Honestly i have no problem with a guy doing that sporadically, like to offset his opponents rhythm or survive a barrage of punches. Guys like John Ruiz on the other hand **** me off.
I'll be honest it did annoy me at certain times but Ruiz had no real offense, just hugging. Ward on the other hand had established his offense, and before Kessler could get into rhythm he would clinch to mess him up. The headbutts did **** me off though.
He clinched on average every ten seconds mate it was a travesty and one of the worse referring displays ever
What a joke this situation is. One of the best boxer's around sitting on the shelf. Happens to the best of them
He must be beating the **** out of his wife to make up for it I heard his even more frustrated that his kids aren't tall enough to headbutt yet, poor guy
That's crazy. Ward can fight at all ranges I've seen him do it on numerous occasions. To act as if all he does is hold and butt is crazy. Did you not see his fight with Froch? He dominated him and didn't hold or butt.
If you're going with that logic then I guess Tyson, Ali, Witherspoon and many others are to blame for signing with King or terrible/corrupt promoters as well.
He did hold a lot in the froch fight lmfao That's how bad ward fans are getting when he doesn't hold so much that he should be dq'd after 3 rounds it means his fighting clean lmfao
Look I'm a Froch fan, but Ward beat him fair and square and it was a good fight. People like you just hate to give credit where it's deserved. I want Froch to get a rematch with Ward and I think it should be in Wembley Stadium.
He should have still got at least one point deduction for holding in that ight, but I suppose that's great by wards standards
