can a fighter ever win without all these damn excuses from so called boxing fans??

[Glamour Puss]

Not until they get deducted points for blatant cheating, hometown refs and judges are removed and the fighters get a fair shake.

Until then, people will ***** forever.

I thought he won because he was quicker, more skilled than Kessler, but honestly he was rubbing his head on Kessler's face during the clinches and holding on like John Ruiz! He was barging in head first, that was more like football to me. Ward has no power by the way, though he will probably win the tournament.

don when its all said and done, the most successful will have haters. they will also have ppl that love them... when they do something great like last night, and noone says anything one way or the other..... THEN, u should worry..

agreed, people need to stop coming up with excuses to why their favorite fighter loss. Give the guy who won some respect seriously

Yeah and we complain then too.

I don't mind clinching here and there, but excessive holding ruins the match and must be stopped by boxing.

who complained when mosley was holding in the margo fight??

I did. That was pretty bad, but Shane got away w/ it cuz' he kicked my boy's ass from pillar to post.

If that had gone to a decision, more people woudlve bitched.

[street bully]

Nothing wrong with holding, as long as you fight. Ward did ALL the fighting last night and made Kessler his *****.
