    Someone from Texas know about Ward? Dope.

    Andre doesn't fight dirty. It's just he's the shorter of the two men, so naturally he's gonna dip a little bit. Why would you fight str8 up if someone who's taller than u. Headbutts happen.

    With Hopkins? Callin him a dirty fighter is a bit of a stretch, but i'm sure he does use butting as a tactic, but i don't think he soley relies on it.

    Holyfield? He is what you call a habitutal head-butter.

    If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying to win. LoL.

        As seen above it's not true. Ward is in fact taller than Kessler. He just lunged in and slammed his skull into Kessler's face untill it fell apart.

        And he IS a dirty fighter. Why else would he start butting in a fight he was winning clearly with just a little holding?

          That's what I'm sayin...and that's why Abraham would be a much tougher/harder fight/fighter to figure out for Ward...

            Just take the fat yank option.

              Abraham surely wouldn't have that **** happen to him.

              I wish Kessler had hit Ward in the nuts. Mikkel is just to nice.

                My dude B-Hop has openly talked about hitting opponents on their hip and legs, when the referee is on the opposite side, to restict movement later on in the fight.

                Ward's gonna need more than 1 fight of accidental headbutts to catchup to Hopkins.

                  Yep. The butting was a new addition to his arsenal. The holding however is wellintegrated in his little dirty bag of tricks.

                    Ward might as well strapped a chisel to his head. The ref wasn't going to do anything about it.

                      Hate the holding as a tactic, strips the fight of sustained and possible excitement. That's why I could never understand how so many people were proclaiming Mosley as one of the most exciting fighters.

                      Without clinching fights would be waaaayyyy more exciting. Without it Berto and Hatton would not have beaten Urango as easily as they did. Cotto could have employed that tactic against Margarito and won that fight going away like Mosley did too.

                      There has to be a way found to enforce the rule.
