Mikkel Kessler: "Ward should probably learn to fight outside his country sometimes"

Kessler should probably learn how not to get the **** beaten out of him when he fights against Andre Ward.

 

Kessler cant fight in the inside.He cant adapt.Thats why he lost to the better man this night.Ward will beat him again to take the wbo belt

 

O-v-e-r-r-a-t-e-d

 

Well. Yes and no. Ward is ok, but hard to know how good he would be without the illegal stuff.

 

Europeans gladly go there to fight because they make more money.

How much of an advantage do you think there is to fighting in your own country?
Especially a place like America that has ex-pat communities from all over the world.
Froch will probably have more support than Ward when he fights in America.

 

Kessler is a C+ fighter that beat a bunch of C fighters. He was schooled by a prospect.

Looks like its back to cab drivers for the ole viking.

 

At least Kessler fought Ward, whereas Dirrell didn't.

And who knows how badly Dirrell would get schooled? (I personally think it'd be a close contest, but I thought so of Kessler-Ward aswell...)

Dude Kessler was hugely outboxed by Ward.

Headbutts or no headbutts, Kessler was beaten pillar to post.

Kessler himself said "the better man won".

MOVE ON!

 

Rubbish. Kessler said many times that this was a farce. Which obviously it was.

Goosen etc. used every means in the book for this fight.

Having a press conference. Kessler showed up in a t-shirt... Surprise, it was outside! And Goosen kept talking and talking. And on and on. They also completely spoiled the warm up before the fight.

In the fight Ward had obviously planned to head-but when necessary and the ref knew the deal.

Kessler said after the fight: This was unfair, I am not used to fighters being allowed to hold and hit, hit on break, and head-but". Since then he has said many times in interviews that what happened that night was not boxing.

Froch and several other fighters have said the same. That Ward was fouling Kessler all night.

This is why Froch says that if ward gets dirty again Carl will retaliate if the ref doesn't do anything like he didn't in the Kessler fight.

Kessler is not used to guys who fight back. Because he's built his career on beating average fighters like Beyer, Andrade and Mundine.


No head movement, no right hand, robotic style, cant fight on the inside. Saw this schooling coming a mile away.

 

The USA boxing scene is not huge anymore. It has grown elsewhere though. Germany, England, even small countries like Denmark and Canada have more success in promoting the sport.

 

:deal

Kessler received a boxing lesson. That was not competitive. Even before the headbutts, Kessler was looking stupid by hitting nothing but air at 2 feets distance.
