You come across as one of those lads that would be better of following MMA or wrestling for that matter. Clinching and holding is NOT great boxing.
Fixed your post: "Never said he was. Still another guy that beat Kessler by turning the ref into his own."
Kessler got his ass kicked. The guy was overrated from the jump. He's menatlly weak and got exposed. The Cobra will repeat what Ward did to him but worse.
Yea cause the ref used his amazing unhuman supernatural powers to render Kessler of his so called "boxing skills" causing Ward to look like the more skilled fighter in the ring and completely outbox and humiliate Kessler.
I think Ward said afterwards that he felt he owned Kessler from rnd. 11. Exactly when the dope from Conte kicked in! Halleluja Brother!:good
It hurts me to say but Ward was winning that fight without his headbutting and clinching. What annoys me more is Kesslers prep upto fight night... i mean jesus the guy didnt even spar southpaws and was as rusty as ****. Kessler can only blame himself
One thing is certain...nothing Kessler did in that fight could be considered great boxing. It would be generous to call it boxing at all, really.
:good Agreed. Kessler wasn't at his best. Ward didn't need 2 hold & clinch excessively (which makes it even more annoying).
A lot of immaturity on ESB. As soon as someone says anything slightly negative about a boxer they like(fancy), people resort to name calling & labelling top boxers as bums. Debate like adults ffs.
Kessler got whooped, no doubt, but fair and square? Stop making excuses you guys!! FFS man up and admit it, Ward kicked his ass but used a lot of dirty **** to achieve his goal.
In watching Kessler's fights I noticed that Kessler got use to fighter that ran away once he went on the attack. Ward stood his ground and that is what caused the headbutts. I dont recall a great amount of holding, this is something that was added later as kessler fans was cring foul, just like all the elbows that they claimed Ward throw. Kessler was above his head in that fight, he was fighting a guy that was a nightmare for him stylewise and will always be. Headbutts have nothing to do with Kessler not being able to land punches. Its just like the Cotto fans that cant see that even if Margo had stones in his gloves it didnt make him be able to take all the shots that Cotto was landing and walk right though them. Funny thing to me is many of the fans bitching about this fight are the very ones that defended Froch for his fight with Dirrell. Funny how that works.
