WTF is with the Ward vs Kessler BS?

so let me get this straight...in your mind, it qualifies as "crying" to complain about a fight that 80-90% of the boxing world thinks dirrell got hosed, yet not "crying" to complain a clearly outclassed boxer in kessler got cheated?
also...a lot of americans are rooting for kessler or abraham to win this thing...try to think out your posts before you type...because i know you cant be that slow...Comment

It was a near shut-out. Kessler was outclassed throughout the entire fight. He was too slow, too predictable and not prepared to change mid-fight. I'm as surprised as anyone, but Ward has a new fan in me anyway.Comment

It was almost like watching a young Bernard Hopkins fight , holding the arm and hitting on the blindside of the referee, coming in with the head;Was Ward fighting dirty ? i dont think so but perhaps not as clean as i would have liked .I do think Ward wins this fight regardless of the head butts but those looked like they hurt like hell. That has to take alot out of a fighter. It was comparable to the low blows that Cotto gave to Judah intentional or not that changes the fight......But this is boxing.Comment

just face it, kessler is an average fighter and he got exposed. ward outclassed him from start to finish. kessler was looking for a way out and hes lucky the cuts stopped it before he got knocked out.
as for dirty tactics kessler was holding alot too. especially early on, then when he got desperate he tried to fight in close and ward was smart enough to tie him up the same way kessler was clinching him earlier.
the headbutts seemed accidental, ward had no reason to headbutt kessler at that stage ffs. half the time kessler backed up when ward threw, the other half he dipped his head down. a few times ward thought he was gonna pull back and came forward himself causing their heads to clash.
like i said kessler was lucky the cuts stopped it cuz theres a good chance he wouldve been knocked out in the 12th. ward is a far superior fighter.Comment

to be objective lets ask a list of questions and see who had advantage:
Who landed bigger shots?
Who landed more shots?
Who controlled tempo?
who looked faster?
who had better defense?
all ward all day definition of outclassedComment

I agree Ward put a boxing lesson on Kessler. I just think the butts really took a toll on Kessler.just face it, kessler is an average fighter and he got exposed. ward outclassed him from start to finish. kessler was looking for a way out and hes lucky the cuts stopped it before he got knocked out.

I hate to say it, but I agree with most of this. I think Kessler had us all fooled and Ward put a clinic on him.just face it, kessler is an average fighter and he got exposed. ward outclassed him from start to finish. kessler was looking for a way out and hes lucky the cuts stopped it before he got knocked out.
