Should Andre Ward have his remaining Super Six fights at home?

[RockyB]

Everybody else had to travel already.

Why does Ward keep getting the home advantage? And why do his home referees keep letting him foul - can't he win if he fights fairly??

I know, why the **** does he get to fight at home when all the others have to travel? the super six should be at a neutral arena.

The ****** ass Euros who are crying about Ward's "advantage" never gave a damn about it when the Super 6 was announced.

They all thought he was gonna get eaten alive and knocked out by Mikkel Kessler in his 1st fight. When that didn't happen they immediately wen't into excuse mode. Now the inferiority complex and pure jealousy are starting to shine through.

Kessler could fight Ward 100 times and he would lose all 100 times, no matter who the referee was.

I don't recall seeing a world champion get so thoroughly outclassed and outboxed as Kessler was by Ward, he lost every second, of every minute, of every round.

He also quit on himself mentally like a little b*tch and embarrassed himself.

People who think Reiss was the reason Ward won should actually be thanking him that he stepped in and took Kessler to the Doctor when he was on the verge of getting knocked out by a guy who doesn't knock anybody out.

LOL-yeah,they never considered it an advantage until this "green and inexperienced" American stomped Kessler's face in! By the time Ward was done, it had looked like a dog chewed Kessler's face !

That's a great point. Ward's dominance was so thorough that he was about to KO Kessler, even though Andre almost never gets knockouts.

Site for Ward-Abraham narrows to three locations:

It looks like the Super Six World Boxing Classic semifinal between tournament leader Andre Ward and Arthur Abraham will take place on May 14. The site for the Showtime-televised super middleweight title bout has not been finalized but it will definitely not take place in Europe, according to Goossen, Ward‘s promoter.

Three locations in the U.S. -- Southern California, Atlantic City and Portland -- are being considered, Goossen told RingTV.com.

“(Kalle) Sauerland (Abraham’s Germany-based promoter) is not willing to come to (Ward’s hometown) Oakland but he is willing to make concessions to do the bout in America and at an arena that I feel is worthy of the star that I believe Ward is becoming,” he said.

Goossen says the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, and a number of venues in Southern California are being considered.

Ward, THE RING’s No. 1-rated super middleweight who holds the WBA title, has fought his last three bouts at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.

Both of Williams' bouts with Martinez, which Goossen co-promoted with Lou DiBella, took place at the Boardwalk Hall. Goossen promoted the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Sharmba Mitchell fight, which took place at the Rose Garden in November of 2005.

So it's official - Andre Ward will be fighting Abraham in his home state of California, and once again he'll have a crooked home referee appointed by the California Boxing Commission who permits him to foul as much as he wants.

Abraham is going to be on the receiving end of a lot of headbutts. But he better not retaliate, or the crooked California referee will DQ him.

No matter what state he is fighting in, it's still America, his home country.

[wazaa.]

Andre Ward is a p*ssy. Ward, Berto and Bute are the new Joe Calzaghe.

Yeah California is not Wards home.

But "Europe" is home to every "European" fighter.
