why is he allowed to get away with hometown cooking where he can headbutt his opponents to death? to me it just seems really fishy, like showtime are using the tournament to make him a superstar.
No judge could've saved Kessler headbutts or not.
Ward beat his ass plain and simple.
There was a couple headbutts but yeah, Ward dogged him out in that fight...I was pretty impressed with his perormance
Because that's the stipulation for him to enter the tourney...having all of his preliminary bouts in Oakland...MAN, It's SHOWTIME! - not Sky, not ARD, not Viasat who promotes the whole tourney in first place - certainly they want to build an American youngster into a superstar...though, if a foreign boxer can overcome the odds and beat them US fighters, he's earned the superstar level on the world stage...
This is what I remember hearing before the tourney began
You're correct. He's being given home advantage, home referees that allow him to headbutt, and California Boxing Commission-appointed judges.
Can you imagine what the boxing analysts/writers/fans would be saying if it was Arthur Abraham having all his fights in Germany, Mikkel Kessler having all his fights in Denmark, or Carl Froch having all his fights in England?
Is that why there was a Swedish judge in that fight, a judge that also was judging Kesslers fight against Perdomo?
The only problem I have with Ward is some of his demented fans. Why? Because these same dumbasses also happen to be Floyd fans who rant on about Pacquiao all day on here and how he's supposedly using PEDs, completely ignoring the fact that Ward is working closely with the founder of BALCO, Victor Conte, and they don't say shit about that.
Hypocrites.

lets be honest people....it wasn't the headbutts that beat Kessler...it was Wards movement (awkward) and speed.........i don't know what fight everyone else was watching but in between those 2 headbutts Ward was whooping his ass with punches......
yep he kicked kessler's ass, it wasnt a deciding factor in that fight. Doesnt mean it wont be a deciding facor in the next one though.

u hit the nail on the head
how they are gonna get him past abraham is beyond me lol
all the headbuttting in the world and hometown dec wnt stop those hooks from knocking his head off !
That is very unfair, but it's not like he beat Kessler because of hometown judging, he beat Kessler because he was better. He should definitely have to leave the country though for ONE fight, everyone else does.
