Kessler blames headclashes and the fact kessler admits he fights in straight lines!!!

I went all in 400k over Kessler with BattlingNelson in this fight for a reason, I was confident that Ward would give Kessler too many angles, too slick, and would do anything to win.

Ward just wanted it more, plain and simple.

I don't think Kessler was making excuses because he clearly stated he wasn't use to that, he quickly observed what he needed to be worked on - lateral movement. And he said he wasn't use to that...he didn't know how to adjust. One of the headbutts looked intentional, but it wasn't. To Kessler, the fighter in the ring, it seemed that way. I think he was being really honest. He didn't make any excuses against Joe Cal either...

What lost Kessler the fight?

neither of those reasons... kessler didn't throw enough combos and ward's handspeed and footspeed is too much for him
