Andre Ward ''I've Earned The Right To Fight At Home''

[Bastian Loc]

Ward drew only 4100 fans for his fight with Bika. His hold 'n headbutt style is UGLY to watch.

When Bute fought Bika in Montreal, he drew 16000.

It doesn't make economic sense for the craven Andre Ward to keep fighting at home. But he will, because he feels insecure without the home ref there to allow him to repeatedly foul.

lmao...........


Props to Oakland for exposing the fraud.

I agree with you Walt. I thought he would have had an easier time with Bika, had he just boxed him from the outside. I mean, he can do it. He's versatile in that regard and I want to see him do more of that.

I'm right witcha coach. He's shown excellent boxing ability, especiay in the amateurs and up until about and during the Miranda fight. He seems to have lost his way a little bit, or he thinks he has to fight like this on the elite level.

I just remember a more versatile guy than we've seen his last 4 fights and he had a chance to showcase his skills vs bika and didn't.

well, coming in head first complete with lowblows and elbows for 12 rounds with no warnings from the ref in your hometown, is dirty fighting with home court advantage in my book, and can take the opponent out of their game if he can't recipricate...

seems like the general consensus is son of bernard is a dirty fighter who feels the need to have home court advantage in his fights...he definitely went on the defensive when the question was asked about his fights being in oakland, its right here in black and white, so he must either read about his negative critiques, or is well informed...

if we live in an era where you can't express your distaste for a certain fighters tactics and business acumen without being tagged a "hater", then boxing will be as boring as sob's last fight...

but please man, nobody is "hating" on sob, more like, to the discerning critic, he just has to prove some things before making final judgment on him...

green k owed, specially for the "hate" breakdown.

Nsb is infinitely better if you completely ignore any thread about Floyd or manny.

[Shattered Jaw]

Urgh, Andre Ward is the ONLY fighter whose fights I refuse to watch unless they involved someone else with a chance to win. He is disgracefully boring and just plain dirty.

thanks walt...

[Pirao]

Hilarious, so does this mean he's going to keep breaking the super 6 rules and having all of his fights at home?

[gauze]

Ward is one of the next superstars of boxing. At first people were saying that he was afraid to mix it up but now they are saying that he is mixing it up too much. He is very versatile . . . he beat Kessler's azz . . . headbutts or no headbutts. I think he will do the same with Abraham and Froch (I will give it to Froch he impressed me in the Kessler and Abraham fight although he fought the same fight that Dirrell fought against Abraham but he doesn't have a chance against Ward).

why do you think that?

[MikeRo1972]

WTF are you talking about? He isn't breaking Super6 rules.

[nomadman]

WTF are you talking about? He isn't breaking Super6 rules.

If he isn't, he's taking the extreme piss with his hometown heroics. Ward needs to fight away from home to legimitise his future wins. As it stands, too many people believe (rightly) that he gets unfair help from the judges and the ref.
