    Who controlled tempo?
    who looked faster?
    who had better defense?
    all ward all day definition of outclassed
    hey now hopkins did that vs calzaghe and still lost so you never know. i think the question you should ask is who missed more? then you will find the true winner.

      Im an American, and I think Ward used to many head butts and sneaky elbow shots.

      He could have won without them.

          Correct!

          This is what I said in my starting post only I doubt half the people even read it.

            Enough with the headbutt talk. If Kessler had anything to offer - and was what he was touted to be - he would've used his hand speed to catch a Ward lunging with his head in clear view.

              He should have at least have some points deducted. The cuts take a toll on you, and Kessler himself said he couldn't see. Very dirty fighter, I can't count the amount of times he headbutted Kessler and held on for dear life whenever Kessler tried to unload a combo. But that's boxing I guess. It's funny when you hear these yanks complaining about officiating in foreign countries and when it works for them, they're quiet about it. Double standard much?!
              Definitely a double standard.
