Ward Outpoints Kessler!!!!!

[piye]

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

[Nameless]

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.

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
