Comments Thread For: Kessler is Eager: Andre Ward is The Perfect Fight For Me!

[BattleAxePurist]

Trying to compare East coast to West coast US to different European cities is a bad argument just doesn't work like that

But this fight isn't happening bcse can't imagine Ward leaveing US so why would Kessler go back there when he already gave Ward a title fight in his hometown can't complain though Kessler is only older and there are better style match-ups for him that could bring more money too

But he gets credit for wanting to avenge the loss

I guess he is hoping Ward gets a passport since all the other topfighters in the division now has travelled.

I'm sorry, but "Fat yanks"???? C'mon man. Try better than that.

Yea, I mean seriously. HE couldn't even give me a relatively decent argument, but then tells ME I don't know what I'm talking about? Sour g****s much? And just because the visiting fighter didn't win doesn't mean s.hit if they ACTUALLY LOST THE FIGHT, now does it? If the hometown fighter dominated them, they dominated them plain and simple. The only fight in the super 6 that had a questionable decision was the Froch-Dirrell fight. Every fight that was in Ward's hometown he won handily, and easily.

Everyone wants to go on and on about these mythical head butts against KEssler, yet no one can come up with a decent argument as to why Kessler was getting out-boxed, and countered all night. Exactly. Froch took his defeat like a man against Ward, never complained about head butts. And said Ward was a great fighter. Abraham and Green didn't whine about head butts, did they? No, they took their defeat like a man.

I'm so sick of seeing salty KEssler fans complain all the time. Kessler was outclassed, plain and simple. Kessler is a good fighter, but Ward bested him handily. Stop the *****ing. I like how I'm told I don't know what I'm talking about given the fact I'm an american and have lived here virtually my whole life. Froch had tons of fans in Atlantic City cheering him on, Ward still dominated. I mean, what is it people want to see out of Ward that the man hasn't showed us already? Everyone that's been put in front of him he's dominated. He made Froch look like a D level fighter and I love Froch, and in Froch's next fight what does he do? Crushes Bute in 5 easy rounds, the same Bute people have claimed Ward was ducking hahaha. Yup, okay.

Also, you said to me "LOL at comparing AM to pro" The point is, is that Ward has fought allover the place in the amateurs and he still won virtually all of his fights. Yes, amateur boxing and professional boxing are different. But it's still fighting. What is your beef with Ward Nelson? You're blatantly grasping for straws in trying to degrade him. Are you that upset that he beat the brakes off Kessler? Dude, people lose fights, nothing to get hysterical about.

Hit and hold.. Hit and hold... headbutt... jab jab... Hit and hold = Boring fighter = Ward

He is very dull, but very quick & smart. I can't see either Kessler or Froch beating him - as much as I'd like that. Instead of looking at boxing strategies to beat the Son of God they should watch Gibson's "Passion of the Christ". There might be some clues in there.

I picked Kessler to win the Super 6 and rooted for him, but thought Ward beat him rather easily. I don't like Ward's style, but it is effective. Question is, why would the #1 guy rematch somebody he beat fairly handily in the loser's hometown? While I wish Ward had been forced to fight in Europe during the Super 6, does anybody really think Kessler beats Ward if they fight in Copenhagen?

Re:fatyanks. BN, you should know insulting someone based on nationality/ethnicity always weakens your argument.

[badass316]

So long as the rematch is not in Oakland and with a competent ref, I'd love to see it again.

Mythical headbutts? LMAO. The only thing mythical about them is how he Got away with it.

Why dó you Think Ward wont travel?

[Weebler I]

What is it people want to see out of Ward that the man hasn't showed us already?

To afford his opponent's the respect they have shown him by fighting them at their place.

It was a joke that Ward was able to fight the entire out of CA until the final of the Super 6 where he still got to fight in his home country while Froch, Taylor, Kessler, Abraham and even lionheart Andre Dirrell hit the road for their fights.

When has Ward gone into his opponent's backyard? he said he's willing to fight in Denmark - so prove it.
