You must be related to Kessler or you have never watched boxing before. Ward fought like a veteran and did what he had to in order to win. If Kessler didnt like Ward getting inside he should have thrown jabs. Although I am sure you will say that the ref wouldnt let him jab.

Wow, this article was pretty bad. I am curious to know what basis the author has in order to make the claim that Taylor will knock out Ward.

Amar Jahabgir must be so new to boxing writing that he missed Hector Afu’s awful refereeing job in Froch-Dirrell. I was at both fights and witnessed Ward being effective with his left as early as round 1. He didn’t fear the favored Kessler (who I picked to win) and his confidence grew round by round as he was quicker and more accurate than Kessler. The judges gave MK 2-3 rounds, so it was way more than a headbutt or holding. Jahabgir lost the rest of his marginal credibility when he speculated that Taylor would KO Ward. I’m looking forward to attending the next bout in the Super Six tourney, which is good for boxing.

It would appear the Americans got their victory by hook or by crook. The head butts are as American as apple pie and Ward revealed that he is an apple pie fan par excellance.

you are a imbecil! Ward was the much better fighter. Kessler? Who is Kessler?! These were the words ok Bernard Hopkins 2 years ago when he fought Calzaghe. Who is Kessler i’m asking you now? He definetely is not in Wards league.

superb article 100% agree

I watched the fight and i realised how poor ward is, and although i find the super 6 interesting now i have come to realise its all about getting the belts into the hands of americans.

ward will get knocked out because all he has is speed and no power!!

there is one issue ward refused to fight outside of america so its in his contract with the super 6 he doesnt have too

The ref was a disgrace and the Showtime announcers were too busy being partisan to call him out on it.

Froch is only one in this tournament that won a questionable decision.

Oh I get it. This is a reaction to the Carl Froch fight. And all of the latitude that he was given with what truly seemed to be intentional fouling. And, Carl all but admitted that he was doing it intentionally. It takes two to clash heads and I know that certain fighters may have stances that would tend to increase the probability of heads clashing. I would say that the person who takes the brunt of a head butt sometimes causes the heads to clash themselves. I think that on certain occasions this was the case with Ward and Kessler. After all Ward did not do any judo trips or pushing his opponents head down while throwing punches to the back of it. I don’t think a fighter should be penalized for unintentional butts.

Amar Jahangir is a moron for writing this story.

Ward was the way better fighter, no doubt about that.
But i dont like his dirty trick with the head butts.
I hope the referee will stop this in Wards next fight.

Cheers to Ward.

I loved seeing MK get butcherd and bloodied! Another Euro fighter who’s been fighting other slow European fighters got exposed!
