Very much so.
Ward should have been disqualified for repeated deliberate headbutts.

So if you feel that way then you agree that Ricky Hatton should have been disqualified against poor Kostya Tszyu?

Anyway, Ward should have been warned much more than he ever has been and if he kept on doing it, then yes, disqualification. That's the benefit of hometown fights though I guess.

There was one nasty deliberate low blow by Hatton, but at least the UK ref deducted a point if I remember correctly.
Hatton was rough, but was never nearly as dirty as Ward.

You can punch inside if you are the one being held, not if you're the one holding as Ward was. Very strong Ward bias from ref Jack Reiss.
