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

[flat1985]

America has so many top fighters it's not even funny. Guerrero, Bradley, Alexander, Mayweather, Berto, Pavlik, Ward, Hopkins, Dawson, Cloud, Cunningham, and on and on and on.

And how many are stars??? Obviously Mayweather but he aint fighting at the moment. Hopkins is late 40s they want a NEW star. the rest aint stars.

I hope Froch KO's Ward, when Billy goat comes in for a headbutt Froch smashes him with an uppercut.

I love how when the Super Six started, all the talk was about how it would showcase the dominance of Europeans and that the Americans were lucky to even be included.

Now that Ward has EARNED his status as that top mother****ing dog of the tournament people are looking for any excuse to take credit away from him. And all of a sudden the Super Six was invented just to be a vehicle for him.

People are so biased it's unreal.

But why should Ward have home advantage EVERY fight?

[the niggest]

They could fight at Abrahams momma's house and Ward would still beat the **** out of him. Abraham is one of the most overrated fighters in the past decade.

But why should Ward have home advantage EVERY fight?

So if Arthur was in his backyard,would he open up earlier than the halfway mark and not stay in his shell all night to get outclassed?

Who care what he would do the point is EVERY other fighter has fought away from home so WHY aint Ward?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Driving from Oakland to Carson is equivalent to driving from Berlin to Budapest.

This fight is happening in the same area where Abraham was thrilled to have initially been facing Dirrell because of the advantage in fan support he was expecting.

Of course the pansy ass Euros are gonna fill this thread by playing ****** and acting like the cheapshotting mental midget Abraham who hasn't won 2 rounds in his last 2 fights deserves better.

I dont think many people care about Abraham or think he can actually win this fight. But people are entitled to question why every other fighter has had to travel except Ward.

Playing dumb is suggesting this fight is in a nuetral venue because its not Oakland - they couldnt even leave the state....LOL.

[ShoulderRoll]

But why should Ward have home advantage EVERY fight?

Because he negotiated it into his contract? The question is why the other fighters were so dumb that they agreed to it.

And what does it even matter, can you point to one single time where having the fights in Oakland gave Ward an unfair advantage?

[Kimo]

Yeah ok it's ridiculous....but it does NOT matter in this fight.

Abraham ain't getting a decision, not with his style. He needs a knockout or he's gonna lose.

[BostonGuy]

This home court advantage has irked me from the get-go. All the other participants in the Super-6 had to travel and fight out of their comfort zone except Andre ****in Ward. Why the hell should he get an advantage like this over everyone else? Before the tourney he wasn't even a champion (or titlist for that matter) he was a top contender.

I don't know, I just think that as a champion, as top level fighter, etc. you should be able and willing to go into someone else's backyard and fight. Or, even go to a neutral site to showcase your skills and make some new fans along the way...
