Andre Ward to Mikkel Kessler: I thought we had unfinished business?

Ward won in a dominant 1 sided beating. Another ref might've DQ'd Ward in that fight. Ward certainly could have had no complaints if he was. Not saying Kessler wins a rematch but it was terrible officiating, he at least deserves a fair shot but we know sure as shooting Ward isnt going to Denmark.

First of all, what I said isn't "bollocks" it's COMMON sense, I wasn't talking to you, I was referring to the people who are completely jumping the gun and saying "Oh, Ward is going backwards, he shouldn't be wanting to fight Kessler again" etc etc. When, that's not the case, he's just implying "WTF?" I thought you wanted the rematch so badly. And, you said "Bute called Ward out" like I confused Bute with Kessler, I didn't. There was an article with Kessler saying he wanted a rematch. People are making it out like Ward is begging for a fight with Kessler, and he doesn't want to progress, which is BS. As for Ward not jumping into a fight with Bute, did you not see the photo of Ward's hand after the Froch fight? It was mangled. Do YOU really believe after Ward's fought Kessler, Abraham, Green, Bika, and Froch, that HE'S scared of anyone?...Froch and Ward have been on hellacious schedules, and after EVERYTHING Ward has accomplished since Nov. '09, he deserves atleast a short rest, not to mention his hand injury. I didn't say he didn't deserve a rest. You're trying to justify a Kessler rematch on the premise that Kessler called him out. So I just said that Bute also called him out. Do you actually think Ward cares that Kessler called him out? Do you actually think he got all worked up about it? Do you believe fighters really sign fights based on that? The only reason hes considering the fight is because its an easy fight and Sauerland are willing to pay him a sh1tload of money. Welcome to reality.

Bute called Ward out...... Do you really believe all that bollox you posted? I mean seriously....do you?First of all, what I said isn't "bollocks" it's COMMON sense, I wasn't talking to you, I was referring to the people who are completely jumping the gun and saying "Oh, Ward is going backwards, he shouldn't be wanting to fight Kessler again" etc etc. When, that's not the case, he's just implying "WTF?"

you are a joke. ward spent the last couple of years in the super six fighting anyone put in front of him. he and froch were the only fighters not to miss a single fight, when they didnt have an oponent for ward he found his own oponent, and not just anybody he got the best available. now he takes one fight for himself, a fight thats still against a top5 s.mw and hes a joke? you do realize hes taking this fight bcuz of ppl like you? the haters that wouldnt give him credit after the first kessler fight and came up with a bunch of lame excuses. for the last couple of years its been headbutt this, hometown ref that.. now that ward is willing to set the record straight hes a joke? gtfo.. Ward's a holding, headbutting, elbowing, hometown advantage having ass joke. Sad thing is there are more and more brothers coming out and fighting like this garbageman. Ward will never go up to 175 and fight a real champ. He HELD-BUTTED his way through the 168 tournament. He should just retire already.

I'm thinking the rematch is possible after Kessler beats Green. Edited for Bat...

Ward won in a dominant 1 sided beating. He needs to continue with cleaning out the division & stop worrying bout this guy. Now he's calling out Martinez & a fighter he already wallopped?? Step forward, not backward.

I'm Well aware that I'm in a minority, but I Think Kessler Can win with fair officiating. http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs/136858_o.gif

To the people who called Ward a joke, seriously?? Kessler, was the one who was *****ing about "setting the record straight" and wanting a rematch, Ward said "If you want it again, you can come get it again" then out of NOWHERE, Kessler's moving up to a completely NEW division, to challenge (If you want to call it a challenge) Allan Green, so Ward's understandably confused and saying "What the hell dude, you just CALLED ME OUT for a rematch, now you miraculously forgot about me and are not only fighting someone else, but moving up to a completely different division?" I swear, people will literally find ANYTHING to ***** about. How can you NOT see Ward's understandably pissed, Kessler called HIM out, Ward said okay, looks like it might happen then Kessler not only flipped the script, he burnt that s.hit up and made a NEW one, so Ward's understandably like "WTF?" who wouldn't be? It's not like Ward's like "Oh, he's the only one I want to fight and he left" He's just saying like "Really man? Thought you wanted to square up with me again" Dude. Ward can't fight in May. Hé is injured.

LLS at Kessler winning with fair officiating! Some of yall are just sad and can never give a person credit when its due. Fact is Kessler just can't beat Ward no matter how any of yall want to slice it

Kess hasn't been looking to take tough fights since Ward and Froch gave him problems. From Bute, to Pavlik, to Stieglitz, now to Green? lol That has nothing to do with recovery from braininjury or hearttransplants.

Same can be said of Kessler. Explain please.

I'm confused how is he becoming a joke? :dunno: why does he want to fight a guy he beat 2 years ago again. he knows bute will give him hell :owned2:

I would like to see him fight either Dirrell brother instead.

The winner of Showtimes prestigerous Super Six World Boxing classic tournament WBA and WBC champion Andre Ward is opening up a return fight against former 3 time champion Mikkel Kessler Danish news agency ritzau writes. After the dane and his promotor Kalle Sauerland has said that the Danish star might move up to light heavyweight for his next fight, Andre Ward tweeted: Why is Kessler talking about fighting at 175lb, when he said we had "unfinished business." at the moment I don't have an opponent!! Andre Ward last fought in the Supersix final in December where he decisioned Carl Froch. Mikkel Kessler was one of the original members of the tournament where he lost to Ward in Oakland and subsequently defeated Froch in a thriller in Herning, Denmark. Following the Froch fight, Kessler had to withdraw from the tournament with a serious eyeinjury. Ward himself is currently recovering from a broken hand. Kessler is slated to return on May 19 at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen against Allan Green. Ward says he does`nt have an opponent?Is his mandatory Challenger Anthony Dirrel a figment of my imagination?

Who do you work for top rank? This fight has been brewing for 2 years and the only other challenge at 168 for either guy is Dirrell who is on the comeback trail. There is no reason this fight shouldn't be taking place ASAP before its too late. Bute isn't getting any younger. No but I understand business decisions. As a fan I'm just like you, I want the best fights right now but boxing doesn't work like that. The goal is to maximize the profit, not to give the fans what they want.
