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

[Evil Abed]

Dan Goossen may be crooked, but no one can deny he's smart.

I agree.

I can't hate on Ward for wanting to fight at home.

I bet most fighters want to.

He'll never be confused for the Road Warrior, that's for damn sure.

[BOLLOCKS]

Lulz, couldn't even make it in Nevada at least.

[Pullcounter]

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

How is Ward going to get over the jet lag?

[studentofthegam]

Great management.

Bad opposing management.

Thats the best possible response. He said it himself, he is going to try and get every fight in Okland if possible so its no secret. Sounds like the smartest move in the world to me.

It doesn't really matter where they have this fight - the outcome will be the same; Ward is levels above AA, it's not even going to be close.

Its gonna be a clinic. When Abraham gets tired(and he will) its gonna be brutal.

How is Ward going to get over the jet lag?

He could take a little nap at a cousins house.

Sven Ottke was smart.

[studentofthegam]

Sven Ottke was smart.

Not as smart as Ward because Dre actually wants the top guys and gets the top guys to come visit. However Ottke did get Glen to show up but Glen wouldve fought him in his livingroom.

[Heru]

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 ****.
