Now you know why...

[bojangles1987]

People seem to have amnesia about Ward not getting fair judging in Atlantic City against Froch despite winning 10 rounds. He could win all 12 in the UK and have to worry.

[Cutthroat]

Study a map, idiot. Manchester isn't Froch's 'backyard'.

It's barely 82 miles away from his hometown, his fans are there and the UK embraces him wholly. Even Ward's last fight against Rodriguez was much farther away lol.

we ain't leaving murrica

To be honest, I wouldn't fight anywhere. America got that woman judge, what's her name? C J Ross? Terrible judge. Texas? Corrupted. This ref? Seemed dodgy on all accounts.

[Craveman]

For those who say about this dodgy officiating. Tell me how did Bradley win against Junior Witter when he came to UK? You'll get a nod here too.

Americans....

[Light_Speed]

There have been many cases of bad officiating in the US as well. Kirkland/Molina, Mares/Agbeko 1, off the top of my head.

But yeah if you're fighting a british star in the UK you better not get slightly hurt and you better not get up at 9.

Ward will just beat him easier this time. There's no pint, only for money

Great point, it's so bad these days that nothing really surprises me anymore. Funny thing is that shady judging / reffing only seems to benefit the promoters, the winner of a bad decision usually faces undeserved scrutiny.

Didn't Ward say he would KO Froch if they fought again? He'd need one just to make sure.

Froch is British and Ward is not. It would be Froch's home country and the advantage would go to Froch.
