People sht on Ward for fighting in Oakland,but i hear barely anything about Butes refusal to fight anywhere outside of Canada.Thats why Vegas is great for boxing it generally is a neutral site for fights giving no one a distinct home advantage.

What an arrogant jerk.
I had the fight dvr'd because it was on the same broadcast as the AA/Froch fight.
I deleted it today without watching Ward/Bika.
I'm extra glad I did after reading that.
Rot in Oakland.Comment

He is now a defending champion who won his title in dominant fashion and I have no issue with him fighting at home and think challengers should have to come to him.
He gets away with some fouls but the judges haven't helped him win any fights, its been all him even if it can be in an ugly manner at times with underhanded tactics.Comment

Earning has nothing to do with it. This tournament is about fighting home and away. This guy cannot have all his fight at home while everyone else fights away. His fight with AA must take place in Germany. Of that there must be no negotiation. After the fuss between Froch and Abraham over location, I doubt Team Abraham will budge on this issue.Comment

Shows how little you know.
It's in the Super 6 contracts that semi-final and final rounds will be conducted in the good ol USA.
"Of that there must be no negotiation"
LMAO.
You're damn right there won't be any discussion, Sauerland will be looking to cash out this automatic payday and then they'll be done with this no skill hack of a fighter anyway.Comment

Right lets ignore the double standard. Ward hasn't earned sh#t.Comment

neutral location for both semis (eg vegas) should be the way forward.
but lets be real, Ward has earned the right to a home fight in the semi a hell of a lot more than AA hasComment

If I was Froch I wouldn't fight in Frwards hometown, netural venue, end of.
How the *** can you have a showdown final in someones backyard especially that of someone who hasn't fought away nor earned any right.Comment

All the top 168 guys need to agree not to fight Ward unless it is outside of his hometown.
Wish Kessler hadn't agreed to fight him there to be honest.Comment
