Ward clamping on against Kessler

[asgarth]

PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES. Fighters who keep that in mind no how to handle "dirty" fighters ... they come prepared for it.

No offense, but you didnt really answer my questions.

And if the referee did his job correctly, why would someone need to be prepared for dirty fighters?
Mares wouldnt have been allowed to low blow constantly, same with salido.

Klitschko wouldnt have been allowed to clinch and grab as much as he typically does.
He actually got points deducted when he didnt fight at home vs jennings and povetkin.

Dont really agree with your sentiment that fouling is part of the game.

LoL @ a fan's "sentiment" ruining boxing FOR YOU. I answered you pertaining to the discussion at hand ... I'm not going into left field with you and your ridiculous views on "dirty".
It's a fight. Fighters prepare to win a war. Now you're claiming referees don't "do their job correctly"??
Sounds like you need to set up your own boxing league, hahaha!

Anyway, we agree to disagree. Ward was no dirtier than most fighters, but more successful at winning. I don't see disqualifications, citations, warnings, in his resume anymore than any other fighter. End of story.

I’ve consistently stated I’m no fan of Ward but he schooled Froch and after a close and controversial fight with Kovalev, he beat him decisively in the rematch. I wanted him to lose both times but it is what it is...

Ward may have schooled Froch but there was nothing close about his first fight against Kovalev and the only controversial aspect was the absolute robbery on the scorecards. I suppose you could say he won the rematch decisively if you consider low blowing your opponent into submission a decisive victory. Not to mention his one-sided win over Kessler in which he tore his face to ribbons by way of numerous intentional headbutts.

That was the beauty of Ward's style - he could adapt to any opponent. If he felt you were vulnerable downstairs he'd focus his attack on your balls. Conversely, if you left yourself open upstairs he'd be in there like a shot, headfirst billy goat style. He really could do it all.

Ward was basically the American Sven Ottke, except dirtier.

I agree. The first fight decision giving Ward the victory was a new low for American boxing and Vegas judging. Ward had to win the final 7 rounds to come out on top and he manages to win every one of the seven (against the champ) and they were all close rounds. WTF?

Here we go again...😂

The first fight was incredibly close. Ward stopped him in the rematch.

It was 3-4 years ago. Let it go man.

By the logic in this video, Pacquiao lost the second Bradley fight and should have had a point deducted against Horn. Just sayin

The OP was salty as f***.😂

Beat Kovalev decisively in the rematch?? lmao

[////]

I honestly don't think Ward has any "fans". People just pretend to like him to troll internet forums, get a reaction.

Especially the (nut shot, nut shot, shove him down as he bends over, ref waves it off) ending of the Kovalev fight.

For people who were already using him as troll material, that turned him into solid gold.

That was Golota vs Bowe but worse and he got a win out of it.

Beat Kovalev decisively in the rematch?? lmao

Decisive: producing a definitive result.

He stopped him...😂

How’s that not a decisive victory?
