    Why are Ward, Berto and Bradley...

    ...allowed to get away with so many clinches and headbutts/forearms and still be called technically sound, in wards case great, boxers or fighters? It drives me insane to hear commentators, talking heads and boxing writers say this. After watching the latest fight camp 360 on the super six, when it showed ward post fight after Bika, all he did was complain about Bika being dirty and butting. The first thought that came to my mind was "now you know what's it's like to fight you!" thoughts?

        Bradley's head is always a factor, recently.

        He must be in serious threat of getting chucked out in his next fight. I'm sure it's an honest mistake but you can't continue to do what he does and get away with it.

        He probably needs a DQ, I think.

        The main reason I can't be that excited about a Bradley fight - that giant head. There is a decent chance of an unsatisfactory fight every time he steps in that ring.

          There are a few others but these three help represent the upper echelon of American boxing right now. I'm just affraid that these three cast a suspect shadow on American fighters as a whole with their dirty tactics and penchant for causing their opponents to lump up and bleed from body parts that aren't padded. I dunno man...nevermind that it's excruciating to watch.

            Wow really? I thought you'd at least come with some type of boxing logic, you went straight racial.
            Todays "boxing fans" and I use that word "boxing fan" loosley, know shyt about nor have any respect for the sport.
            Seems like it's being used as just another excuse to spew hate and blame others for your failures and uneventful life.

                There were some clowns on here and in the media saying Berto was a tier above and just needed to win again in an attempt to secure a super fight before 90 percent of them jumped aboard the Ortiz band wagon. All that being said, after round 4 Ward dominated tonight. Very good boxing. I don't think I've ever seen ward box so effectively with very few initiated clinches. I'm not affraid to give him his due
