I thought Froch beat Kessler both times. Then again I don't rate Froch above Sir Joseph. Pauper Ward is lucky that he retired and gift wrapped him his most notable victory.Comment

I don't think it was Kessler's night no. But Ward's constant grabbing and head butting certainly didn't make it an honest, fair fight.from the ward fight? i don't agree with that. i just think he wasn't at the peak of his powers, the way he was when he was undefeated. by the time froch got to him the second time, he was a completely different fighter.
and the asskicking preceded the headbutts. ward would have walked away with that fight without any clashes of heads. you're probably willing to accept that, but i know a few [tunney, bat,] who don't.
He was much better in the Calzaghe fight, there are a few reasons for that. Even though it's rumoured he had a fractured hand. In Oakland, they play all kinds of tricks. And it worked.
Kessler had a couple of devastating performances right after Calzaghe, so obviously this isn't true.Comment

Kessler can't fight on the inside for anything. Ward was just too quick for him in there. He could punch and rough house with no recriminations.I don't think it was Kessler's night no. But Ward's constant grabbing and head butting certainly didn't make it an honest, fair fight.

I'd like to see Ward fight someone knew rather than Froch or Kessler.Comment

Fighting on the inside does not equate to head butting and clinching.
If they were fighting fairly, Ward would have been eating uppercuts like Calzaghe was.Comment

He wouldn't. Ward was way too quick for Kessler. He was timing him all night.
Kessler couldn't get those shots in because Ward closed the space so quickly which led to headbutts and all else.
Kessler was confused all night. I felt he should have employed some dirty tactics himself but he was way too polite.Comment
