It has plenty of bearing. Kessler was favored over Ward in their fight. Kessler and Abraham were supposed to be locks for the finals
Wlad refused ped tests if they were not conducted by his own German testing company. Accidental head clashes happen in boxing and it was one fight in Wards career. Theres nothing accidental about Wlads consistent fouling he does in every fight against small guys who can do nothing about it. Lmfao at you calling out Ward on sportsmanship when Wlad jumps all over guys backs to drain the life out of them because he is too useless to step in the ring and box. Wlad and his fans like you are an utter disgrace to this sport.
If as a boxer you take a hard headbutt that can really end the fight for you. Watch son of headbutts fight with Kessler again.
Kessler was the champion, but he is the one who had to travel to SOB Ward's home town. Kessler had to fight SOB, his referee, judges, boxing commission. So, SOB started headbutting from round one, elbows, etc., then the headbutt that stopped Kessler came from across the ring as Ward was in BILLY GOAT mode, even the commentators mentioned that it was an intentional headbutt. Any other referee would have disqualified Ward, but Ward appeared to know that his personal referee would always protect him no matter how dirty he fought.............Ward won by INTENTIONAL, ILLEGAL HEADBUTT!
Jack Reiss from Valencia, California will be the third man in the ring on Saturday in Ontario, California for Andre Ward vs. Edwin RodrÃguez (24-0, 16 KOs). The three judges are Max Deluca from Tustin, California; Jerry Cantu from Westminster, California; and Steve Morrow, from Hollister, California. Prediction: lots of deliberate fouling by Andre Ward which will be permitted by Jack Reiss, the same ref who worked the Kessler-Ward fight.
It doesn't have anything to do with race you halfwit. "Well, these guys don't like my favorite fighter, it is because they're racist!!", typical fan boy delusion, the Klittards are also pulling the race card all the time, but what they fail to realize is that their heroes are cheaters, quitters, glass jawed gimps and power abusing crooks. I don't dislike Ward because he is half black or half Mexican or whatever, I dislike him because he is a boring, cheating, stay at home disgrace.
