Mikkel Kessler Says: "Andre Ward Was The Better Man"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mikkel Kessler suffered the second loss of his career on Saturday night in Oakland, California. The boxer most felt would win the Super Six super middleweight tournament, was battered, bruised and decisioned by the undefeated Andre Ward. Kessler had problems dealing with speed and movement of the much quicker Ward. [details]

You bet your ass Ward was the better man.

Speed? Fighting On The Inside? Footwork?

It was tough to watch, Ward looked young, fresh and hungry and looks like a great prospect, there's no denying the headbutt played a roll in the fight but as Mikkel said Ward was the better man. Kessler should fair much better against Froch.

Ward is not only a good switch-hitter but also a great headbutter...the times he lead with his head were rediculous...but not get me wrong, he clearly won this fight on points due to his speed and footwork but hit makes me feel uncomfortable with Kessler clearly being affected by those butts at the same time...still Kessler looked even worse then vs JC as his inactivity and low-level of opposition had hurt him...escpecially his footwork has gone downhill - and as a lot of people said: he can't adjust to one's style if his opponent figures him out.

1 last thing I realized yesterday: Abraham has better footwork than Kessler, who just moved in straight lines - I've never would have thought that...

After watching the fight for a second time, yeah, it really only was the head-butts. He should be warned. Head-butts cause damage and 1 headbutt that is bulled in, let alone more, can take you out of the fight if they hurt you that much. Shame because Ward didn't look like he needed it at all. From the start he was getting to Kessler without Kessler being able to respond like he usually does.
For the clinching: not that bad at all when compared to many other fights.

Philly fan? That game we actually used the blitz, once Peters left the game your offense couldn't get going, So are ya'll going with McNabb next year or is Kolb gunna be your guy?

Ward should really thank Moegens Palle for ******ing Kessler as a fighter for so many years.
