Is Andre Ward a dirty fighter?

headbutts + holding too much = guess

So you admit you are sour ok thanks Bat Ill have to go over my tapes and look at it I still dont think he is dirty I think Floyd is dirty with those elbows he throws No admission chuck. I'm over it. Kessler beat Froch so I'm happy again.

This is nuts. he is just a little soar Teddy he is venting

Wheter or not this is sour grapes on my behalf or not, the question is still legit. Ward himself adressed the issue in the pressconference yesterday.

Bat I think you are just soar cause he beat the shit out of Mikkel Kessler and will do the same with the rest of the euros Im not saying that he is better cause he is american Im just saying that he can outbox all the other guys like Froch and Abraham Wheter or not this is sour grapes on my behalf or not, the question is still legit.

Let me tell you who Ward is reminiscent of: John Conteh. He said that he never intentionally headbutted an opponent, but he always positioned his head in such a way that he would get the better of collisions. That's what he said, but in reality he was one of the dirtiest fighters in modern british history. Ward is worse though. He swung his head as rammed in against Kessler. It looked very intentional. I said it looks as if it's part of his style. I hope that is proven wrong against Green and Dirrell, but I wouldn't keep my hopes up. This is nuts.

Simple question. Do you think Andre Ward is a dirty fighter? Poll coming. Bat I think you are just soar cause he beat the shit out of Mikkel Kessler and will do the same with the rest of the euros Im not saying that he is better cause he is american Im just saying that he can outbox all the other guys like Froch and Abraham

A little dirty but those headbutts could be accidental. He headbutts way too much IMO anyways, intentional or not

Of course Ward fought dirty but Kessler fought naive. good statement

Ward has a great style. I was never really a fan of his older style, where he used to use his legs more, but the style he used against Miranda and Kessler have been great. It's reminds me a bit of Bhop

War WARD!!!!! he going to win the tourney!!!

No, I don't. As NATAS pointed out, Ward is in complete control before anything could be interpreted as illegal. Don't think he was trying to pull a Golota and there is hardly any evidence to suggest so. Let me tell you who Ward is reminiscent of: John Conteh.

Don't be a dick. You know what I'm saying. No, I don't. As NATAS pointed out, Ward is in complete control before anything could be interpreted as illegal. Don't think he was trying to pull a Golota and there is hardly any evidence to suggest so.

"Clinching head first?" Like all fighters do? I don't recall fighters moving like a mummy when they try to clinch. Don't be a dick. You know what I'm saying.

He was clinching head first the entire fight. The first significant butt occurred in round four where Kessler went back to his corner saying that he couldn't see. Ward is dirty Natas. I will be of that opinion untill proven wrong. If Ward beats Green without illegal holding and headbutts I'll definetely give the guy his deserved props. "Clinching head first?" Like all fighters do?

See that's what I'm talking about. You're looking at this fight so baised man. Ward wasn't doing anything intentional. Their heads clashed a few times. But how do you explain Ward pounding on Kessler's face the entire fight and Kessler not being able to do anything about it? It wasn't the few head classes, it was Ward completely out-classing Kessler. I didn't even notice a significant clash of heads until round 7, and at that point, Ward was completely dominating the fight. He was clinching head first the entire fight.

by 'dirty', you mean using PEDS? if so, yes. andre "victor conte" ward is 'dirty'. The suspicion was there, but fortunately Ward has ditched the coorporation with the ex-BALCO CEO.

Yeah...and? Come on, Nelson. Some other guy in a minor fight in Las Vegas on the Gatti-Damgaard undercard. ... And the highly regaded and extremely dangerous Danilo Haussler in Germany. Not many foreigners win against the house fighter in Germany.

Some other guy in a minor fight in Las Vegas on the Gatti-Damgaard undercard. And he lost to Ward in Oakland. By a lot.
