The one dimentional Kessler was exposed by a 20 fight novice , takes away the shine of a certain Mr Calzaghe's best win dont you think guys ?
Ward was lucky not to be DQed. The headbutt that opened up the cut that ultimatley ended the fight was vicous and deliberate.
Ward was comfortably winning the fight and then resorted to illegal tactics to ensure that Kessler had no possible way of getting back into the fight; he had to fight the second half of the fight blind in one eye after another headbutt. I swear the guy thinks he's Evander Holyfield!
People, like Antonio Tarver, who think that Ward should have been awarded three points are wrong headed and simply do not wish to follow the rules of the sport. The fight was stopped due to an accidental headbutt and therefore goes to the scorecards; the only argument I have with this us the use of the word 'accidental'.

Despite all the Hype Kessler has again shown he is unable to adapt.
Ward was the better man that night.
But perhaps anywhere else in the world would have been DQd because of continious intentional headbutting, running head first into the opponent
Ward has the best headbutt I have ever seen. Holding, low blows, and what headbutts?! They are much better than any headbutt Holyfield ever had

I've seen the match from the third round and I have very mix feelings:
I don't see why a Referee allows so many clinches, headbutts and doesn't do a wuut about it. On the other hand and despite of that, Ward was looking strong with a peppering and very accurate jab while Kessler's normally killer jab looked like it was lacking power and sharpness. I think that Ward is better than what I thought but that doesn't excuse the very weird job the ref did. Would it have allowed Kessler to win if he would have done things rightfully? I don't know and it is speculation but I think that at least, it could have been a closer match otherwise.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
Remember that Mikkels dream fight was Hopkins, after what I saw he is lucky that never came true. I support Kessler but he has one obvius flaw, he is it not able to adapt. I saw it against Calzaghe, Kessler said he had a bad hand, and I gave him credit for it. But Ward used all the advantages he had, I would say he fought dirty, but that is part of the game when it not your own backyard![]()
Now we all know the game plan of Froch and Taylor now![]()
Besides Kessler and Saurland accepted the refs, so I dont think they should biaatch about that either.
I hope Kessler learns from this fight as well, but as it stands he is the only one that was blasted away in the first round. I know Taylor got a bad KO, but I thought he did pretty good up till that point.
Froch is now a bigger challenge, lets see how Kessler handles that one now.
And I think its time Kessler finds a new coach for inspiration & development. Its not the same guy, I saw Ward make mistakes Kessler should have punished but his hardest punches was the big holes in the air, that made him look stupid(did I write that)
come on Kessler you are still the best Danish boxer![]()

i'm gonna be honest i didn't see the fight and was shocked to read on Yahoo Sports that Ward won, but i'm more shocked to see so many people on here who praised Froch for doing "more" to earn the decision now are bitching about Ward fighting dirty, seeing how the only thing Froch did was hit air and land rabbit punches all night, pretty ridiculous if you ask me
A headbutt to the cheekbone caused the first cut in round two.Ward was headbutting in every round
Kessler said to his trainer between round 3-4 "I can not see anything"
It is extremely hard to fight a dirty fighter and tonight was ward`s worst night when it comes to dirty tactics and the reff allow him to do all the dirty tricks

honestly... how many of the people claiming the headbutts were intentional watched this fight on a >300kbps internet stream?
i have SHOWTIME and watched it on my TV...
the headbutts werent anywhere near blatant![]()
I did say that Ward might trouble Kessler being that hes not gonna just stand there and trade with him, the southpaw stance and the holding just took any slight momentum Kessler might have picked up.
I knew the fuucking ref would ruin the fight!! Kessler shouldnt have let Ward clinch and butt, he shouldve been able to step back and drop in those right hands but didnt.
Ward might just be able to stink his way to the top now, hes going to ruin what could have been an exciting tournament with his negative style.
The ref should have been taking points away for the holding, making ard think twice about doing it, either that or just throw the little cuunt out, if he cant fight by the rules!!
I see a lot of sour grapes about on here...I did only see 2 butts. 1 in which Kessler brought Ward in and I believe cut the left and then the last one which was pretty nasty, but by no means intentional. Ward by that point had outclassed Kessler. He never got into a rhythm. I watched it on a stream admittedly, there were hundereds of people in the chat, none of them complaining about the butts until one of the announcers said he had seen 5 butts. I did not see them except the 2.
I am definitely going to d/l and watch it again, but for someone who picked Ward to win this tourney from the beginning. I am pretty happy with the result. I find it funny that a fight doesn't go some peoples way and all of a sudden he is over the hill blah blah blah.
McGirt recalling the minute break between the 9th round of the Ward fight "He said, 'Help me stand up and I'll finish the fight.'"
Ward fought a very good fight, He confused Kessler with his mixed attack with either fighting on the backfoot boxing or coming forward in quick bursts.
He also discouraged Kessler with his work on the inside and in the clinches.
Ward's headbutts were completely unintentional also.
People just need to deal with the fact that Ward is better than Kessler.
Wow awesome night!!! Me and the wife are stayin over in Oakland and goin to the raider game so I haven't seen the fight on tv yet so I can't really comment yet fairly. But from what we saw ward beat that man's ass yet added in a lot of unecessary holding and butting and stuff and I'm still not really sure why. He still would've beat him easy I think. Man kessler sure looked scary as shit before the fight. I started to almost feel sorry for ward. But ward looked so calm. Sorry for any bad writing can only get a signal outside and I &@$" freaking freezing. This game looks like a bad idea and I'm almost out of smoke....
