Ward showed the world a side of him that none of us knew he had...

and that is...imo a 'I don't care about you/killer instinct'.

I thought the man was going to dance, jab, and use the ring the entire fight like he did against Miranda, but Ward must have felt Kessler's power early, must have grabbed or held him a certain way, or hit him with a good shot or something because in boxing, the minute you feel like you're stronger than your opponent, your style changes. Ward out boxed Miranda by moving and hitting. Last night, Ward stood flat footed, body punched, fought on the inside, and took chances. A great all around performance by Ward

Kessler was a step behind the whole fight, and when I heard him complain about the butts, and saw his post fight interview, imo he sounded like a crybaby. Soem fighters go in looking to butt a guy, not Ward. None of the butts were on purpose. The very first butt if memory serves was by Kessler which was not on purpose. Ward was kicking his ass before the butts, and he continued to kick his ass. At times Kessler fought hard, but Ward was ready for any and everything from Kessler.

Ward's amateur pedigree has helped him tremendously, and imo Ward might be the only man who has a chance against Abraham.

Did Ward and Abraham benefit from learning/fighting an aggressive fighter in Miranda...imo yes. They are both better fighters today!

 

He was straight up reckless a few times last night. I think he knew he had Kessler spooked.

 

Oh no lol... I'm wrong, you're right I guess lol...

 

Sorry Nall,
But I didn't see the Kessler Ward fight the way you did.
Ward was fighting incredibly dirty.

I remember alot of the American's on here complaining about Hatton's fans complaining that Cortez didn't let Hatton fight his style.... with the American fight fans sayin "Hatton's style is illegal". What did Ward do differently?

Oh yeah, Ward also stiff armed numerous times and each and every round he would duck below Kessler's waist. My advice is this.... try that: if you spar give your opponent the instructions to do what Ward did.... to duck low and spring into clinches. It's very hard to deal with. There's nothing to hit, and if you do hit something it's going to be a meaningless punch.

 

Nobody fights a perfect fight, not even the best...and I never saw Ward get reckless like Bernstein said he was. Ward knew he had Kessler, and kept the pressure on him by throwing punches coming forward. Ward threw a straight right hand left hook combo. What's the difference between PAc's straight left hand right hook? Nothing lol... They land!

 

Nah, he really did jump in face first a few times. Somewhere around the sixth or seventh he winged a series of really crazy hooks, but Kessler was too slow/ out of it to see the openings and counter.

Of course, Kessler threw that barroom style right that missed by about ten feet at around the same point. Someone needs to .gif that sh*t... :rofl

 

You saw this fight from a biased point of view my friend. I love fighters of all countries, and nobody saw Ward fight dirty. The way Ward ducked in to avoid shots did cause 2 butts, but Kessler also butted early in the fight-the first butt. None were on purpose though. Ward was kicking Kessler's ass before the first butt was delivered.

 

:rofl

 

:roflatsch:hi:

No you ****ing dont you racist *****.

 

Everyone saw Hatton fight Floyd dirty. Because nobody likes Floyd, the shitted on a great ref. Hatton came in with premeditated ideas about fighting Floyd dirty. Ward came in thinking I'm more skilled than Kessler. When you accuse a fighter who is not dirty of fighting dirty, it's kind of sad to me. Ward didn't need to butt Kessler to win.

 

I'm really surprised you even showed your face here considering your hero is a ****in coward lol... If anyone is a bigot here, it's YOU!

 

All anyone has to do is look at a thread you've visited regarding Cotto (PR), Pacman (Philipino), or any white or mexican fighter to know that you are the biggest troll on this forum. Your entire agenda is to hype any black fighter while pushing down others. Believe me, enough people on here will never forget your rant where you said Pac will never be considered great because he didnt beat a black man... I can't believe you still have an account to be honest.

 

point blank ward was kesslers daddy last night...he was supposed to be the stronger guy and spanked at his own game.....headbutts happen you foreigners should know about dirty tactics...stop being ****ing crybabies cuz an American whupped that boys ass last night....kessler was shocked at the speed and pop andre ward...that left hooker-cut jab was doing him dirty the whole night...his offense was horrible...luckily he has a decent defense cuz ward would of knocked his ass out....

 

Head butts or not Ward kicked his ass. In boxing sometimes things get rough and a little dirty but you either man up or cry about it. MK said the ref let ward hit and hold and he was not use to that. It's called infighting and he got took to school. The ref was right because you are allowed and encouraged to punch yourself out of clinches.

 

NALLEGE: The most important thing I was impressed with was Ward's Stamina, he seemed just as strong in the 10th as he seemed in the 1st round and he had a touch of Hopkins to his style last night, he got off well on Kessler on the inside and in my opinion all of these whiners on here who complain about headbutts were the same people who did not find any problem in Froch hitting Dirrell at the back of the head so those people are just hypocrites. Ward spanked Kessler and I am glad because all of these guys on here were licking Kessler's bum cheeks everyday, talking about him like he was some unbeatable force. Ward spanked that ass.
