Referee Himself Admits Seeing 5 Headbutts & only Rules On 1?

he had something but he only had one eye to see and fight with Fight should've been in Denmark, Kessler was the champ kessler lost rds 1-4 w/o butts kessler didn land a clean fight throughout stop whining your champion wasnt good enough point blank. He stunk up the arena and his only entertainment value was to see how many times ward could snap his head back

If point deductions were given for the headbutts done after the first one then the judges scores would've been a lot closer. People wouldn't be using words like "schooled" or "destroyed" etc to refer to Wards victory. The change in reputation of these fighters wouldn't be as drastic as most people on this forum are making it out to be. This. Just people who are actling like 5 headbutts, at a minimum, don't effect the fighter (vision, equilibrium, bleeding, frustration the ref isn't doing anything) are delusional. Along with, as you mentioned, had the ref done something right away it would have certainly changed the dynamic of the fight. Also, every clinch the ref warned Kessler? I honestly didn't hear him say anything to Ward once in spite of the fact that he initiated the vast majority of them.

kessler would've lost without the headbutts and holding, but the dirty tactics really through kessler off his game.

Honestly bro Kesslers main fanbase is built of Calzaghe nutt-huggers who want to defend Calzaghe only prime notable opponent exactly. they hyped his loser up because he gave calzaghe such a tough fight. when the reality is calzaghe is just not that good if he struggles with guys like kessler and bika.

can tell you've never been in the ring, every fight has head butts, more excuses from kessler fans, reality, kessler got schooled, deal with it And yes i have been in the ring. Headbutts do happen but not all the time as you claim. And certainly not with people using their head like a battering ram, that was shameless. I'v also been in real fights (not boxing) where i have thrown & recieved headbutts and i know how much they can effect your equilibrium and vision.

lol So you can tell i'v never been in the ring because i don't condone headbutts? They do always happen when Hopkins or Holyfield fight. Did you yourself not see the, what, 4 seperate cuts? Yes, you rule on it if it causes a cut, Kessler had one above and below one eye and a cut over the other. That is at least 3 seperate cuts, it looked like someone took a broken beer bottle to him in a bar fight. You dont know for sure that they came from butts. You act like he never got hit with a punch the whole fight. The ref didnt think the others came from butts and I didnt see them come from butts either. Not saying that they didnt but its possible either way

And people complain about Germany? The Ref himself said he saw 5 seperate headbutts from Ward and he only ruled 1, someone care to explain that? Props to Goosen on getting the upperhand with his negotiating skills. It's easy to land when your opponent has double vision. I just hope that Kessler doesn't have a detached retina and doesn't need surgery. Hopefully the cuts heal up so he continues in the tourney no problems and him and Ward will meet in the Semis or Finals, can't wait to see that. Diddn't Team Kessler complain about the original ref and judges? Wonder if he feels he should've kept quiet about that.... Oh....it'll be Ward/Abraham in the finals with Abraham getting outboxed......

would'nt of mattered if that was true, check the score cards, kessler did'nt have anything ...Absolutely correct!!! They were not intentional head butts from a shitbag anyway. They just happened. Kessler was garbage tonight. Ward beat his ass from start to finish. The "Great Dane" was as soft as a Danish.

They do always happen when Hopkins or Holyfield fight. Did you yourself not see the, what, 4 seperate cuts? What is there to rule? You dont rule on a headbutt unless there is a cut or unless you deemed it to be intentional. He didnt think any of them were intentional and he didnt see any of them open a cut until that 1 that he did rule on Yes, you rule on it if it causes a cut, Kessler had one above and below one eye and a cut over the other.

He didnt think any of them were intentional and he didnt see any of them open a cut until that 1 that he did rule on Ward was initiating the head butts, accidental or not, they were caused by Ward. He deserved not only warnings, but point deductions.

Rules are there for fouls, you don't let them slide because you deem them accidental. If Ward was accidentally low-blowing all night, he would have had points deducted, why are head butts any different?

ward kinda leads w/ his head, but it wasn't intentional

would'nt of mattered if that was true, check the score cards, kessler did'nt have anything he had something but he only had one eye to see and fight with Fight should've been in Denmark, Kessler was the champ

Exactly, wtf was that bullshit.
