I wanted to give Kessler the respect that he couldn't just be handled by Ward like that. But that was beautiful to witness.
One thing I do feel vindicated in having said previously, is that Ward is multiple times more the real deal than Dirrell. What we just saw in Ward is the quality that made all the 'Mayweather' and 'Whitaker' defences of Dirrell's performance in the Froch fight so laughable last month - GRIT. And Ward's control of distance and angles is wonderful, with so much more in his repertoire besides. Such a well-rounded fighter and a great attitude.
Made up for him. No title win has been more deserved this year IMO.
