Ward also had a tune-up
I have read that Showtime are planning a double-header with Ward. Two tune ups.

I'm guessing they'd use these fights as a promo night for the tourney.

Why no warm ups? I'd rather see both guys sharp and ready then have excuses pouring out afterwards. The winner won't be determined until 2011, we have time.

If I read the article carefully too, Kessler would be now of team Sauerland...

We really wanted to promote Mikkel´s first fight as a member of our team,” he said. “We will announce the date and the venue soon.” Other bids were presented by Universum Box-Promotion and Team Palle. Possible dates and places of winning bid"

This tournament is really a good thing for sport, I wish Bute would have accepted to get in it too tough I imagine he'll face some of these boxers in a close future if he gets (and I believe and hope he will) pass Andrade.
