Comments Thread For: Kessler Rips Ward Over Pick: He Can't Sell Tickets

[NoLove]

True that.

[LacedUp]

it was on that Behind The Ropes episode this week....Kessler said he underestimated Ward and his trainer said there were spies...some dude sparred with Kessler then went to spar with Ward and supposedly was passing information

I did see that. I didn't take it like that though. And who's to say its not true? He's saying he wasn't there on the night. He's also said Ward is a good fighter, very hard to beat. So I guess he's coming from a couple of angles.

Ward must be sweating over the fact that the number 2 & 3 are making double his highest purse for this fight.

Kessler never said anything about spies it was Jimmy Montoya ! Wise up or ship out

Whether you like or dislike Ward, you have to feel sorry for him for almost begging 2 fighters he beat comprehensively for another payday. It seems not many people care for Ward whomever he beats.

Ward is a proven cheat 88 fouls in the Kessler fight.

I'm biased = Kessler fan...

1. Kessler was not ready for ward at all
2. Kessler had his old trainer at that time
3. Ward did head butt and hold

Kessler would have lost without the head butts

I think Kessler has changed more as a boxer (with Montoya) than both Froch and Ward. He might have a chance against Ward second time around imo.

... If only the fight takes place in Europe...
(... and I agree with your comment -- even if I'm not a Kessie's fan)...

OK, but your fight against Froch is for 2nd place at 168, not only that but these guys fight in these big Arenas but yet they don't come close to breaking any type of Gate Records or anything which tells you that Tickets are dirt cheap just to fill up the Arenas

Ward just cleaned out his Division too easy and maybe too early so now he don't have any competition, when some real competition emerges and tries to challenge him, because you cannot be considered the best fighter at 168 without going through Ward...then he will get bigger fights and bigger paydays, nobody wants to see a guy just pick apart his competition easily every time he fights...OF COURSE THAT IS BORING!

Kessler is 34, Froch is 35, they are towards the end of their careers while Ward is basically just getting started and just entering his PRIME!

Are you a ****** or just a Ward-ass licking moron, Calzaghe vs Kessler in Wales = 50.000 spectators. Mundine vs Kessler in Australia = 20.000 spectators and now Froch vs Kessler II = 18-20.000 spectators

How many saw Ward-Dawson?? 6.000

You must be the ****** if you think they were there for him! Haha! I even mentioned Denmark.

If it makes you feel better i think Kessler tat is cool but he doesnt sell and sucks as a fighter.

Sicko:

Actually Kessler is doing excactly what the ward camp has asked him to do, in order to get a fight against Ward...

Ward will get the BIG pay day if he comes to CPH after tonight ;o)
