Will the officials in Oakland (referee and judges) be fair to Chad Dawson?

[BattlingNelson]

Fact? After this, you and I don't have to ever discuss boxing again. I've never disrespected you as a man or name called you. Did I like your whining about the fight? Of course not. And I have been critical of Ward about the headbutts in that fight? Sure I have. But you missed it because you were so focused on how badly Kessler got beat up. In the past, I said that he fought too wild which resulted in the headbutts. But the REALITY of the matter is that he dominated Mikkel Kessler, hell, he dominated EVERYBODY he fought in the tourney. Did I like that ALL his fights were in Oakland, no I didn't and again, I've stated as much in the past. I've also stated how I think that Ward should have done the extra drug testing for fights in the past when he himself said that he would do it. Those are facts.

The namecalling I made in a previous post was out of character and for that please accept my apologise.

If you indeed have been critical as you say I must have missed it. It must have been some time ago, as for the past several months you have been to biased which I found odd because I normally have respect for your posts.

I have no problem acknowleding that headbutts opened up cuts on Kessler's face. Were they deliberate headbutts? No. What happened after the headbutts though? Kessler was whooped. I swear the way some of you tell it headbutts were the only thing thrown during the fight. Has Ward not said he would definitely fight Kessler again? Kessler doesn't want it because it would be another L on his record.

Not deliberate. Yeah sure. At least that's how the ref saw it. Anybody with half a brain could see that wild swings with the head was part of Wards fouling tactics.

5 headbutts that landed. Several attempts that missed. All unintemtional. Yeah right.

i would hope not considering donaire's only fought complete bums when fighting in the bay area. quit being a homer, it's pretty obvious that ward gets some favors when fighting in oakland. from the headbutts in the kessler fight, to the holding in the miranda and green fights, and the elbows in the bika fight. not to mention the scores in the bika fight were a joke. 120-108 and 118-110 is garbage. it was a pretty even fight. i scored it a draw in fact.

now i'm not saying miranda, kessler, or green would have won if the fight was somewhere else (i consider miranda and green journeyman/gatekeeper status), but the deck was stacked against them. if the bika fight was somewhere else, ward may possibly have caught a dq with those elbows.

Jeez...I guess you forgot to include how Bika was the one who started the elbows and had his own share of rough-house tactics as well.....smh

lmao, dudes still crying because his fighter is no longer the best in the world. i guess this is what happens when u dont have much else to root for in the sport. smh, lmao. but its hilarious but pathetic at the same time. no matter how much u cry, it wont change the fact kessler lost, got dominated by a fighter he was supposed to beat. if kessler wants to fight ward again, im sure ward will jump at the opportunity. once he gets beat, once again, then i expect u to cry some more. either way, carry on. lmao

Only if it is in Oakland, with his ref and judges

Great Champions can win away from home against top class opposition.

Ward doesn't even have the balls to fight a weight drained Dawson in a neutral venue.

It's fine to have an irrational hatred for Ward if you want. But to resort to insulting other forum members just because they disagree with you is pretty classless, Battling Nelson.
