Dear @LiveFight:

I sincerely hope you have the opportunity to watch the (West coast) tape delay of tomorrow's Ward-Abraham fight from the Home Depot Center in Long Beach, CA.

And I really wonder where you were when he beat veteran Jerson Cavelo in the Cayman Islands in 2008…?

Then he fights Bika, in what of the dirtiest displays of headbutting, elbowing and mauling Ive seen in the last few years.

Ward was even caught in slow motion, throwing in a big, deliberate elbow into Bika's face.

When he fights a big, genuine opponent like Froch, who can dish it as much as Ward, he will be taken into the deep waters and drowned.

Not even his hometown referee or his head butts will save him.

Facinating how you never mentioned the fact that he has fought ALL of his fights at home. Wheras the rest of the fighters have fought home and in the enemy's back yard.

Also the disgusting 8 headbutts he was allowed to perform on Mikkel Kessler, splitting not one, both both his eye brows open. Not warning, no point deduction from the hometown referee. If that was fought in Kessler's country – or any other country, Ward would have been disqualified inside the first 3 or 4 rounds.

Kessler's eye has since seen him withdraw from the tournament.

Then when Showtime wish to move forward with four fighters after Kessler and Dirrell retire (another Ward story there) – it was Team Ward who demanded their contracted fight on TV and so they had to bring in Bika and Johnson purely for his satisfaction – despite all other interested parties wanting to move forward with just four fighters.
