    I'm tired and might make something about it tomorrow, but I think Kessler and his team underestimated Ward. It's not an excuse as I don't think he would have won anyway.

      He lost because he couldn't adjust to Ward's style and hadn't really done any homework on him to begin with.

      Ward's team said they had a gameplan for nine weeks, and it was evident.

        There's no debating that Ward won big. He would have won without the headbutts anyway. As for the holding well sometimes you can get away with it and sometimes you don't. As far as I've seen it wasn't too bad.

        I just don't like dirty fighters and surely we didn't need the butts and Ward didn't need them to win either. I wish that the ref had taken a point and since he didn't I wish Kessler had fired a right hand to André's nuts. Kessler is just too nice for the progame really.
        Taking a point would've been fine with me. But then there's people like Tunney saying the fight should be overturned, this and that, just ridiculous.

            Was it just me or did Kessler not look in tremendous shape. He usually looks physically better than he did IMO.
