The Head Clashes: Andre Ward vs Mikkel Kessler (Video)

**Bhopreign** · 06-19-2010, 02:31 PM

The first butt a few seconds into the vid was caused by Kessler it was unintentional. The next seemed unintentional, the last two was Ward being somewhat generous with the head. I can see perhaps a vague argument on a Kessler's fans behalf but it was clear from round 1 who was better, sharper, and determined to win on that night. Ive said for a while Kessler is kinda soft, too nice in the ring, he needs to be rougher, after all it is a fight.

Ward knew Jack Reiss would let him get away with it.

There was also a lot of hitting while holding, and hitting off the break by Ward.

Ward is like a baby hopkins. He has his little combo of lead right,headbutt and grab. I hope he don't turn it into this **** all night

Andre Ward is a dirty ass fighter.

Ward should have been booted from the competition for his dirty tactics. In addition to headbutting he was also landing hits after the bell, and sneaking in illeagal blows.

Between the Danish judges, Andre's head, Abraham's cheating and Dirells faking, I think Froch may be the only honest lad in the tournament.

froch-dirrell was also a close fight so by your logic the british judges are also bias so everyone except ward has been somewhat ****ed over

Disgraceful headbutting.

only one or two looked intentional. the first had as much to do with kessler as it did ward. at the very most a point deduction for ward.

also, i haven't watched the fight since the night it happened, but from that it seems like the commentators were all over andre's ****. the punch you hear at :23 was kessler landing a left on ward's neck/jaw. it doesn't look like andre's left landed. i think it just passed right in front of kessler's face.

Nasty ****. Unbelievable that Butthead wasn't even cautioned. The way he throws his head in there is just mean and vicious.
