    Sturm's last 6 fights...3 fought in his house...3 on the road
    Ward's last 6 fights....5 fought in his house...1 on the road(s6 final)

    Sturm lives in the german city Cologne...the state is Nordrhein-Westfalen which would be equal to California in Ward's case

      Close fights IMO that could of gone either way.

      From what I remember & I maybe wrong but I am sure I recall saying Murray did well to get a draw & I'm sure Macklin faded quite badly & let Sturm back into the fight, you can't go into a champions backyard, take your foot off the gas & expect to win a decision in a close fight.
      This is true about both of those fights, Macklin faded and a draw quite reasonable in the Murray fight. You can also say he has some reason to stay at home since he was robbed again DLH years ago. Neither of them really got gift decisions though, Ward outclasses his opponents badly and Sturm fights good solid fights and finishes strong. Ward headbutting Kessler wasn't intentional, so calm it down. They're both solid fighters.

      Wish Sturm would try and unify though, he's about run his course as a fighter.

        3: even though Ward has said that he no longer worked with PED expert Victor Conte he still does.

        4: even though Ward has said he wants stricter testing in boxing there is none for his fight with Dawson and there hasnt been such for any Ward fight.

        Maybe that is why Ward has misplaced his passport?


        True, because Andre "Knockout King" Ward owes all he has to his massive and overwhelming punching power. He as also drastically increased his power even after he moved up from 160 to 168. wtf?? Somebody test this dude.

          PED use has nothing to do with knockout power. That's not how you would know if a guy is using or not.

            Andre Ward sells tickets in Oakland end of story. Where in the hell else would have he been able to fight Sakio Bika, Allan Green, Edison Miranda, and Mikkel Kessler and put fans in the seats?

                LOL...It's a damn shame people want Ward to lose so bad they want to see him get robbed, DQ'd or be a victim of a biased ref.


                Ward almost got robbed against Froch. Two judges had it 115-113. SMH

                  Or Mebbe ur just a whiny ***** who can't get over the fact that kessler lost to a better fighter? U go from complaining about ref help to complaining about peds. Quite hilarious. Now I don't know if ward uses or not but u can say the sane about kessler as well. Get over it dude. Kessler lost to a better fighter and it wasn't close. Ur butt hurt has turned u into a **** poster.

                    When has Ward needed home cooking?

                    He does need to fight outside his hometown but really, on a judging standpoint, when has he needed this advantage?

                      As all Fighters from Team Sauerland, Kessler is tested yearround by the german anti doping agency, so I'd say it is not likely at all that Kessler is juicing.

                      Try again.
