Ward putting up a clinic against Kessler has to be the best. Second place would be Dirrell against Froch. I liked that more than the Abraham performance because he hit Froch with some brilliant counters and made him miss and look like a joke
I really can't stand the way Ward fights... I give him credit because he wins fights and sticks to the game plan but it's completely unappealing to me.
Ward won because he used his head and I don't mean that on a figure of specch. He won every round based on a nasty unappealing way of fighting. I don't like his style but I think he might just win the tournament.
dirrels pathetic *****y performance to avoid an up coming ko from abraham. well played dirrell, too bad *****, abraham is gonna get you next time, this time you dont have home town refs and judges to save you
Ward suprised me with his lopsided win over Kessler but Dirrell impressed me by outboxing Abraham. It's a tie for me but I voted for Dirrell's win over Abraham
how is Abraham a better fighter than Kessler?
even using stupid logic Kessler>Abe.
Kesser>Froch>Dirrell>Abraham
regardless Kessler is the much more accomplished fighter at 168lbs.
Meh It was a good win. I just dont think that highly of Kessler at all. Abraham isnt some scrub.
I see a lot of Wards vote but we gotta remember Green is garbage and Abe is a much better fighter imo.

Don't remember. I only remember Kessler's eye:

I remember that cut coming from a headbutt caused when Kessler punched Ward's head into his.
I think its Ward's performance against Kessler, and kind of by a landslide.
Kessler was considered the best Super Middleweight in the world and had given Calzaghe a very tough fight beforehand as well.
Very few people thought Ward had any kind of shot, and plenty of them thought that Ward was going to get KOed. people forget so quickly.
Ward ended up pretty much shutting out Kessler and actually beat him up pretty bad too.
Dirrell-Abe wasnt as impressive to me, because Abraham's weaknesses have been obvious for a long time. people forget his crappy performances against Ashira and Oral among others simply because he pulls off huge KOs at the end, but hes always been a very incomplete fighter.
besides, I actually thought Abe was starting to come on late in the fight, wheras Ward was getting stronger and stronger as the fight progressed.
