Will Ward drop out of the Super Six....

[Disposable Arts]

A Semi Final bout in Oakland would be a travesty for this tournament, so heavily favoring one guy.. who just happens be an American in an American made tournament.

But you never know with the corrupt and shady Dan Goossen, he might try and get the final in Oakland.

This should take place in Germany.... Abraham has had only one fight there and Ward has had two fights in literally his backyard.

This would square things up perfectly with two at home, and one away in Europe/America for each fighter... Abraham will still be a huge draw in Germany (think 30,000 in a stadium) despite his defeat to Froch (and Dirrell).

However, supposing it is the Semi-finals maybe somewhere on the East Coat should be considered...Although not sure what the crowds would be like.

Expect Ward to kick up a fuss though and demand home refs, judges, crowd etc.

Agree, although if the semis are to be in Vegas they should stick to that.

There is no way in hell Ward fights Abraham in Germany.

Lol yes, both of these are valid points.

Also, Larryx.... why would Abraham drop out? He's at the lowest point of his career... two loses with the second being extremely one sided. He now has a shot at the WBA title and a shot to get to the final of the SuperSix....why on earth would he drop out?

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 16,000)

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.

The rules book of the Super 6 calls for an Eastcoast-doubleheader setting...so I would guess that AC's Boardwalk Hall would be a no-brainer as well as LV (though not being on the Eastcoast but generally ragrded as the home of commercial boxing).

Promotional-wise it would be dumb to split up on the semis and to add different timezones to that.

Let them winners step up for a stairdown right after the second fight to end the night --- good 'ol WWE **** that always attracts the masses...

[puga]

its really dumb for him to do that since he leads the tourney right now...i think it should be in a neutral ground (atleast not in cali)but i just dont see AA winning no matter what.....

What? They're fighting in Vegas.

Just wanted to clarify my earlier post. As per Dan Rafeal at ESPN the site for this fight is in US but they haven't decided what city yet. I like you hope it will not be in Oakland.
