    Kessler vs Ward rematch on neutral ground who wins?

    Am I crazy for thinking without the headbutts, holding and dirty tactics that kessler could beat Ward?

    Like if they were to have a rematch on a neutral grounds im not completely convinced that ward could do the same thing again.

    Ward wins that fight, regardless of location.

      Ward didn't need to clinch to win. It helped, but it's not like that's the only reason he was continously hitting Kessler easily, ans Kessler couldn't hit him.

          This shouldnt even be in question if you watched the fight.

            The Kessler of today is NOT the Kessler of 2006/2007.

            The layoff affected him, or the loss.

            But the Kessler that fought Andrade beats Ward on neutral ground

              Kessler at ANY part of his career gets schooled by Ward. Mikkel showed that he does not adapt in fights,walks and stands in front of you,can't handle awkward fighters with speed,plants his feet,and doesn't move his upper body or head much.
              To his credit,he beats most everyone in the Super 6, but Ward is too fast,too skilled,too smart in the ring for him...I would say Andre Dirrell could even cause him problems (I'm not saying Dirrell wins,but I wouldn't be shocked either- remember,STYLES make fights)....

                funny seeing as ward hasnt been all that active either and has been criticized for it for 5 years going

                maybe pandas eyes are failing him but me dont see no difference in the kessler of 2 years ago. andrade is a whole different fighter so hows that even a comparison

                    The Kessler back then fought the same way and had problems with Calzaghe's speed and angles (just like Ward). In fact, Anthony "the bum" Mundine gave him a little hell (im not saying Mundine won,I'm saying he looked decent at times against him),because fast fighters who are awkward (ala Calzaghe,Ward) will always have some success against him.
