People don't like the hold/clinching. But it's all up to the ref and how he calls the fight. He was lettting them go on the inside. Kessler clearly didn't want any part of the inside game tonight.
The clinching stopped any type of momentum or follow up punches by Kessler. It's a smart move whether you can't stand to watch it or not.Comment

Aside from the inside stuff Ward was clearly getting the best of him with the jab and timing Kessler coming forward. There was nothing Kessler could do. He was flat out dominated.Comment

Ward fought beautifully. I had a hunch for him to win it before the tournament started, and he definitely is going to go close.
I think Abraham is the favourite, I have my doubts whether Ward can stand up to, or avoid, Arthur's power.Comment

Not saying Kessler would've won, just that it wasn't a fair victory for Ward no matter how good he looked in the early part of the fightComment
