He's been tested at the elite level, it just didn't work out for him

I don't think he was ruined coming into this, it was maybe a bad style matchup and maybe Kessler was a little overrated but Ward was underrated, he was after all our only gold medal guy and other amateurs like Dirrell had gotten more of the limelight because Ward looked shaky early on.

Kessler is what he is. A bit one dimensional but that one dimension can be pretty good against a lot of guys.

I didn't love the way he was talking after the fight. Not sure where his head is at the moment, if he's right he handles Froch. If not who knows.
