He's just lost and he needs to justify it for his confidence. Ward *did* intentionally headbutt, though, and the referee was awful, so Kessler does have a point.

Headbutts or no Kessler would have had problems with Ward.......but I tell you what - Ward has just thrown this tournament wide open. I had Kessler a big favourite going into this.

to jim grey.

"your a legend in my mind"

where's james toney at times like these.

You're correct.

My favourite before this tournament was Abraham and I'm sticking by that. Dirrell's going to give him trouble though.

he got outboxed from the opening bell.Don't think the headbutts changed the way the fight progressed. Kessler didn't look interested at all

going in i thought it was between kessler & abraham.

abraham is my new favourite.

ward a new 2nd favourite now though.

still a lot more to play out yet.

that's the great thing about this tournament.

kessler has froch and taylor to come.

so he's not out of anything yet.

Well that coverage was awful. So biased commentry it was rediculous.

What is it with these american fighters the there holding.
Kessler didn't perform tonight but wasn't aloud to.
Wish i hadn't stayed up really.

I backed King Arthur also and I havn't seen anything from the other boxers that could really trouble him. I think Ward and Dirrell could be tricky but Abraham should be able to adapt as he always does.

That's how I feel whenever there's a spoiler/headbutter involved. :(

Bernard Hopkins, Timothy Bradley, Andre Dirrell, etc.

The thing I'm most interested to see is what Dirrell does when Abraham explodes.

The win was never in doubt for ward - Get off your coronation street boxes ffs.

The amazing thing was, they were saying Kessler's punches were missing even when he landed. And they were all shocked when everyone gave the fifth to Kessler. Showtime were just desperate to have an American winner. Ward did very well though, although how he was allowed to get away with all that holding and hitting was unreal. Hometown ref.

I'm no fan of kesslers, and just wanted a good fight.

So do you like to see this kind of fighting Mancred.

I think a "grow up" would be apt here. I didn't say anything about the win.

Don't mean to be rude manc_red but you gave the first two rounds for Kessler, rounds that Ward clearly won, they weren't even questionable.[/quote]

I gave the first 2 to Kessler too. And have just watched them again and would give them still to Kessler.
As I have said I am no fan of Kesslers at all but that was the worst bit of commentry I have ever heard.

Kessler Sucks is a known Troll. He'll be banned by the 'morrow.

Thats the beauty of the opinion m8 aint it lol

I don't think Ward was a spoiler. What do you guys want him to do. He held at times like every fighter, but he was also was exploding with quick shots that had Kessler retreating constantly through the contest, and he was always keeping his jab working to the head and body. He boxed a perfect fight.
