    What are you talking about? He didn't continue ****. He fought most of that fight from the southpaw stance. It is NOT uncommon for southpaws and conventional fighters to clash heads. People have blown this headbutting **** completely out of proportion. It was TWO unintentional headbutts, yet somehow way too many jackasses counted NINE or some crazy **** like that. 85% of ESB picked Kessler to beat Ward, EASILY. Ward made a LOT of people look stupid. Now, the excuses fly, instead of giving credit where credit is due. The headbutting was strictly incidental, and maybe if Kessler was punching instead of standing around, it might not have happened. Then again, what would everybody's excuse be then?

    I read a gem last night here on ESB: "I'm glad Abraham hit him while he was down, I got sick of Dirrell with all that ***** running".

    These pricks are not boxing fans.

    Amen to that. That is a very MMA-like attitude. If boxing dies and MMA grows, it is yet one more example of how each generation gets dumber and dumber, less patient, and more reliant on "gratification now". I think the term "Sweet Science" is an outdated one amongst most fans.

    Exactly. More like street-fight-like attitude.

    Like it was about some bums fighting on the sidewalk or something. Pathetic attitude indeed.

    i believe you.

    he was really beating kessler, boxing him beautifully. Those headbutts were a mere distraction, and annoying. I guess commenting on that was only a response to Ward being a nice guy.

    BTW, Ward is the type of boxer who could adapt against varying styles. On his way to being the best. Hope he doesn't idolize 'Nard too much.

    Hold up, you are talking about Arthur Abraham on Dirrell? When was Dirrell dirty? You can excuse what Abraham did? You think he didn't mean it?

    I usually take notice of what you post because I'm a huge Lomachenko fan aswell and I have Russian/Ukranian ancestory. If you're saying what I think you're saying then you are a ****ing moron of the highest order.

    I didn't realize that I pretty much repeated exactly what you just said two minutes earlier. Common knowledge I guess.
