Comments Thread For: Ward vs Bika Raises More Eyebrows For Super Six Tourney

[LeadUppercut]

Its obvious, they used Showtime for short term gain.

How the hell has Dirrell "gained" from this ?

[LeadUppercut]

Don't get mad it about it buddy. Just sit back, kick your legs up on the coffee table, and enjoy watching Andre Ward single handedly destroy all of Europe's finest.

I get just giddy at the thought.

You may have taken shoulder-roll's comment the wrong way, unless I missed something.

At last a challenge for FRAUD WARD.

Ward has dominated so far,biased scoring is not even an issue.

A real champion can fight anywhere with the same results.

REALLY then why the feck doesn't he fight outside Oakland then?

Why has Fraud Ward had home town refs for EVERY fight?

Why did he headbutt Kessler 7 TIMES without punishment?


As almost everyone here has said, this tournament has been giftwrapped for Ward because the U.S. has REALLY **** super middle weights who would NOT have won any titles outside their own corrupt country, had it not been for this corrupt tournament.


There is now some light however, as Bika will hopefully kick the living **** out of Fraud Ward due to the fact that Ward is a fake.

He ran against Miranda, against Bika he'll be fecking sprinting to the ref for any help he can get. Bika may be limited but he IS damn hard and not the sort of guy Ward has any hope of bullying.

ps. For the many ill-educated Yank Ward nuthuggers here, Bika is from AFRICA and therefore not European.



I REALLY hope this fight happens.

[Michael Hall]

LOL @ these tournaments being gift wrapped for Ward. You guys are straight up haters. Now he's a fraud? Isn't that the same nickname given to Floyd Mayweather and Roy Jones in their primes?


Must be a BLACK thing... Hate on haters!

Yeah, that's right..... Ward the fraud.

That fraud was lucky that they staged the 2004 Olympics in Oakland.

Oh, wait.....

Ward is gonna be pissing you off for years

being a fan of Ward's, I blindly predicted a win over the favored Kessler and was there that night in Oakland to witness it. anyone who knows dirty boxing could see that Ward used some tricks out of the book with the punch off the hold and battle ram, and Kessler surprisingly wasn't able to deal with it. Even without the damage done by the butts, Ward was still walking away with the belt and a clear UD. He was beating Kessler to the punch, establishing his jab, and confusing Kessler with his ability to switch from orthodox to southpaw. And yet with all that, his gameplan was focused more on the inside tactics that lead to the fight being stopped. It would have been fair for the ref to take a point away from Andre at some point. It's clear now, especially after the Green fight that Ward has found a way to wear his opponents down, win rounds, and in the process bruise them enough to feel it, since he can't rely on one-punch power. smart fighter, but i will agree that having homecourt advantage doesn't help his career. Already theres much criticism, and I too think he can gain much deserved respect and recognition by fighting abroad. Bute has a much bigger fan base, and i think both Froch and Abraham rival him with their respected hometown support. the future for the super six is getting interesting.

The 2004 Olympics ?

Saying that Ward only wins because he fights in Oakland is ridiculous.

He's had a slight advantage, lets keep it real.

The ring is the same size for both fighters.

[Dave Rado]

Agreed, or perhaps "acknowledged" would be more accurate

I always prefer technical fighters over punchers, and I like Ward's aggressive in-your-face style. I like that he brings more to the table than just moving and scoring from the outside.

But what I really like.....
I hate it when a young boxer/mover gets overawed by dirty tactics, or niggled off his game by a wily old vet. Ward has too many options to get caught out like that.

He is a very mature young fighter.

Folks who aren't Ward fans, save yourselves some misery......
dont be a fan of any SMW/LHW for the next 10 years

I agree with almost all of what you said. I still find it hard to really warm to someone who leads with their head and who doesn't have a knock-out punch. As with B-Hop, I suspect I'll end up respecting him as a great fighter, but never becoming a real fan of his.

[Walt Liquor]

ward is a good fighter, overrated considering who he beat, but good fighter.

he's gotten a break by being able to stay home in the tourney but hasn't gotten any gift decisions.

i thought dirrel was gonna beat him

[Jim Jeffries]

Yeah Ward is going to cruise through this thing now that Dirrell is gone. Be interesting to see how he deals with the (equally) dirty Bika though.
