    Does not matter. Such an intentional head butts should have cost Ward a point, at least, actually he should have been disqualified. I will remember that Ward's opponents should butt him since Ward's fans claim that head butts are legal punches.

    He should have been disqualified due to one headbutt? Have you ever watched boxing before? That doesnt even make sense. Fighters do that **** all the time.

    Again, what about Froch's MMA takedown or his rabbit punching? Did he deserve to be disqualified as well...where was your moral high horse during that one?

    And they could have taken 5 points from Andre in that round and it wouldnt have mattered. Im starting to believe you have never even watched the fight and are just going off of the outrage of all the Kessler fans are spewing.

    Intentional head butts are extremely illegal. I had my nose broken by a damned head butt!

    But takedowns and rabbit punches are not? Werent you up in arms over Samuel Peter's rabbit punching vs Wlad saying he should have been disqualified over them way back when? You were...which just shows your biased.

    Learn something about the sport.

    And please tell me where ONE intentional headbutt even equaled a disqualification? I mean EVER?

    Boxers have been disqualified for intentional head butts.

    Very intelligently argued!!!

    :good

    Dirrell ran and feigned being forced down. Agreed. Froch rabbit punched and threw Dirrell to the canvas. Both fighters fought dirty. The amount of bias on this site is insane.

    Cant people be fans of the sport first and call a fight intelligently, rather than just go with whatever backs his favorite fighter?

    Yeah and you also told me that you marched with Dr King.

    Dude just answer one of the questions asked of you. Your like some ****ed up hippie that had his brain fried 20 years ago. Nothing you say makes any sense.

    So, boxing is falling down on canvas, complaining, running, holding and now illegal head butting. Remember, you should take up for those who do such in every fight, not just in favor for your favorite boxer.

    Butts...that is plural. That was the first time he INTENTIONALLY headbutted Kessler. And he was warned. Would I have been ok with a deduction? Sure...but a disqualification? **** no...be real.

    Like I said, there are exactly zero instances in the history of the sport where a fighter was DQ'd for ONE HEADBUTT! It doesnt happen. Its why we have warnings and deductions.

    And again, that headbutt happened so late in the fight, Kessler was already getting beaten pillar to post for quite some time before that. The only bearing it had on the fight was it sped up the cards...if it goes two more rounds, Kessler probably gets stopped or loses a UD, just like he did.

    I suggest you actually watch the fight.

    Dirrell was a ******, but i thought he edged the fight. Shame he didn't have the correct gameplan. I was very impressed with Dirrell when he actually decided to box and not run. I've shown no bias, i just made a statement regarding Dirrell being a ******. And thanks, i thought it was quite intelligently put too!! :hey

    I find it very strange that Andre Ward is the only fighter who has all his fights at home. And he did not have a belt before the tournament. All other fighters including the two champions had fights outside of their home. For example one of the champions Kessler has only his final fight at home. I think that this scheme gives Andre Ward a unfair advantage.

    I also find it strange when a lot of people are referring to Andre Ward as a black fighter. He is not. He is mixed so stop with all that racist crap. Besides, the thread has nothing to do with the fact that he is mixed. It is about the he is the only one with all of his fights at home.

    FACT! - You said Samuel Peter should have been DQ'd for his rabbit punching on Wlad.

    FACT! - You are cool with Froch doing it.

    And go look at my post history...Im not a Dirrell fan jackass and was actually cheering for Froch in that fight. Im just not biased...I call it like I see it, not how it fits my agenda.

    :-(
