Should Ward be allowed to pin his opponents with his head?

Did this bother anyone else? I'm surprised the ref didn't call this. He kept pinning Green with his head and using it on Greens face making him worry about his head and not the punches that were coming.

If ward is allowed to do this in all his fight he will stay undefeated. He is very good at it. It just doesn't seem fair.

 

If green could box it wouldn't have mattered.

 

I bet it seemed fair to you when Julio Cesar Chavez did it.:deal

 

Guys do that all the time.. and that's not what kept Green on the ropes.. Green kept Green on the ropes. Stupid to even think that was what kept him on the ropes.. it was just natural with keeping his head down that it would end up there.. it's smart.

 

It's called in-fighting. You're supposed to put your head on the opponent's chest.

 

Have you ever watched Joe Frazier fight?

 

:happy

An honest Latino.

 

or roberto duran? henry armstrong? jake lamotta?

 

Watch what happens when he does this in fighitng in Europe.

 

when two fighters are on the inside, its normal that they battle for haed position. its not a headbutt because there is no "butt"

Green was unable to walk Ward back. Kessler too. Eventually Ward will meet a fighter who walks him back when they clinch in the center and it'll be really interesting.

 

Yes. Green could have shoved him back at least

 

it's ok to barge in with your head but he's lunging in too, imagine the impact if they cleanly clash heads.

 

Let's not put him on sensor overload.

 

Beat me to it.

 

He is great at creating the slight distance he needs for punches. I think he would lower himself, create the quick space, and throw the uppercut while moving off to the side and resetting. I don't think pushing Ward off is the key. You have to have the handspeed to punch with him, and the ability to hurt him whenever you land cleanly.
