I would love to praise Ward, but..

Come on, dude...there were several times they came together innocently enough, but in rounds 8 and 10 the dude was a ram. You saw those replays.

You're above that, man...stupid question. Why wasn't Ward hurt? Well, when the top of your head comes into contact with the face of another man...who's going to take the brunt of the damage? Hmm...

This argument is irrespective of the outcome of the fight, as it was not a determining factor. Kessler looked uncoordinated from the get-go, even for a slow-starter, and Ward was fire.

 

Probably because he was coming forward with them in the replays I've seen and his neck would be more tensed for that contact. I'm not saying whether it was intentional or not, but that would likely be the reason they hurt Kessler more. Along with the fact that once the swelling and cut was there any butt is going to hurt even more.

 

Ward won but those head butts was on purpose. That last won was crazy he should have lost some points the referee sucked. I hate cheaters. Ward looked like Holyfield out there with those headbutts. kessler should have bit his ear off.

 

I still don't think he does it intentionally, it's not like he was actually pay attention to where his head went. He did it all night, he'd duck and move. It's just when Kessler stepped and leaned down that way.. well ****.. it's not like Ward was expecting it.

Not really "dirty" per se, but Ward's style this fight lead to them.

 

In the 8th, it's 50/50, we can give him the benefit of the doubt on that one as he's right - this hasn't been a major issue in his pro career thus far...in the 10th, though? That was ridiculously blatant. And in plain view of the ref, don't know what that boy was thinking. :yep

 

He wasn't thinking, he was ducking and moving.. he was looking down at the time he made contact. I don't think he knew where the **** he was going.

He did that **** all night.. more reckless/careless than malicious.

He's never really been a dirty fighter.

 

You, sir, are one of the few classy posters on this site. :good

 

I think most the headbutts were unintentional, but that one in the 8th sure looked like he ment to do it and it was nasty.

 

Bro, if any one got a concussion during the fight it's you and you better get some help because your ****ed up....

 

I don't doubt the fight would have been closer if the fight were held in Europe. But judging from Ward's dominating performance tonight, the end result would remain an Andre Ward victory.

 

awww, joe has a friend:rofl:rofl

 

Classy. I think that we could all take a lession from you in Class. Its rare that a poster says anything like this after his favorite or one his favorite fighters lose.

You have gained a large amount of respect from me, not that it will make your day or anything:good

 

Amen. Thanks for the post. Very disappointed tonight.
