He got warned for a straight right hand that landed around the ear.
And how was Kessler almost DQ'd? I don't recall him even losing a point. You and I have gone back and forth on this before. I think the fight was determined by the fighters. Mikkel isn't a good infighter. He's gotten better since Montoya started working with him. I don't think he could win, but I think he'd do better in a rematch if he doesn't get too old first.Comment

If he stays at 168 and just decides to be a class titan, Kessler is a good challenger and so would Froch be. Nothing wrong with just dominating a field for a while.
I think a move up would be good too, but he probably makes more against the top guys at 68 still.Comment

That's true, but he fought these guys recently, and dominated. It's hard to get excited about him fighting guys he dominated in rematches already.Comment

Reiss went to kessler's corner between rounds saying that he should stop holding or he'd be DQ'ed.He got warned for a straight right hand that landed around the ear.

Yes Mikkel is a terrible infighter. Ward is great at that. That was the key in the fight. Ward/Hunter had done their homework. I just dont think Ward would be allowed swinging that wildly with his head coming in if the fight was some place else.
I dont know if he is better under Montoya. He is different thats for sure. More hooks, more aggression, more bodywork, less defense. I want to see Kessler tested against a top guy if he gets by Magee. I think he KO's Froch and a Ward fight is no worse than 60/40 to me.Comment
