I just watched the post fight interviews, and the replay of all those headbutts. A few looked intentional, a few didn't. But I will say this. Ward was beating Kessler's ass without all those headbutts.
Kessler was a real whiner after the fight - and he didn't exactly put up a fight with the ref about continuing. Ward took his fighting spirit.
Best fight I have ever seen from Ward. That being said, I am not a fan of his style. Very quick hands, but he holds so much. Hard to watch and enjoy. Very effective tonight though. I would actually favor him and Abraham to take it all right now. The Dirrell-Froch fight wasn't impressive on either guys end, and Taylor is shot. So Abraham and Ward will probably meet down the line (whenever this tournament ends in the next decade).
I gotta say this though. Abraham aint no punk bitch. Ice runs through that guy's veins. If Ward tries that holding and headbutting bullshit with Abraham, he will probably get a headbutt back and a punch in the heart. Abraham is a BAD man.
