Dan Goossen wins decision over Andre Ward, who was trying to
break contract  Super middleweight champion Andre Ward’s attempt
to break free from promoter Dan Goossen failed when the
California State Athletic Commission on Friday ruled in
Goossen’s favor following a special meeting Tuesday.  Ward had
been trying to get out of his contract in part because he said
Goossen did not want to attend a meeting called by Ward for
himself,  manager James Prince, co-promoter Antonio Leonard and
Goossen and HBO executives. Prince suggested Goossen wanted to
be the only one talking to HBO about Ward’s next fight.  In
Ward’s mind, Goossen was hindering his return to the ring after
he had shoulder surgery in January. Ward has not fought since
last September, when he stopped Chad Dawson in the 10th round in
Ward’s hometown of Oakland.  Ward, who has been promoted by
Goossen his entire pro career, is 26-0 with 14 knockouts. He is
considered the No. 2 pound-for-pound fighter in the world in
most polls. He is 29.   Twitter Faceb
