It was a whole lot of one and a tiny bit of the other. He had some tricks up his sleeve on the inside but he absolutely schooled him. Ward could have fought the whole fight like he did in the first 2 rounds, only change it up occasionally, and won nearly every round of the fight. Ward went out and on the outside, where Kessler is at his absolute best, shut him down, outquicked him and didn't let him get set to punch.

Where was Kessler's vaunted right hand? The one that Edison Miranda landed so well against Ward? Shut down, did he land a single one? It was in fact a masterclass and the scorecards are evidence of it. A bit dirty, not always the prettiest but Ward essentially won every minute of that fight. A masterclass on the best fighter of the tournament.

Absolutely spot on desciption. Ward was Mayweather like last night. Even Roy Jones like. I was so impressed. For me, a star was born last night.
