Steve Kim: Ward-Abraham on May 14th is heading to the Home Depot Center in Carson, Ca

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Why are people surprised or even critical of it?

I understand being annoyed by it, but it should be understood why, this is no case of good or bad management. Where were they going to put this fight?

Ward got the luck of the draw that was made clear in the Fight Camp 360 even before the first Super 6 fight took place. It was stated in the press release that the Semifinal and Final matches would take in the US.

If it were held somewhere else in the US, it would be similar to the Bradley-Alexander in the Silverdome situation and mofos would be criticizing that. Not only that, but I don't give a **** if you're facing a shot Sven Ottke coming out of retirement, the fight before the semifinal is not the time to go on the motha****in USO tour.

I'm not even feeling Ward like that, but I gotta call cats on this damned if you do, damned if you don't ****.

Every other boxer in the Super Six has had to travel

Good for Ward.

I predict that he whips Abraham's ass, with neither the referees or the judges being a significant factor in the outcome.

[Thread Stealer]

Abraham will probably have more fans rooting for him than Ward. There's a pretty big Armenian population in Southern California (particularly Glendale). I hear Vic Darchinyan gets his share of Armenian fans when he fights in So Cal.

Oakland is like 7 hours from Carson, I doubt Ward's fans will take the trip to see him fight. He's no Ricky Hatton, or even Kelly Pavlik.

Andre ward still has the easy end of the draw. It's funny how everything worked out for him so far as far as opponents go, which really hasn't been any fault of his own.

I have no problem with location. And despite the thread going around to the contrary, I see this as another gimmie for ward. Abe's been a dissapointment since jt.

I'm not expecting a lot from this fight either, but it'd be great if Abe could chin check dre so we can see what's up.

[Mr. Philadel]

well... there's a lot of armenians in california.

Sauerland is a young smart pitbull.....I won't be suprised if Abe had more fans in there than Ward....not sayin he will but I wouldn't be shocked if he did

Dont really get why all Ward's fights have to be in the USA, I would have thought this fight would be in europe but at least it isnt happening in Oaklahoma..
