No problem mate. Your a great poster, and I can see how you could think I'm just overzealous about these things after Haye vs Valuev, but this was special. Kessler, thought to be the best in the division, was spanked..thoroughly. Wow.
97-93 for Ward - about the same as the judges and by far the majority of the press row. Anyone having it a shut-out is just showing their bias - and it is not surprising if the 10-15 most biased people would assemble on ESB - after all that is what ESB is known for. So given that the ref allowed Ward's dirty tactics, Ward won. That doesn't mean we have to condone headbutting and hitting while holding in boxing.
"its early" and "Kessler is getting closer" isn't what I would call giving him props. If anything it implies that he's not landing at all but that he might possibly land in another round.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw all three judges gave one of the rounds to Kessler ...I was like, the dude just got his ass spanked in that round, what the hell were you watching? How long have you been judging fights, Joe?
Exactly! ...They were saying it because he wasn't landing..period. He landed..a few hard shots, but the rest of the round was Ward moving...and bouncing shots of the Dane's big head.
That guy scores 1 round to Kessler and 2 even, and you're licking his nutsack. When I score 3 rounds to Kessler, you make me a thread accusing me of being a nuthugger. wtf?
I scored it 97-93 ward. Im still in shock. I didnt think ward was a bum or anything but i didnt excpect that. And yes, ward did headbutt the **** out of kessler. I dont think all were intentional but some were borderline intentional. Props to ward for being classy about it at the interview when asked about the headbutts. Im pretty sure ward is gonna win this tourney. if not ward, abraham is my second pick.
Your a *******, you get priority. Kidding. He's still talking **** splitting three rounds, but any poster who can stand corrected deserves a little bit of hospitality...most of you lot never do, even when you're proven absolutely wrong. Plus, you are indeed a *******.
Yes, it was great indeed. Too bad the naysayers, detractors, and those who were just plain wrong are looking for any sort of excuse or angle to knock Ward. It's quite pitiful but expected, thus general. I thought Ward would win but by a close decision. We were all pretty much shocked and wrong (Danny got it bang on right I must admit). It was great to see, I really enjoyed the fight. I hope Ward shakes things up and wins this tournament. That would be sweet.
