    Great fight by Ward. :happy

    Kessler looked flat and passed his best....or maybe Ward is just that good.

    Ref was crap and Ward knows how to land a headbutt.

    Fight stopped in the 10th due to cuts from head clash.

    Props to Ward the guy can fight :good

    I was wrong....Kess got schooled :patsch

    There were head clashes, but not a single head butt IMO. Big difference. Good job on the humble pie Ash. We've all been there, and will be again!

    Ward was domiinate from the first punch of the fight. Not sure if Kessler was rusty or just outclassed by a guy with great speed and footwork.

    Based on Kessler's career i'd say he was below par tonight. That aside, props to Ward he is the new favourite in my eyes based on all 3 fights to date.

    One thing i will say and that's the headbutts, i think out of the 5 or 6 there was 1 maybe 2 that were intentional from Ward, nevertheless he outclassed the Dane on all other fronts.

    Humble pie for me too.
    I backed Kessler thought he was the man.
    Well done Andre.
    Plenty of fans have been spruiking Ward to win the Super 6
    Looks like they may be on a good thing after this result.

    Yeah mate........head clash cuts stopped the fight and went to the cards...... Ward won 8 rounds to 2 on my cards.....forgot what the official result was.

    The head butts were rulled head clashes so no DQ.

    Lots of head clashes and maybe 2 of the 7 were intentional

    Ward had a good game plan and just smoked Kess. He can easily win the tournament if he pulls back a little on his over excitement inside the ring. There are still plenty of dangerous fights left for him.

    expect any other headclashes in his other bouts to be punished heavily - especially against AA if in europe.

    Ward did what Mundine was suppose to do all those years back.

    Ward is defintely the favourite now. It will give him great confidence heading into the other matches too. I don't like the way he fought the whole time, but he just kept mixing it up and Kessler couldn't do anything about it. Ward brought himself to another level.
