Ward was too explosive and awkward for Kessler, but using his head as a battering ram was disgusting.

Kessler was partly to blame as well, even the commentators noted how Kessler wanted no part of the inside fighting and would hold himself. Since Ward got that bad reputation no one wanted to accept that. It's no different from Timothy Bradley, had a reputation for butts but we completely ignored the fact that Alexander excessively holds and it was HE who was at fault for those butts. It didn't matter that Devon would go on his holding spree in fights to come, Bradley still had that bad rep.

When Ward beat him, his bum status was elevated to really good. Boxing fans are worse than casuals sometimes.
Calzaghe-Kessler was a 50-50 fight going in, and Kessler was not seen as a bum as he was favored to beat Andre Ward and win the entire Super 6. Stop fabricating already. You are a good poster for the most part, don't ruin your image by lying.

Yea there were headbutts but that's just an excuse by Kessler to avoid the fact that he got embarrassed and lost every round.
Kessler was overrated. He was exactly what you would call a "European robot". It was a tailor made matchup for Ward. The only reason he was a slight underdog was because he wasn't well known at the time.
The Super Six played right into Wards comfort zone because got to face 3 European Robots (Froch, Abraham and Kessler).
