What shocks me though is that so many people have come on here claiming that the headbutts where intentional. C'mon people, what fight where you watching? Ward was awesome last night. He put on a clinic. He didn't run, he backed Kessler up on numerous occasions and beat the crap out of him. Seriously, if the doctor hadn't stopped it I could have seen the fight being stopped by the referee because he was starting to take some big shots. C'mon guys, give Ward credit, that was totally impressive.
the headbutts were hardly a case of their heads meeting whilst engaging, ward was leading with the head, especially the butt that caused the fight ending cut, kesslers head was stationary and ward just pushed his head in kesslers face...

no excuses though, kessler was getting schooled, he couldnt handle wards movement and didnt really have time to set his feet
