Ward Green postponed, Ward has knee injury..

[skel1983]

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

[amat]

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.

Ah this sucks. I was really looking forward to this. I just hope it stays in Oakland so i can watch Andre again.

I think Fensters Prediction of this event not ending is not out of the question.

Definitively not...

[killersheep]

This sucks, knee injuries never fully go away. After such a great performance against Kessler, he could fall from grace quickly if his knee doesn't fully heal.

Does anyone know more details?

[Truth]

this is pure speculation but when I think Basketball and Knee Injury Patellar tendiniosis or tendinitis pops righty in my head

[Hulk]

That is unfortunate for Ward.

It is beginning to seem like this tournament is cursed.

[HattonTheHammer]

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

[TheMacMagician]

No....... Guuted about this. Was looking forward to seeing Ward again......

[Nameless]

4-6 weeks is not too much of a postponement, I am not too gutted neither worried for the moment.

[p4pking]

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).

Ward probably wants out of the SS. Now he has a title there are more lucrative fights for him than Dirrell and Green
