Preview: Kessler vs Ward

[gatsu2005]

fuck your mother WARD!!

[seansherk1]

El mejor de los SUPER SIX , en mi opinion '' WARD'' va a ser el campeon del Torneo¡¡¡ fuerte rapido e inteligente en el ring ....el tiempo lo dira .

Ya derroto a ''Kessler'' el supuesto mejor de los Super Six ...

[chrisdotwynn]

I like Ward, and I think he fairly won this fight(unlike Froch and Dirrell) BUT, I can argue that the fight wasn't to Kesslers strong points. Ward was moving in and staying close to Kessler, keeping him from loading up any powerful shots, but thats just good boxing. I won't say that Kessler was holding anymore than he should have, and I will say that Ward instigated most of the holding situations.The headbuts were very unfortunate, but accidental. Even still, Ward won this hands down.

[JakobElboel]

Roederbaby, I could'nt agree more.

You can say whatever you like about Kessler, but Ward should have got some points deducted.

[ROEDERBABY]

Where is Ward from again? Ah, USA. And the referees? Also USA? What a coincidence. This was so unfair and the referees didn't even see the faults Wards did during the fight. USA won because of that - otherwise he'd lose too many points doing the shit he did.

[aanderson66]

he was up 6 points on two cards. that means he would need 6 point deductions to get a draw. the fight was not close. the ref was not punching kessler in the face all night. ward was. kessler didnt cry when the ref stopped the fight. he wanted out. look at his body language when the fight was stopped. only when the mic was in his face he began to cry and say he could continue.

[Pildskadenz]

Go Kessler :P DENMARK ROCKS!

[AimForTheH3ad]

this bothers me..

i have no sound on my computer.

but isn't it in this interview that ward says he is a christian, and then kessler says something like: well, if that will make him a better boxer then be it

[marcusmagice]

Typical American fighter is right. Because everybody knows we are champions.

[NenoBrown24]

These Europeans definition of a coward seems to be someone who slips and ducks punches.

[marcusmagice]

@NenoBrown24 Amen to that. But remember how they fight wars. They come right at you in rows hence the massive casualities in European wars.

[r3d3y31973]

Most of the killed in our latest wars have been friendly fire by you Americans. thats how great you are!. Marcusmagice you red neck piece of scum you realy need to stop posting so much total shit on forums you sad sad little man.

[ProsVSHos2009]

lol kessler sucks, even the judges had it a land-slide. you can say whatever you want but the end result is that a over-rated kessler got his faced busted up and lost his belt and the same time lol.

[marcusmagice]

@Grisbaz right and Canada sucks dick too. I bet if you closed our border and stopped trading your shitty country would beg to be annexed by us. So shut up and sit down clown.

[MandoGuerrero2]

The US is like Mexico these days my man. No jobs, no money, but great boxers. Ward surprised me. Bad stoppage, but he would have held on anyways.

[Grisbaz]

^^... yeah right.. Canada ^^

[JakobElboel]

Andre Ward was the best fighter against Kessler.

But homeadvatenge has a lot to say.

Kessler will take Froch's belt and then hopefully get a remacht with Ward in Denmark.

[YoungGuns93]

Ward wasnt the best boxer, i fighted dirty! and couldnt win in a clean match!

[ProsVSHos2009]

what lol it was a blow-out kessler was just out-gunned, the same with dirrel against froch. the americans are too fast for these slow europeans.

[BoxedSince1990]

Ward is a fucking dirty jewbag boxing gaylord asshole. I swear to god, that fucking racist cunt of a bitch whore will die next time he meets kessler he fucking heatbutted him 5 times that fucking cunt. Kessler would have won.

And, are you fucking retarded you stupid dbag!? The hurt eyes was the biggest factor in the fight you cocksucker, Kessler couldnt see, are you mentally depressed or something?

Watch Kessler win super six and you'll cry bud.

[kez1979]

Kessler was comprehensively outboxed... get over it. I'm Irish and totally neutral.

[primeraprim]

dont chatt a load of shit you cunt hole,,,even if it had gone to points watrd would have won!!!!! you bum licker boxedsince1980suckedcock

[primeraprim]

KESSLER = A BUM and a COWARD.

Kessler can only just squeek past a RUGBY PLAYER called Anthony Mundine! Even Feather-fisted Sven Ottke who is a Plasterer and Industrial Clerk KNOCKED OUT that BUM Anthony Mundine! pathetic! Who did Kessler ever beat? Who is Kessler? He is unheard of outside Denmark! He should stick to fighting BUMS in Denmark!

[Bonelocen]

The one who's allowed to continue to use his head to make damage will win. So my bet i now on Ward since he's great at using his head without anyone having a problem with two big cuts. But hey, like the once again stupid american commentators said "it wasn't a factor in the game" hehe. But hey Ward won but hopefully next time he won't be allowed to keep diving and using his head like that...or only next time he's fighting in US.

[rtclr]

I don't care what happens as long as Carl Froch gets his ass whipped!!!!

[ethanhenry]

how dissapointing. Kesslers worst performance hes ever had. Ward did well but i didn't like his rushing in with his head and holding a lot without the ref breaking it up. Two unlucky headbutts ruins another fight just like barrera vs kahns was.

[wendel88]

@ethanhenry i agree it was very rude and a ugly fight.. i dont like ward now at all and he was holding like crazy..very annoying to watch..and very annoying for kessler for sure..the rushing with the head first was just completely without class and that won Ward the fight..really not a champion move at all. shame on you Ward.

[poppedjacks]

@wendel88 kessler is a ROBOT like fighter. he would have lost regardless of the head butt that came in the 8th round. he was getting beat up from the first and to the 7th. his arms went out on him in the 6th he had no more speed. GET OVER IT. ward kicked his ass. jeez u cry babies.

