    I'd back that statement up...but my thread/post history and tonight's fight speak for themselves. And now, time for the excuses to fly.

    So I take it this wasn't a good win for Ward...

    That's pretty sad, man. He just won a world title against a seemingly good fighter.

    It's hard to gauge how good someone beyond just looking good until doing so against a significant amount of consistently high level competition

    This applies to gauging both of these specific fighters

    This is what gets me. You can't have it both ways. Give tons of credit (he probably does), then call the other fighter garbage. :patsch

    Kesslers solid. Just never had good trainers to get rid of his flaws.

    Did Ward even break a sweat?

    I thought the scores were quite generous. And here everybody was thinking Ward was going to get all this hometown cookin'. So many folks here were so sure that Kessler was going to TKO Ward late. Kessler is the one who faded late. This fight was so easy to predict that it makes me wonder about the boxing IQ of the majority of poster here.

    As long as you are consistent, thats all I'm saying. Ward's beaten a chump and Miranda, just stick with that until he does something that impresses you.

    I've seen him do much better than both of those fights in sparring. You TFFP, are one of the few Kessler backers that can still show up shamelessly, as you were one of the few who were reasonable and did not run their mouth before the fight.

    Good for you. I'm talking about in how you perceive his achievements. He's only beat Miranda and some chump at this point.

    kessler is a good fighter. just not great. i think ward was levels above hiim before this fight but he needed to prove it. and he did. kessler still has a chance at this tournament but he needs to adapt a little more.

    he did only beat miranda but the potential was there. the question wasnt if he had the tools because we knew ward did. the question was would he able to showcase them on a huge stage against a favored fighter who is an above average fighter? and he did
