    Why would Ward need to intentionally butt a fighter he was beating in literally every aspect of the game?

    Did you miss the posts about the holding and the ref only stepping in once ward was done throwing?

    Yes or a no will do

    By the way I don't know why he butted him, maybe to make sure he had every advantage going? The ref seemed to miss every one, somehow.

    Kessler just laid there on the inside and let Ward tee off. You can't rely on the ref to come in and break a clinch up just because you don't want to fight on the inside. Kessler was doing the majority of the holding early and that established him as the culprit in the refs eyes.

    I'm a huge Kessler fan, but he lost that fight fairly.

    If that's all you've got then I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you about this. I gave you my reply.

    kessler looked like the one-dimensional stiff robot that he is.

    It's not normal for a fighter to slip or avoid a shot only to get hugged upon as they counter. The ref was pure shit, probably sells sheds or makes spoons for a living.

    Calzaghe was a puzzle Kessler could´nt solve and dam it Ward used the same pieces again.

    What I saw was a Kessler that could not handle WARD, with or without headbutts I was impressed with ward.

    An I hope we wont hear a lot of excurses from Kessler this time, it was just not his night.

    I dont see Kessler win a rematch either, since he dont seem to have learn from the Calzaghe fight I doubt he will be able to do it this time either.

    Unfortunately, that's all I heard in his post-fight interview.

    someone like chad dawson would've done MUCH better than Kessler did.

    dawson actually knows how to in-fight and counter with shots that PBF would raise an eyebrow at.

    kessler is so goddamn overrated.

    I also rate Tarver as a pundit very good and I think he made a valid point, I think Kessler under estimated Ward a great deal, I dont think he expected that at all. Would it of made a difference no but I still think Kessler thought he wouls show up and beat the less experienced guy.

    I didnt see it the live steam I used cut it off at the point, glad I didn´t´pay 100$ for the event

    he held me, the ref didnt stop him from holding me, he headbutted me on purpose, ref was a hometown ref, he called him something like 'home judge-referee'
