Should Andre Ward been disqualified against Mikkel Kessler

[slimshandy69]

Only Lomenchenko solido and Amir Khan Pederson were on par for disgraceful fights in terms of fairness.(both khan and Lomenchenko got robbed despite the cheating of their opponents)

If Ward fought like that anywhere else in the world he would have been disqualified imo, all of Kesslers cuts were via headbutts. Not one were due to Wards puches.

What you guys think, ward fought fair and square, or ward should have been disqualified?

[just the facts]

It's been done to death. If Ward received warnings he would have stopped. He won easily and beat your hero Froch by a large margin too

You forgot to add Wlad vs Povetkin to that list. That was worse then all of them.

C'mon man, a disqualification win in a fight u r losing is a W with an asterik*. Besides that's sad if Kesslers only chance of winning was/is by DQ. Nsb would love to see Andre Wards 0 gone so bad for some reason....

Ward's headbutt was vicious and flagrant, but the referee didn't take a point or even warn him so he can't be disqualified.

There's a big difference between the two fights, although I see why you would think the two actions are comparable. Wlad was consistently hurt Pov with punches and Pv kept coming in with his head down and Wlad did what any big heavyweight would do and he leaned on him. This led to Pov going down a fair few times but he wasn't damaging Pov with the leaning (good God never thought I'd defend that garbage excuse for a HW title fight).

Ward on the other hand was genuinely hurting and damaging Kessler with his head and most importantly his elbow After the cut, he just rammed his elbow blatantly in front of the ref into kesslers eye and the ref did nothing. It was terrible.

A poll is quite pointless on a site like this.

If he had taken a point early, the fight would have been very different. Since Ward wasn't penalized he was able to get away with anything.

This fight is essentially why Ward will not rematch. He is afraid that he'd get the same treatment in Denmark.

You forgot Agbeko vs Mares I

For a DQ to happen Ward should've been at least warned, even a hardcore Ward fan knows he should've gotten a warning. That fight is tainted, I think Ward beats Kessler but his performance that night was pretty reprehensible.
