Not really, because he won the fight...it's over, and that's what matters

[Kigali]

he clinched kessler 88 times and headbutted him 5 times. he was deducted points for fouling rodriguez

At least Ward doesn't hit fighters while they are down like Gigi.

Lol ts funny he keeps bringing up andres lack of power, that will not be the deciding factor in this fight

[bojangles1987]

Ward has more than enough power to win this fight. I hope for Kovalev's sake that he and his trainer don't go into this fight thinking otherwise. Ward can put Kovalev on his ass.

[The Hammer]

Ward is feather-fisted, but his headbutts are strong and can cut.

Will Ward have a crooked referee who lets him use his skull as a weapon?

Id rather a man hit me in the head when Im on a knee than hit me in the nuts when Im standing. Ward has had more points deducted for fouls than GGG has

How many points has Ward had deducted?

[PunchyPotorff]

John David Jackson talking a lot of ****. Like he's the one getting into the ring.

I wonder how many times we have to repeat this friend? Scribes are constantly after him for interviews. What's he to say? "Oh I doubt my guy Kov beats Ward, but hey we gotta do this fight, so..."

yeah a hell of a lot rests on who the ref is. Ward with a bias ref who lets him clinch and headbutt is one of the toughest guys in the sport to beat, take away the fouling and hes nothing special

Exactly. Glad to see a few fans bring up this reality... although I think Ward's better than some think he is. But no worries, we'll find out soon enough. I just hope like he!! it isn't some lame ref allowing a Ward hug n' headbutt fest all night long.

Yep

....and Ward landed 225 total punches to Kessler's 125 AND Ward landed 132 power punches to Kessler's 47. Very hard to clinch and punch at the same time. Both Rodriguez and Ward were deducted points in that fight. The whole story.

So, friend, you're ok with dirty fighters?

You don't need power to beat anyone with power. All you need is a will to win, a lil movement, a good body attack which Ward will do, and a jab. Ward lacks a right hand so he compensates by fighting smart and singles out your weakness and exploits it. We will find out more about Kov than we do Ward. Kov has never been in a rough and tumble fight with an inside fighter.

Ward takes punches every fight. Especially uppercuts and other counters. He'll definitely get a wakeup call soon enough vs Kov.

Ward is feather-fisted, but his headbutts are strong and can cut. Will Ward have a crooked referee who lets him use his skull as a weapon?

I just hope Ward gets a wakeup call and gets deducted points for that b.s. If you can't win a fight fair and square, IMO you haven't won the fight. I don't care what the official results say.

That's interesting because Jack Reiss was the referee when Ward beat Kessler and Jack Reiss was the referee when Ward had points deducted when beating Rodriguez. In which fight was Reiss crooked and has Reiss been crooked in the other 500+ fights he has refereed? And if he was crooked, does that include the numerous Golovkin victories he has refereed?
