        Its scandalous that all his super six fights were at home. Not a level playing field at all.

          Apparently Atlantic City as well. You know, that place where he beat Froch to win the tournament.

            I saw nothing shady in Froch fight, other than Ward not doing OST as he had said he would. I'd say he'd beat Froch anywhere.

              It was awfully convenient how the draw worked out for Ward though.
              I don't think they were all set before the tournament, maybe the first round. I remember in watching the fight camp 360 episode where Goossen makes a big point about how Andre doesn't travel even if he has to take a financial cut to fight at home. If they were all set he wouldn't have had to argue this.

              Also they matchups were dependent on who won and lost in each round so there was no way to set the locations before they knew the fights. And if they were set before, the Abraham vs Froch fight wouldn't be able to have been negotiated for a neutral venue when neither could agree to fight at the others home

                Andre Ward is the last American boxer to capture gold in the Olympics and the only Olympian competing in the Super Six. He was a cut above the rest, it wouldn't matter if he fought in his homeland or on foreign ground, the fact that he completely dominated every single one of his opponents proves this.

                  Why hasnt Ward done anything of note in recent years, he's wasting away being a damn hermit in his hometown. He needs to get out more

                    Ward refused to do VADA testing against Rodriguiz, and refused OST for the Kessler and Abraham fights.
