Kessler and Froch need to rematch for the right to fight Ward. Also..ahem. "The better man won on the night"-Mikkel Kessler after the Andre Ward fight
Ward had two learning fights abroad You're comparing that to Calzaghe defending his world title away from home. Also Calzaghe fought in America twice. Ward has yet to travel in a world title fight which Calzaghe did
Hold on a sec. Calzaghe fought Will friggin McIntyre in Denmark Mario "the most padded record in the history of boxing" Veit in Germany. A 5 years past prime Jones in America. The only notible win the guy has abroad is against Hopkins! How many world title fights did Calzaghe have before he travelled? The guy was in his mid 30s before he ever travelled for a meaningful fight! Ward has only had 26 fights and hes 28,and hes fought twice outside of America, hes already miles ahead of Calzaghe! Even though hes American and the NO.1 in the division and as such doesnt really have to travel

A lot of gay Ward loving idiots on here tonight. It's irrefutable that this guy for all his skill (albeit boring skill) has NO guts, will NOT take risks and needs EVERYTHING advantage wise set up to make him feel comfortable. No matter what his small band of boyfriends think most boxing fans know this is the case
I guess it takes boring skill, no guts and taking no risks to become an Olympic Gold Medalist and an undefeated champion :nut
Oh is that so. Kessler said afterwards that he got headbutted 5 times and hit by elbows constantly. Besides - he said he couldnt se a thing after the fourth round and that Ward was the dirtiest fighter he has ever faced. AND Kesler said that the ref allowed Ward to get away with it. Deal with that.
Kessler got stopped by cuts after headbutts. And he couldnt see straight after being head butted 4-5 times in the opening rounds. Its obvious that Kessler should get a rematch, but economy is the decisive factor. Not rational thinking.
Please -- the real truth is Kessler got caught wrapping his hands illegally and got his ass handed to him.. Head butts happen in boxing no getting around it .. Kessler is a pro he should learn to deal with head but, it seem he could do so after being told he could not load his wraps.. I guess at home they allow this kind of **** which why he been able to KO so many of his victims at home.
