      See that's what I'm talking about. You're looking at this fight so baised man. Ward wasn't doing anything intentional. Their heads clashed a few times. But how do you explain Ward pounding on Kessler's face the entire fight and Kessler not being able to do anything about it? It wasn't the few head classes, it was Ward completely out-classing Kessler.

      I didn't even notice a significant clash of heads until round 7, and at that point, Ward was completely dominating the fight.

        The su****ion was there, but fortunately Ward has ditched the coorporation with the ex-BALCO CEO.

          He was clinching head first the entire fight. The first significant butt occurred in round four where Kessler went back to his corner saying that he couldn't see.

          Ward is dirty Natas. I will be of that opinion untill proven wrong. If Ward beats Green without illegal holding and headbutts I'll definetely give the guy his deserved props.

            "Clinching head first?" Like all fighters do? I don't recall fighters moving like a mummy when they try to clinch.

                No, I don't. As NATAS pointed out, Ward is in complete control before anything could be interpreted as illegal. Don't think he was trying to pull a Golota and there is hardly any evidence to suggest so.

                  Of course Ward fought dirty but Kessler fought naive.

                    Let me tell you who Ward is reminiscent of: John Conteh. He said that he never intentionally headbutted an opponent, but he always positioned his head in such a way that he would get the better of collisions. That's what he said, but in reality he was one of the dirtiest fighters in modern british history.

                    Ward is worse though. He swung his head as rammed in against Kessler. It looked very intentional. I said it looks as if it's part of his style. I hope that is proven wrong against Green and Dirrell, but I wouldn't keep my hopes up.
