    Ward's last fight with Bika had a very small crowd. He has an ugly, dirty style and consequently few fans.
    Like I said if you feel that it's wrong then talk to abraham's promoter cause THEY agreed to do the semi-finals and the actual final in America. Is that hard for you to understand? You're crying about the fight being in Cali when Abraham's people chose for it to be there.

      They never chose it being there at all. They wanted it to be in Germany.

      And Ward's first fight should have been in Denmark, since Kessler was the WBA champion.

      The agreement that was signed by all involved called for a referee from a neutral country, yet it turned out to be Goossen's favorite home referee Jack Reiss, who was absolutely disgraceful. He permitted Ward to foul, while chastising Kessler for nothing throughout the fight.

      Ward should have lost the fight by DQ because of the OBVIOUSLY deliberate headbutt that ended it.

        So they didn't chose the fight in Cali because of the overwhelming Armenian population? Now you're just being an idiot. It goes to show you how little faith they have in Abraham to begin with because if they really wanted the fight to be in Germany they wouldn't have signed a contract saying that they would do the semi-final and final in the states. They didn't even think Abraham would make it this far. The only reason he did is because he knocked out a faded Jermain Taylor. SMH your bias is ridiculous. I would of had no problem with Wards fight against Kessler being in Denmark. But that's because i'm not a bias fan. You on the other hand are.

            Why have the Showtime commentators never mentioned this?
            That would be like a family hiring a convicted child ******er to babysit their kids. Good thing for ward, americans dont really care for boxing anymore unless its pac & may.

              Ward is owning eastern europeans left and right. First Kessler, today Abraham, and next Froch. Too much for you racists to digest.

                Exactly.

                    Couple of things:

                    -Hopkins has taken plenty of urine tests for drug testing since he has fought in plenty of athletic commissions. He is willing to take those. Pascal wants OST and you can't demand that AFTER you sign the contract. That's ridiculous.

                    -If Victor Conte is working with so many athletes, don't you think they would investigate him in depth to make sure he isn't selling or distributing? One of the main people of WADA said that Conte's methods such as hyperbolic training are legal.

                    -LOL at people criticzing Ward for fighting dirty against Sakio Bika, when Bika equally if not more committed more fouls in that fight. I just watched it again today and Bika lead with his head a lot than Ward did.

                      They were both dirty.

                      However, the referee didn't say a word to Ward, but was warning Bika every time.

                      I remember at one point Ward hit Bika hard off the break with the referee watching, but the ref said nothing, and another time Ward wound up and landed an obviously deliberate headbutt in front of the referee, but once again the ref said nothing.
