Clear clear win for Ward, no doubt about it................ Classic "style make fights": Kessler lost exactly in the same way as vs. Calzaghe. The faster fighter throw first and then hold, clinch or fight at the inside. Kessler looked amateurish in there. Should have trained the last 2 months/2 years to deal with this fighting style. Kessler hasn't approved for years now. After round 2 or 3 they should had shift to plan b, but did they have a plan b ? Ward more dominant vs. Kessler than Miranda is shocking...............?? Kessler should have fought like i stated. Little step forward, make the pressure and kept throwing the first punches. Instead he did the opposite, little step back wards and trying to counterattacked................never happened . In Kessler's next two fights, he will be the faster man and probably prevail, but he has to learn some new stuff now - if possible at this time at the carrier...? Great win Ward .............
Ward will always make Kessler be stuck in one gear without any adaptation. Kessler-Froch is where its at if you want to see a good fight.
