Should Ward have been disqulified against Kessler?

[cupocity303]

A simple and resounding - NO

[lopetego]

Ward needs to always fight in his backyard for a reason

[KickAzz]

Damn people going all out to discredit Ward.
He beat everyone he faced and could do it all again, just accept it and move on.

yeah he beat them, but with a very ugly style

[BattlingNelson]

Obviously you've never seen Mares vs Agbeko 1

That will be one for THIS decade. Not the last decade.

Only Battling Nelson and butt hurt Brit's think he should have. True story.

Only Battling Nelson and butt hurt Brit's think he should have. True story.

Which leaves Americans lol, and they're hardly going to say he should have been disqualified.

Anyway, there is a Canadian and I think a couple of Mexicans on the thread who think he should have been dealt with by the officials.

I like Andre Ward, he beat Froch fair and square but they did Kessler dirty in CA.

Isn't the rule that you get a point deducted for 20 clinches?

Ward initiated 90+ clinches and leaped in with his head 4-5 times and cut Kesslers face to bits.

Simple answer, yes he should have been DQ'd.

Jack Reese is one of the greatest referee's of all time.......We are lucky to have him in the sport. Jack Reese, Steve Schmoger, Eddie Cotton, and Arthur Mercante Jr. are all tremendous referee's and deserve to be in the hall of fame

[Jack Napier]

hell no
the headbutts obviously didn't do Kessler any good
but Ward didn't need that to beat him
Ward's a boxer but he's rough on the inside, shit happens
without the headbutts, Kessler still wasn't gonna win that fight

Apart from Smoger, those are some of the most rediculous refsin the sport.

Cotton in Lewis/Tyson - Wow!

Oakland, CA - Ward in the avi. Wouldnt expect you to have an agenda......
