Was the Referee wrong to let Ward fight the way he did against Green?

green was wrong to fight the way he did. he had no idea how to get off of the ropes.

 

No. The referee did a fine job. He let the two men fight it out. Ward was not cheating. he was fighting.

 

:rofl I cant believe you are comparing Ali vs Foreman to Ward vs Green.

 

Yep because if I fight a guy like Ward I would just be disqualfied

 

:deal Some people see what they want to see...Green was the one that was doing a lot of holding.

I love how they try to blame the ref. for this!:rofl

 

Ward fought dirty vs Kessler. He did not fight dirty vs Green. Ward simply fought a beautiful fight and broke Green down in every way. Not once did I think Ward was fighting dirty and the referee did a great job of letting them fight it out on the inside. What I have a problem with is refs like Cortez during Mayweather Hatton.

 

That he was. It seemed like Green was focused more on holding than he was landing punches on the inside. I guess he doesn't speak 'jive' as good as he thought

 

Bad thread.

I haven't seen many news articles questioning the ref's handling of the fight. Spectator opinions, especially haters, don't carry much weight.

 

They were punching out of a clinch and infighting, it wasnt illegal. When holding happened, it was pretty split between both fighters, although Ward was actually able to do something with it and Green was just doing...well I don't know what. Being a heavy bag?

 

ever seen paez vs dorsey?
or any joe frazier fight? or tyson-ruddock 1 or 2?
or about 50,000 other fights? youre a pansy and douche bag if you think thats dirty

 

do you mean because you cant adapt and actually "fight" ?
its boxing, fighting , slipping, ducking, defense, hit, not be hit....
you should take down that avatar, you dont deserve it for being such a gigantic *****

for the pugilistically challenged that have no clue what INSIDE FIGHTING is.

 

It looked like MMA. Both fighters start at range, you think something can happen. Then Ward goes inside and everything becomes dull for half a round. But he has the right to fight this way, even if he can do it several other ways. This one was negating Green's assets more I suppose. Dull stuff.

 

Ward didn't fight dirty against Kessler and he didn't fight dirty against Green. LOL. 99% of the people crying about Ward "holding Kessler" or roughing up Green are Hatton supporters. LOL
