yes, he was beating kessler at first. but the dirty tactics and the dodgy ref never allowed kessler to get into the fight. he could have ? but he didn't did he ?
Ward is a badass no doubt! :good He already has a bunch of haters, which is typical when you're as badass as Ward.
OK, lets turn this around. Watch round 3. Is there anything in this round that leads you to believe that Kessler was likely to stage some sort of a comeback -- or make an adjustment? He fails to land a single decent punch, while Ward is nailing him i nthe body and face repeatedly. Look at 2:25. No head butts. Just Ward punching Kessler cleanly in the face from close range.

Just let it go man...These Eurofags wont give Ward his due...Had he been a european, they'd be all over his balls.
I like Ward and he will be P4P number 1 within a few years but Froch has had a tougher run of fights.
To be a bad ass he needs to show that the`s not afraid to fight outside Oakland! Beating another fighter on HIS hometurf infront of a hostile crowd.. Thats bad ass!
What I saw in that video is 22 CLINCHES/HOLDS initiated by Ward in a 6:00 minute span for absolutely NO REASON without ONE warning from the referree. So if the fight went on for the full 12 the average holding/clinching by Ward is a total of 132 holds/Clinches initiated by ONE fighter? Holding like that puts Bernard Hopkins to shame! LOL! BADASS??????:rofl
But still he insist on having all his fights on his hometurf, while the other fighters in the tournament needs to do travel, Kid:roll:
