The betterquestions we should be asking-is if they were to fight again in the final...what would kessler do differently? because surely he could perform much better than that..
he mentioned after the fight, something about getting that fuzzy feeling in the eye, when he got headbutted.
i wonder if the OP is implying that ward wouldve lost if it weren't for the cuts?? now kesslar fans are gonna start using the infamous "lewis-klitschko" argument, despite of the fact kessler was trailing terribly behind the scorecards leading up to the head-butt.
Did Kessler ever consider actually punching Ward in the face? He had 12 rounds to do it and barely ever did. It wasn't because he was blind, or butted or held or anything else. It's because Kessler couldn't. Ward beat his ass, badly. I was rooting for Kessler the whole fight, but it's the truth. He got schooled.
Thats exactly what I was thinking...Even if they would have taken a point...That still wouldnt change the outcome...Kessler got his ass handed to him!:yep
couldent have said it any better myself,but u lefted out he got exposed as well,but other then that....:good
I dont think so. But who knows (and cares). Ward clearly looked alot faster and he would most likely have won by UD. All Im saying is that the fight probably would have been different without the headbutting. Its quite obvious when you rewatch it.
He was getting his ass thrashed before the fouls occured...So how did the headbutts change the outcome of the fight?:?
I disagree. He wasnt "getting his ass thrashed". He was behind on the scorecards. with 3-1. And then the fight changed. Get your perception right, dude.
I'd say the butts were unintentional... but still played a factor in the fight in that they helped to hurt, frustrate and mentally rattle Kessler and get him totally off his game. Well,,, that and the fact that Ward completely dominated him in every other area as well.
the ACTUAL scorecards differ from your kessler fanboy scorecards. he didn't win a single round, and if your gonna bring up those whopping number of two right hands he landed you might as well just leave with what dignity you have left. google andre ward, your gonna see "ward destroys kessler" or "ward outclasses kessler" as headlines numerous times. why is that the world sees kessler got destroyed yet your the only one that sees it was competitive?
