Kessler v Ward moving pictures

Kesslers jab and footwork weren't there, and he couldn't pull the trigger. He clearly was rusty.

 

I think it's more of a case that he wasn't warmed up properly, if anything.

That and there's certain things you can't get away with on the highest level (such as backing straight up whenever your opponent throws anything).

I think Kessler wasn't prepared for the handspeed of Ward overall. It's not the kind of loss he can't bounce back from easily but it's going to take some practice to not let this happen again.
