    Hopefully Ward abandons these tactics, or at least uses them less frequently.

    He doesn't need them he is a top skilled fighter

    Aren't you a Joshua Clottey fan? Let's not discuss headbutts.

    Yea....it was dirty. And the ref was biased. Reminded me of Hatton-Tszyu. He got away with a lot of things with the help of the ref. Good win that is some what tarnished.

    The head butts were not intentional. Every time Ward went low, he would go to tie MK up on the inside. He did this throughout the entire fight. Kessler always stood his ground with the exception of a few times. But, by doing so, he allowed Ward's forward and upward momentum to cause the clash of heads. That's boxing.

    Sounds more like a good win that YOU are trying to tarnish.

    Ward headbutts were accidental. His defesive game plan involved ducking and jumping in to smother punches and this caused the clash of heads. And yes, he does hold but like i said its part of his defense and the reason he hardly got hit the entire fight. This is a fight not ballroom dancing so some of you bitches need to stop crying about it. The fight was a virtual shutout.

    not commenting on it or a ref not acting on it doesn't mean they didn't see it, it was hard not to see, these fouls, and they were going on the throughout the fight

    Bull****. Half of the holding was initiated by Kessler who was then completely flummoxed when Ward continued to punch him while he held on to one of Wards arms. The story of this fight is Kessler's complete inability to adjust in any way to ANYTHING Ward did.

    Please.

    point out the dirty tactics from the Cotto fight? There were none.

    The headbutt that caused the punch was obviously accidental because Clottey was throwing punches when it happened.

    Ward on the other hand lead with the CROWN of his head like a ram threw no punches to cause a cut on Kessler.

    And this is not the first fight, watch the Miranda fight if you want to see rounds full of elbow shivers and foreams to the face, its like UFC.
