88 Clinches from Ward in the Kessler Fight

[snoopymiller]

It sure as hell ain't inside fighting what Ward does in there.

If Smoger takes a point away for clinching, people will say he doesn't allow inside fighting.

Well... who reffed Toney-Jirov which was PREDOMINANTLY an inside fight at close quarters with less then 7 clinches throughout the ENTIRE 12 rounds?

Smoger.

what a protected, home town, ***** Andre Ward is. 88 clinches and like 5 headbuts and not even a warning.
With a competent ref Ward would definately had some points deducted and been disqualified. Either that or Ward would of been knocked out without the hit, hold and nut illegal tactics.
i dont give a **** what any of you Ward ****s say, your boys being heavily over rated thanks to **** hometown officiating

i was angry watching that and im not even Kessler fan so i can imagine how Kessler and his fans feel about that atrocious joke of a fight

[Danny Gunz]

Ward's obviously good, but people can't give Khan **** about his pushing then turn around and not give Ward equal amount of criticism for his excessive clinching.

dont be so sure even if the ref is biased Froch is used to fighters holding him unlike Kessler. i remember Froch timing Magee (yes i know Magee is **** compared to Ward but a clinch is a clinch) as he kept holding (because he was scared of getting hit.)
Anyway Froch knocked him unconcious with the right uppercut and i remember seeing Ward getting knocked down against Boone, who is not a puncher, with a right uppercut when trying to initiate a clinch.

So i honestly believe Froch, who will also be much better prepared for Ward than Kessler was, does have a great chance at winning even if the ref is biased

I actually agree with u i do believe it will likely be closer than many people realize, froch is underrated

yes i believe he is underrated by alot of people who see him and say 'what a slow, clumsy, bum this guy is'.
it is true that he can be slow and clumsy though but he has other great qualities that more than make up for this.

**** i hope he doesnt get schooled by Ward after ive said all of this though.

lol it should be a good fight whatever happens. I think froch can down get down & dirty if he needs to. the guy knows how to win or at least make fights close.

winner of this fight should be Fighter of the Year, imo.

Khan clinches excessively too..plus he runs like a jackrabbit..and cries like a baby.
