One of the biggest displays of headbutting i have ever seen. I've re watched this fight many times, where is the outrage? The headbutt was wards most effective punch....
Do you guys also know that ward said Kessler was the best boxer he faced?
Yea there were headbutts but that's just an excuse by Kessler to avoid the fact that he got embarrassed and lost every round.
Kessler was overrated. He was exactly what you would call a "European robot". It was a tailor made matchup for Ward. The only reason he was a slight underdog was because he wasn't well known at the time.
The Super Six played right into Wards comfort zone because got to face 3 European Robots (Froch, Abraham and Kessler).
When Calzaghe beat him, he was a bum.
When Ward beat him, his bum status was elevated to really good. Boxing fans are worse than casuals sometimes.
You have already been told by Cliff Rold and I that this is false. Stop saying it as if it's true.
Calzaghe-Kessler was a 50-50 fight going in, and Kessler was not seen as a bum as he was favored to beat Andre Ward and win the entire Super 6. Stop fabricating already. You are a good poster for the most part, don't ruin your image by lying.
Kessler was partly to blame as well, even the commentators noted how Kessler wanted no part of the inside fighting and would hold himself. Since Ward got that bad reputation no one wanted to accept that. It's no different from Timothy Bradley, had a reputation for butts but we completely ignored the fact that Alexander excessively holds and it was HE who was at fault for those butts. It didn't matter that Devon would go on his holding spree in fights to come, Bradley still had that bad rep.

An absolute lie that you hope sticks if you say it enough times.
Kessler was the favorite from the start to win the Super 6. Ward handled him and he had no answer and could not adjust the same way he did against Calzaghe.
I don't think any knowledgeable boxing fan thought Kessler was a bum after Calzaghe beat him. In fact, for a lot of people Kessler was his best win(maybe till the bhop win). Sounds like you're talking out of your arse. Calzaghe got credit for that win, one of his very few good wins.
Kessler was far and away calzaghes best win, that was a serious performance by Joe.
Joe was one of the best fighters to underachiever in this sport. Took way to many easy fights, waited too long to come to the U.S.A, and only fought old bhop, and old Roy.
He had a good career, but could of had a great one.
There's been a lot of outrage about this fight but the thing is, Kessler should have taken an immediate rematch. Instead he chose to run away from the s6.
Fight was ages ago, let it go. Ward fights dirty but clearly outclassed Kessler. Everyone here has seen the fight, and everyone knows what type of fight it turned out to be. Let it go.
if some one got out of jail for child rape would you let it go would you let him baby sit for you? ward s purse should have been taken and him fined a million. he is a yellow coward and woulda got KO'd without all the butts. that is why he did it
