    Ward won, get over it.

    Mikkel "son of ward" Kessler should be thinking long and hard about his next fight because he just lost to a green guy.

    No. The headbutts were unfortunate but I dont think intentional. He tied up when he needed to, loads of Pros do it, and it wasnt excessive. If you're complaining about the hitting on the inside, then you're just sore.

    Yeah Ward did cheat, but weak of Kessler that he has to rely on a fair challenger and ref.

    Yeah, I don't know who the **** Kessler thinks he is to think that the ref and his opponent would at least abide by the rules.

    Cheat or not. Ward relied too heavily on holding. It just doesn't look good and therefore I was disappointed with the fights entertainment value. Holding was a way to big part of Wards tactics. Also, Kessler showed he has learned little from the bout with Calzaghe. Kessler has to learn to use/abuse the regulations far more when he is up against the "Hopkins"-school.

    Why should a fighter rely on an official to do his job properly. You`re talking lot of sense. Jack Reiss now where does he come from...............mmm :huh

    No. FACT = Kessler had the bottle to travel to America to fight an American with an American referee officiating and what happened.............they both shafted him. :-(

    Ward would have beat that ass regardless, Kessler is an overrated robot. That being said, the Americans on here that think that Ward's win over Kessler automatically means that Ward would defeat Calzaghe are just as deluded as the whining Kessler fans. Calzaghe is a different animal altogether.
