he hasn't been stopped since he fought zab judah in 2005
