just rewatched ward/kovalev 2 again for the first time in a long time

If it wasn't for the headbutts and holding I would agree, which pains me as a huge Kessler fan.

I thought the headbutts and wrestling inside was slightly overblown but many, like yourself, see different. One thing is for sure — Kessler just isn’t as comfortable on the inside. Calzaghe exposed that and Ward kicked it up a notch.

Slightly overblown?
" The referee Jack Reiss apparently said there were five unintentional butts"

5..

How the hell do you have 5 unintentional headbutts? And they all being on the same guy?

Fight was close; ward would do good work and Kov would land like a couple of power jabs to turn the round his way

Kov just has a bad gas tank and wasn’t prepared to go into deep like ward was

One guy knows how to fight inside, the other guy is clueless.

ward took advantage of his a-side status and great for him but he was not a boxer. if people weren't emotionally connected to him like cult members his career never would have happened. he took advantage of you

Kessler talked a lot on Danish tv about what happened that night.

But I remember in the first round seeing how sharp Ward was and thinking it would be a long long night.

I guess the SOG always has Jesus on his side but that night he had Tony Weeks as well. I saw repeated low blows with no warnings and no penalties.
As far a "master class" 2 judges had Ward up by 1 point and 1 judge had him down by 3. How masterful is that?
The icing on the cake was Weeks allowing the fight to end on a foul and refusing to even consider watching a replay.Ward fans will say "that's boxing" but any objective observer knew the Russian was getting the typical Vegas BS.

You can't accidentally headbutt a guy 5 times.

"Oops I accidentally fell down on your wife with my **** out 5 times. It happens"

You’re right, you can’t. Because it’s accidental. Could be the other either one’s fault. Are you done?
