      he would have had an L against Kessler had it been outside the US I am sure of it also fighting Arthur Abraham early in the Tournament would have been interesting I think he had a combination of luck of the draw and fighting exclusively at Home

        Ward vs. Kessler was disgusting. Shady officials, repeated fouling, and fought in Ward's hometown.

        Ward should have been DQ'd for the butting and clinching.

          Goosen did an outstanding job by insisting that Ward must have homefield throughout the s6.

          Had he not had that, he'd have had at least one L on his record.

            it was legit one of the dirtiest performances i've seen, repeated blatently deliberate headbutts,he should have had multiple points off or been thrown out.

              That's precisely why I'll never like Ward...

              He has a huge talent... He's strong... He's highly skilled -- but unfortunately he's also skilled in dirty boxing (which he use to call "old school" and "rough hose")...

              ... And he doesn't fight KO artists...

                I would certainly have more respect for him if he had fought abroad.

                Whether or not the results would have been different, I'm not sure - but that doesn't take away from the fact that everyone else travelled.

                  Atlantic City is in the USA.

                      How long ago was the Super Six? And you're still crying about it? Move on man, Ward proved to be the better fighter.
