Did you guys notice that? When Jim Gray 1st came on to say that Kessler said he couldnt see, that was the start of round 8. Now after round 9 ends, thats when they show the replay of the headbutt and kept saying that it happened in round 8. Immediatly I knew that was wrong because how could it happened in round 8 when Gray already said it as soon as round 8 began. After the fight I went back to round 8 and put on on fast foward at the very low speed so I could find out if either Bernstien was wrong about the replay being from round 8 or if the replay definatly was from round 8 and they just got it wrong.
Anyways I watched it a couple of times and didnt see it but the 3rd time I finally saw it. It was at the very end of round 8 so the replay itself was right but again, thats not when that cut opened since Gray was already reporting it. It had to happened before round 8. On top of that, if you watch that replay, it looks way worst from that view and in slow motion. If you watch it during the fight at normal speed, they barely make contact with eachother and from the replay you can see that its more of Kessler's punch that brings Ward into him because it kind of misses and hits him out the outside and brings Ward close. Still, it was a tap so I doubt if that did anything.
Basically my point is that they were wrong. That replay was from round 8 but the cut happened in one of the 7 rounds before that and the headbutt in the replay was not strong enough to open a cut IMO, even though we all know it doesnt take much. Now to take that point even further, you could honestly say that it may have not been a headbutt that opened the cut. Again, they said the ref missed it and didnt rule it a butt but thats not when the cut opened. It couldve came from a punch. I know I didnt notice it before then. Did any of you? It legitmatly may have been a punch that opened that 1st cut. I think there may have been a couple of headbutts before round 8 so it still may have been from a headbutt but the fight didnt turn sloppy and turn into a holding & headbutt fest until about round 8 so as of now I will give Ward the benefit of doubt and say that the 1st cut came from a punch.
