Andre Ward hoping to be back in the ring by April or May.

[COACH WEBB]

Beat me to it......

[THE REED]

As close as it gets:

No it isn't...

[Evil Abed]

Not even sure what's being debated now. (Just got back from a nap)

Something about Ward and Kessler?

[BattlingNelson]

Yeah. One fight where hé was dirty hé said. The Kessler fight obviously.

[A7glow]

As close as it gets:

You're reaching.

[jrosales13]

Yeah. One fight where hé was dirty hé said. The Kessler fight obviously.

, umm...No.

[BoxingGenius27]

The ridiculousness of Nsb is peaking. Ward is so good that the no.2 of the division is unqualified.

I might sig this.

Why is it so hard for you to understand that Bute is the #1 contender of the division by default.

Let's put it this way:

1. Do you think not being invited to the SS = automatic shot at SS winner?

2. Do you think Bute is #1 because of the stiff competition he beat in Johnson, Mendy and McGee?

If you think it's yes, simple answer will do and I'll know where this convo is going.

[BattlingNelson]

You're reaching.

Ok. What dó you Think hé referred to then?

[A7glow]

Ok. What dó you Think hé referred to then?

"I can put my head on anybody’s chest in a boxing match. That’s part of boxing. But if we’re going to tag me with one fight and define my career by one instance that happened … that might not be the last time that I’m involved with head-butts. It happens. This is a physical battle. This is a fight. Do the same thing with him.”

If you read clearly he is not admitting to fighting unfairly, rather he is responding to Froch calling him dirty as a result of his fighting style. Note that he said that he can put his head on anyone's chest and that headbutts (did and) might occur. And that makes sense, as he comes in with his head to close distance and fight on the inside. There are bound to be headbutts, again, which he admitted. But that is not an admission to fighting dirty intentionally.

[BattlingNelson]

Froch says that Ward is a dirty fighter. Ward responds by saying that it was only one fight and not his career. I cannot interpret it anyway else and that is honourable of Ward to admit it.
