I don't know Dirrell looks great outside, on the inside hes not very good, Ward has an excellent inside game, Dirrell also looks a little weak
He was getting completely schooled throughout in a 1 sided fight before the eye shut, was the eye shut from the punches or the butt? Either way Ward was making it look easy
Kessler is a very good puncher, he had Calzaghe hurt, stopped Beyer with 1 shot Either way Kessler is certainly more accurate, faster and more compact with his shots. We'll see when they fight next time anyway
Ward was winning easy before and after, what round did Kessler lose his eye sight, before the first bell because he got schooled then on in. Kessler simply isnt in Wards league, neither is Froch You're not going to see a more dominant performance than that in a world title fight
I'm actually fairly suprised by the amount of people making excuses for Kessler in that fight. I mean it was clear that Ward had the better of him from the first minute of the fight on. If it was a fairly even fight and then a cut or a head but changed everything then maybe I could see this arguement but Kessler didn't look good from the out set. Thats not to say that he's not a good fighter but Ward just schooled him. He's an olympic Gold medalist and often these type of fighters end up fighting the top dog for there first tittle fight and making him look bad. Just look at Chad dawson vs Adema. Similar fighters with similar styles. No one's going to say Ademak's a bad fighter just cause he lost to Dawson. Sometimes these things just happen in boxing.
