    Because I'm a biased, Northern California resident.

    P.S.

    Adamek has fought in the Prudential Center, with a HUGE Polish contingent, in 8 fights. Got a 119-110 score against Chambers, lmao.

    He also fought V.K. in Poland.

    So until a blatant robbery is given to Ward while fighting in Oakland, I really don't want to hear that lame ass excuse.
    i agree on the fighting in oakland part. ppl like to forget most of those fights really couldnt be made somewhere else. was he gonna fight green and bika in their hometowns? that wouldnt sell a ticket, even in vegas it wouldnt make as much money as it did in oakland.

    when he fought kessler it was the first fight of the super six. after that mikkel was supposed to fight in denmark in his next fight which he did. ward was supposed to fight taylor in little rock but jermain pulled out, was he gonna fight green in oaklahoma? again he was gonna fight away, this time dirrell in detroit but like taylor andre pulled out. bike became his next opponent, you think it makes sense to make ward-bika in sydney? how about cameroon? and abraham coming of two embarassing losses in a row wasnt a good sell in germany at the time. oakland was the only logical choice the as well.

    then he froch who he fougth in AC and now dawson back in oakland, he could have fought dawson somewhere else, but other than kessler its really the first time he chose to take a fight that could be made anywhere and make it at home.

      Ward over Froch

      Froch has a better resume than Adamek.

      Adamek was struggling to make weight.

      Ward beat Froch more impressively than Dawson beat Adamek.

      In Froch next fight he destroyed an undefeated fighter who some regarded as the best smw.

      In Adameks next fight he moved up to CW and imo looked rejuvinated albeit against not the most talented of opponents but imo this further suggests he was weight drained at LHW.

        rooting for ward against dawson, but adamek was the better win

        it wouldve been interesting to see what wouldve happened had adamek been able to secure bigger name opponents, froch had the opportunity to fight in the super six and raise his name while adamek was fighting in a division (cruiser) not exactly known for their big names and beat cunningham anyway...showing real power in the process

        adamek is a much better fighter than most people give him credit for

          People keep takling about resume, but what about in what manner the beat there opponent.

          The dawson/adamek fight was fairly close, Ward dominated

          Everyone that have faught Froch keeps saying have strong he is.
          He beat pascal on pure strenght IMO same with abraham,dirrel,bute and kessler(despite the lose).
          The dude is super strong and tough and is why he can compete with faster fighters.

          Ward bullyed froch like as if he was a cruiserweight

              Dawson/Adamek wasn't close at all, Dawson dominated and got dropped.

              Froch didn't beat Abraham on pure strength.

                Neither guy 'dominated' but both won a clear cut decision. Also gotta disagree with the beating Abraham with pure strength part especially, he showed great composure that night and showed he does have very underrated boxing ability.

                Again more impressed by Dawson getting off the canvas after a heavy knockdown & pulling it out the bag than I was of Ward cruising then fading badly in the latter 3 rounds in a truly horrible contest.

                  .
                  I agree, but abraham is a strong guy and it was clear that froch was much stronger and that is impressive in itsself
                  (and had better skills)

                    I'd say Wards win. Both great wins though.

                      pretty equal, adamek was undefeated at the time and a great prospect
