Why do referees permit Andre Ward to use illegal tactics?

[The Hammer]

Remember Ward vs. Kessler? The referee didn't say anything about Ward's obviously deliberate head butts.



We saw the low blows right in front of the referee last Saturday night.

Why do the referees permit it?

Kessler Kept his head on the center line which you never do in boxing. That's how you get hit. I think it's funny these guys have a hard time landing punches but headbutts are somehow easier to land. All boxers get away with crap.

As for excessive holding, **** hasn't been called on in over 60 years. I ****ing hate this sport sometimes because of it.

This is a pretty obvious foul that Weeks was completely in position to call. Hardly "borderline"

Probably the same reason they allowed Hopkins to get away with the same exact tactics. Still not sure why, but when you are part of boxing royalty you are extended certain privileges that others are not.

Home cooking. It happens in the UK, it happens in Germany, it happens in Japan and it happens in the USA. Boxing has always been like this and I don't see it changing any time soon

Why was Kova allowed to rabbit punch and chokehold? I'll hang up and listen.

biggest disgrace in boxing history.
