Is Andre Ward becoming the "Sven Ottke" of this era?

Yes, he will fight outside of Oakland.

Where is he fighting Dirrell?

**Dick Buffman** · 08-13-2010, 12:24 PM

He wishes he was that good.

Sven Ottke understood distance and punching range.

They are doing this so they know the result of the Froch/AA fight and the two batty boys Dirrel and Ward can sort out a fixed fight

That featherfisted chumps resume is a joke.

I honestly hope he does but with the attitude he displayed at the beginning of the the super 6 and the fact that he is upset about the location now.....I have my doubts.

Sad thing is Kessler didn't hesitate won bit to go to Oakland, even though he was the champ and the man of that division, to defend his title against a prospect.

Froch was champ and didn't do all this diva stuff when he had to go to Demark to face Kessler. Same with Abraham going to Detroit.

I know you are a fan of Ward but you honestly have to be annoyed with Ward and his actions.

Ward shouldn't be allowed to have so many fights in Oakland in this tourney.

The fight should be in Detroit.

Hes certainly no Road Warrior, if he had it his way he'd fight at the Oracle for every fight.

I don't know how anyone could call him a "warrior" either.

People say hes boring like Hopkins, but Hopkins was an exciting young fighter.. Only when he got older did he switch up tactics and engage in more clinching, etc.

At least he has a better KO ratio than the Great Ottke.

Show me a link where it says that he is upset with the location now? I haven't read anything about him being upset.

I've read this though

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.
