As a Ward fan it's a bad fight

[MDPopescu]

Shameful man!

Nobody needs 3/4 tune-up fights to be ready!

Ward has came back to cash out its blatant to see!!

I don't know...
Ward is mysterious...
He may think that he is able to pull another "Kessler show" against Kovalev...

Ward entire career is pointless don't you think?
A true champion is willing to face adversity and challenge someone in his own backyard Ward has never been good enough to do that, Ward has always been the favourite in his fights because he has everything his own way.
I think Ward fans get very touchy, sensitive when people tell them about how average he really is no real world class fighter would have to clinch your best fought opponents to get a win its just absolute desperation tbh.

yeah i agree 100 percent. Is beyond boring. How can anyone defend his last 5 years i dont know Having one good fight scheduled in 5 years doesnt make him some fearless warrior, and the way he fights is horrible to watch.

God forbid If he does that again I'm done with him If he does that I've refused to watch his last three fights but If boxing allows another horrible show like that to happen again without DQing him it will show how corrupt this sport still is.

he's fighting hte best 175 lber in the world, and a p4per, after this one. you gotta complain about that, too?


hbo, ward's team, nobody cares about what you think about his tune up fight . it functions to keep him busy and injury free before he fights a naturally bigger guy who is one of the best punchers in boxing.

if you think ward was close to getting disqualified against kessler, or that a DQ qould have been deserved, you have no business watching a boxing match. fanboys have tried to create a narritive that ward was fouling all night. in reality, both he and kessler were doing the holding by the end of the fight, and the cuts didn't open until kessler was already insurmountably behind on the scores.


disgrace doe. that narrative has been created by people who were embarassed by how badly kessler was taken apart.

Lmao how can you even defend Ward for what he did?
Trying to pass it on and blame Kessler... Ward constantly came in with his head to clinch, he should have been DQed but he wasn't because once again bias prevails over in the States.

Ward clinches to make up for his lack of true boxing skills I'm telling you in a clean fight Ward would likely have got beaten to a pulp by Kessler, GGG is more talented than Ward.

ward held 88 times bro. we have video. you don't think 88 fouls warrants a dq? stop with your "both sides did it" false equivalency. it was ward who was holding. maybe kessler held onto ward after ward started holding him to keep his balance but thats not the same thing now is it?

watch the fight again and tell me all fo the clinches were intiated by ward.


as for he head clashes, i never said the guy was perfect. there were head clashes, and there were cuts.

i have said that head clashes aren't an indispensible part of ward's game, and havent' been a factor in most of his wins. you guys seem to think he needs to hold onto people for dear life and headbutt to win. he doesnt! watch the fights! andre ward actually tries to keep his hands free inside. he clinches, but he doesn't want a ref to break. it's within the rules to punch when you've got a free hand. kessler was doing a lot of holding himself.

i did say that headbutts had nothing to do with the outcome of the fight, as it was very obvious by the first cut [7th round IIRC] that kessler couldn't touch ward, and had lost every round.

because he's a fanboy? there is literally no way for his favorites to lose a fight except a knockout loss. no matter what happens in ward-kovalev ward will win if he survives. same thing in floyd-pac when pac landed the much cleaner punches but it was a boxing masterclass by floyd ummm ok? his fanboyism makes him blind and when his favorites cheat constantly he blames the other guy. he just sees what he wants to see its that simple.
