    You're going to see Ward get the better of Kessler with his overall speed in the first half of the fight, in the second half you are going to see a very sloppy fight full of fouling mostly perpetrated by Ward without penalty. The last 4-5 rounds are painful to watch.

    I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually completely agree with Elmer on this one. All the headbutts by Ward weren't intentional, but the way he attacked shows that he does not care where his head lands. I know some smaller aggressive fighters would usually duck while throwing upper hooks, but you don't have to swing your head along with it. Ward obviously showed no concern for his opponent's health. Btw, I'm not a Kessler fan, and I believe Ward was the overall better fighter that night. W/ or w/out headbutt, Ward would win that fight convincingly. But of course, it could have been a better win if the fight was clean all throughout. I have just seen two worst headbutt fights recently, this one and Mayol vs Sosa, and both of them the victor deserved the win convincingly, but still it doesn't take out the fact that fighters should be mindful about the health of his opponent. The sport is already dangerous as it is.

    Your going to see a very piss poor Kessler get beat by Ward. Your also going to see some nasty headbutts, a lot of hitting while holding and an awful display of refereeing

    6 good rounds from Andre Ward as the American sweeps the first 6 rounds. Then Ward chases after a KO and things get very ugly.
