lol GOOD GRIEF!!!! not another Headbutt Conspiracy Theorist! If you decide to revisit the match and watch all the head clashes in the fight, all of them were mutual and accidental. Even the one where he bulldozed in literally with his head, in the replay, you can actually watch Kessler bend down to the side deep with his head as Ward had already started coming in, and ward blindly rams him. That was accidental too, yes Ward was being careless, BUT preventable by Kessler. There were NO calls for intentional headbutting. Kessler got a broken orbital or something? I definitely dont want him to continue fighting and risk being permanently blind - thats just plain stupid and selfish...
Says the guy who has an avatar of Trinidad, a guy known for lowblows lol. No disrespect to Tito I'm a fan of him but I found this to be quite ironic. Seriously, this Ward hate is ridiculous and boxing is going to be rough regardless so get over it people. Kessler seemed like a cool guy out of the ring and was very good to watch in it. If he does retire at least he can go out knowing he entertained millions with his last fight plus.... he won it! It doesn't get much better than that to end a career. I hope his vision in't going to be like that for the rest of his life but I did find a good vid dedicated to him. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFGSlnr-L1U[/ame]
Headbutters are the worst. That crap is really damaging, as damaging as a fighter with loaded gloves. I bet Holyhead and Ward have inflicted way more damage than anything Margarito did with those supposed wraps. I'm 100% sure of it.
mikkel kessler was a warrior and if he has to retire from this it would be an almighty shame. I hope he returns to boxing. Only if his health allows though. This should be his main priority. He does seem pretty optimistic which is good to see. As for all the ward crap. I cant stand ward. A miniature b-hop with his careless headbutting. But i find it hard to believe he is at fault for this or that he intentionally went in trying to hurt kessler. It was very careless on his part and possibly a tactic to disrupt his opponents but i dont think he intended to cause any real damage. At least i hope so. Most of the collisions seemed accidental enough but we will never know the true intentions of someone. Get well soon mikkel
Kesslers stated, that the eye problems started before the Ward fight. Now Macon his personal trainer could see in his notes, that Kessler had complained about it back then. Between round 4 or 5 vs. Ward, Kessler complained he couldnt see. As i understand the injury, Kessler should be fin again. A muscle in the eye just has to have 9 months rest to rebuild it self, and therefor no fighting or sparring.
lol, you're brutal he's definitely B+/A- class i had kessler beating froch, but it WAS very close I assume you equate Froch to be an average fighter, considering he beat Froch in a close unanimous decision? Kessler's DEFINITELY a likeable man with great, honest class. But make sure that praise is towards him being a man, which is at a higher level than him as a boxer.
