    Didn't Kessler say he had eye problems before the Ward fight?

    Either way, that fight and the Froch fight didn't help.

        Ok...cool. With that said, you ruin fighters with skills. What is so skillfull about repeatedly headbutting your opponent, because if Kessler was seeing double vision from that fight, anyone who saw that fight knows his eye problems were from those dirty a$$ headbutts.

        Honestly, let's keep it real as well. Ward knew damn well what he was doing with those headbutts and almost all of them were intentional.

          What about the 40 or so punches a round that couldn't miss. No it was all headbutts, the one or two butts a round.

            people can keep using the headbutts as an excuse if they want you're only ignoring his skills. I mean Kessler didn't receive a significant headbutt until about round 7 or 8 and what happened before then? Kessler was getting absolutely schooled for every minute of the fight. There wasn't even a 30 second stretch that Kessler did anything significant. That's how bad Ward was beating him. Obviously that wasn't because of headbutts homie

              The worst thing is when he has you pinned against the ropes and his head is right in your face; leaving his opponents hesitant to move. I'm not all against that but I would have hittin' him low a few times, probably slam him too.

                hes a headbutter who refuses to fight otuside of his comfort zone. joe C should unretire, challenge ward in england. Would be the easiest resume builder ever. Joe C would brutalize ward in England where ward couldnt cheat. Only way Ward could keep Joe off him is with the headbutt.

                  I agree, I think Ward frustrates his opponent but to me beside that he's not that special.

                    lol Kessler fans...let it go!

                    Kessler got his a_s_s kicked...Move On!

                    a nice Jab and good Footwork is a way to keep Ward from getting inside and swinging that BIG ***in Head, fans always cry like pu_s_sies over certain fighters styles but their opponent have to be pretty ****** if they just stand their and allow him to do those type of things, you have to keep moving against guys like Ward and Hopkins, Roy Jones vs Hopkins 1 laid the Blue Print as to how you deal with guys like Hopkins and Ward, you gotta have good footwork and be very elusive against them to try and keep then from pinning you against the ropes

                      The butts was there much earlier. The flying headbutt in round 4 made Kessler tell his corner that he couldn't see. Now we know that he had eyeproblems while preparing for the fight So it's now easy to assume that his eyecondition and those butts made Kessler a sucker for the right hand due to him seeing double.



                      Topic: Yes he ruins fighters. Or at least he contributes to ruining them His contribution in ruining Kessler was likely significant.
