first froch cant give direll his due propers....now kessler makes excuses......these guys are just poor sportsmen or is it just euro cockyness.. i mean cmon....the ref helped ward......do what...punch him in the face. so is it a cultural thing or what
Coming from the nation that spawned Bernard Hopkins, its abit rich! Each continent and nation has sportsmanlike people and not so sportsmanlike people. They are individuals though, and are not a general theme running through the whole populus!
I don't think its a cultural thing because it is only two fighters that displayed poor sportsmanship not the majority of European fighters. But these guys do need to man up, especially Froch.
You should watch more boxing if the fighters in the super 6 are the only European boxers you can name.
He could have congratulated him yeah, but he was pretty pissed about being headbutted 5 or so times which is understandable.
It is how fighters act in these types of situations that show their true colors. Kessler is very classy when he wins but he should have let the fans and the media talk about the headbutts. It made him look like a sore loser.
I lost a little respect for Kessler there, he got his ass handed too him, the butt's weren't his only problem tonight, not by far. Poor sportsmanship by Kess. Take your loss like a man, if the ref doesn't yell break then fight.
What the hell kind of excuse can Kessler really use anyway? The fight wasn't even CLOSE! It was complete domination with ease for Ward. I'd blame it on the speed, reflexes, footwork, ring generalship and experience...not some weak ass accidental headbutt.
There are a lot of poor 'winners' on the other side of the scale. Nuthuggers/haters, its the same thing. When will people realize that...they are cut from the exact same cloth and have the same purpose.
i watch alot of boxing thank you.... and we are talking about the super six......so its no need to bring up anyone else
