      Plus he is one dimensional and stiff, which is why he can't handle loose relaxed fast guys like Ward.

          lols... 1x in round 3 doesn't mean he is a habitual clincher.

          just cause you smoked pot 1x doesn't make you a pothead.

          ward was holding and hitting. it was like watching a young bhop.

              The referee came to Kessler's corner and told him and his crew that Kessler can keep punching during clinches UNLESS he says break.

              Hands free...punch out. It's Kessler's fault if he chooses not to.

                Exactly, look at the beginning of RD3 in the first 20 seconds. As soon as Ward gets inside he works the body then goes up the ladder and finishes with a combo up top. That would have happened all day unless Kessler held on and prolonged the clinches as defense mechanism.

                  Ward held and hit all night vs Miranda and Kessler. It works like a charm !

                    Of course he was holding too! This is just some whiny ***** excuse. Only chance Kessler had is if he flew in some racist UK judges.

                      it makes you a thief, but I can't say its habitual or a behavior if you only did it one time.

                      geez.