[wendel88]

@poppedjacks qoute from espn comments " Kessler looked old and Ward looked over-rated and scared. Ward ran for the majority of the fight, held when he wasn't running, hit on the break, and intentionally head butted at least 5 times. These are the acts of an over-rated fearful fighter....not a Christian warrior as he hypocritically claims to be." thats right on

[poppedjacks]

@wendel88 I just looked for that ESPN quote and couldn't find it ANYWHERE. oh i KNOW where it came from? YOUR IDIOT mouth whoooohahahaha still can't get over how ward DESTROYED poor o'l kessler huh? by the way i have the fight on my DVR it was 2 head butts. one early on that didn't break the skin and another one in the 7th/8th. if they stopped it because of the one that was early on he would have STILL lost the decision to ward because he was getting beat THAT BAD. awesome show by WARD.

[wendel88]

@poppedjacks under ESPN comments from fans you moron. the guy that said that got it right. i really dont see how you can call this "beat that bad" Ward changed the fight with his headbutts..dont you got a soul ?? dont you deep down feel like ward was really not the right winner..kessler couldnt see most of the fight since the first butt in round 3. surely that makes it easier to "beat" someone up if you take his vision from him. not classy

[poppedjacks]

@wendel88 just wait in till they upload the vid on here. u LOOK FOOLISH and i doubt that u even saw the fight. kessler did get a nick on his eye but it was in the 4th round and it came from a RIGHT HAND by ward. they bumped heads in the 5th. and then bumped heads AGAIN in the 7th/8th. GET A LIFE. kessler LOST. and the fight was actually EASY for ward mahaha. kessler told his trainers he couldn't see because he WANTED OUT. he didn't wanna fight ward anymore. he couldn't bully him.

[Bonelocen]

Hehe Wendel88 stop trying he's too dumb :D

[Gold3nStat3KiD]

wendel88 your delusional and know shit about boxing! If you had boxed before or saw alot of boxing in real life, you wouldnt say shit about that unintentional head-butt that caused the firt cut. Now would you even complain about head butts! Ive watched alot of Ward's fights and thats how US fighters fight. They swing their heads alot. Its just that Kessler like he awlays is...stood his ground and got plummeted! On some real shit thought...Kessler underestimated the young OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST.

[Bonelocen]

Hehe again you keep posting dumbas :D

[Bonelocen]

Headbutts yes, but like the commentators and Ward said. It wasn't a factor, it was only two small cuts right. Kessler should have stopped holding HAHAHA ohh wait who wants to keep holding with two big cuts and a Ward keep rolling his head in them. Ward holds every single time and used his head, he won and that's it. But next time mayby a judge will tell him to not use his head ;)

[wendel88]

@Bonelocen yeah i have a very bad taste in my mouth after this fight..i mean Ward even got his head up before making contact with kessler to make sure he hit him the right place..it was like street fighting. the first thing Ward did when they got separated was to look at kesslers eyes and eyebrows..talking about unsportsmanlike actions..wow..Ward should be ashamed.

[drock285]

who will take Jermain Taylor place in this???

[wendel88]

@drock285 i think it will be Bute or Allan Green

[drock285]

allen green i can see that, thanks

[aanderson66]

what fight did you watch to think ward held more than kessler?

[lassedw]

@aanderson66 the real fight, where ward was holding more then kessler

[aanderson66]

kessler got his ass beat. there's no excuse for it. it's old news so get over it.

[Steeluv]

I believe Kessler to be the great fighter, he can win this competition, I think its not going to be an easy fight but Kessler should beat Ward.

[badintentions2]

what makes this tournament interesting is that none of the fighters in it can be called complete fighters.

its hard (and sad) to see the man who dethroned bernard hopkins end his career on such a downward slide. taylor's a different fighter now.

i tend to agree that an abraham - kessler final is a good call, but it will be interesting to see what ward can do tonight.

[popletsog]

ward will win on points. he cant ko kessler. ward is a very easy person to pick in this fight.

[jonascool1234]

kessler is going to kick wards ass!!!!!!!

[SUPERAT64]

Kessler by decision? Very unlikely:

Referee:

Jack Reiss (California), a judge in Ward's last fight.

Judges:

1.) Tom English (California), judge in various fights with Ward, never with Kessler.

2.) Steve Morrow (California), judge in numerous fights with Ward, never with Kessler.

3.) Stanley Christodoulou (Southafrica), referee or judge in various Kessler fights, never with Ward.

In other words: Kessler will need a KO to take his WBA-belt home.

[gdamnn]

Yeah it doesnt sound biased at all :D, Ward doesnt strike me as anyone who would stand a chance against Kessler, in a normal fight. Ward might survive all rounds, and going into the ring Ward probably has that objevtive, hes going to be defensive.

I might seem biased as well, seeing im from Denmark, but Kessler really should be a massive favourite here, and even with the judges.. just leave them no chance...

[kallebille]

They have changed one from california to judge from sweden ..

but but but, is it a joke??.. Kessler will ofcouse knock him out..

I love boxing, but wont pay so many moneys to see this fight, cause i know ward is going dont in 3 - 5 round, trust me.

[mudd619]

Ward is alleady now history.

[daniel977]

Kom så mikkel smask den fucking abe!

[eguil52]

ward is going to ko kessler!

[shogunwarlord]

i think kessler will win

[TheCannonrun]

Ward is done !!

[ponderer23]

kesslers gna destroy ward

[TourDeMagie123]

i think you are correct i have kessler vs abraham in the final.
