Do you think this has anything to do with HBO showing Arreola v Adamek on the same night???

Ugh, no good. Ward has hurt his knee previously playing basketball and before that it was a broken thumb that put him out almost a year. Knees are sensitive things, he just couldn't build strength in it effectively so I doubt it has to do with the HBO date.
Yeah, a knee injury is one of those injuries that tend to be likely to re-occur. Especially when you are dealing with high level athletes because they put so much wear and tear on their body.Quote:

Andre Ward has reportedly pulled out of his April 24 SUPER SIX clash with Allan Green due to a knee injury. He will be out 4-6 weeks. The bout with Green, who replaced Jermain Taylor in the tournament, will be rescheduled.

Man...this sucks...4-6 weeks,those who said this tournament will never see its end maybe right...one boxer already out(he got replaced,but still...)and two fights already rescheduled,because of injuries...
I think Fensters Prediction of this event not ending is not out of the question.Quote:

Does anyone know more details?
this is pure speculation but when I think Basketball and Knee Injury Patellar tendiniosis or tendinitis pops righty in my head
That is unfortunate for Ward.
It is beginning to seem like this tournament is cursed.
Not too bothered, the over all tourney winner will come from the other fights anyway unless ward is allowed to butt his way to victory for the entire super 6 series
No....... Guuted about this. Was looking forward to seeing Ward again......
4-6 weeks is not too much of a postponement, I am not too gutted neither worried for the moment.
It's bad news for sure.. I didn't give Green a chance in this one anyways, so it is definetly a drag to have to postpone what is basically a forgone conclusion rather than see Ward move closer to a more significant matchup.. Who was the winner of this one to face anywho, the Dirrel-Abraham winner?
There was no chance this would ever go as planned (don't start fuming Rantcarat, I wish it had worked but it was obvious it would not).Quote:
