    Sadly not. I think the fifth and sixth were Kessler's best and I wouldn't remotely say that he won them absolutely clear. He might have got 2 rounds over the course of the fight and they weren't that impressive rounds. So yeah, not a good night at the office.

    The poll speaks for itself. Go back, watch the fight again, and PM me so we can talk this through.

    Ward fought a great fight how can people try to take that away from him well because they love to hate.

    Joe Calzaghe needs to go to bed, it's admiral that he has stayed up to 7am to make 4 ESB accounts to protect the credibility of his resume, but how much coffee can one man consume in a 24 hour period. Go to bed man!

    No. One-sided beat downs are anything but competitive.

    1. Denial — "I feel fine."; "This can't be happening, not to me."
    Denial is usually only a temporary defense for the individual. This feeling is generally replaced with heightened awareness of situations and individuals that will be left behind after death.[1]

    2. Anger — "Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; "Who is to blame?"
    Once in the second stage, the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue. Because of anger, the person is very difficult to care for due to misplaced feelings of rage and envy. Any individual that symbolizes life or energy is subject to projected resentment and jealousy.[1]

    3. Bargaining — "Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything for a few more years."; "I will give my life savings if..."
    The third stage involves the hope that the individual can somehow postpone or delay death. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made with a higher power in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. Psychologically, the person is saying, "I understand I will die, but if I could just have more time..."[1]

    4. Depression — "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die . . . What's the point?"; "I miss my loved one, why go on?"
    During the fourth stage, the dying person begins to understand the certainty of death. Because of this, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time crying and grieving. This process allows the dying person to disconnect oneself from things of love and affection. It is not recommended to attempt to cheer up an individual who is in this stage. It is an important time for grieving that must be processed.[1]

    5. Acceptance — "It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."
    This final stage comes with peace and understanding of the death that is approaching. Generally, the person in the fifth stage will want to be left alone. Additionally, feelings and physical pain may be non-existent. This stage has also been described as the end of the dying struggle.[1]



    Give yourself time. You'll get there.
