Andre Ward should have been disqualified.?

I think Andre Ward should have been disqualified at the lest have gotten 3 points taken away from him. I have not seen a fight like that in a long long time . I grew up in a old school style gym so I know what I am talking about . As an armature fighter at any level you are taught to keep your head up not the crown of your head pointed at your opponents chest as when you are bobbing and weaving if you do lead with your head you will have points taken away from you and you will be disqualified. Now as a pro you can get away with more rule bending but what Andre got away with was criminal. Andre is an Olympic gold medal winner he knows how to fight you don't win a gold medal and not know the rules. Now as a fighter I was taught to do what ever I could get away with if I hit a guy low and the ref gives me a warning the first time that is ok because the damage is done now think about that for a minute . i have just taken something away from the other fighter that he can't get back. Andre did a lot of holding and hitting I mean a lot if the ref does not call it then it's not a file. The referee did a horrible job and should not be allowed to referee another fight. Now I was pulling for Kessler because I had seen him fight many times and I like his style of fighting but I was very disappointed in his inability to keep Andre at bay and his refusal to use his uppercuts when Andre lunged in. As a fighter you know when another guy is fighting dirty so you get with the program there is no sense in talking to the ref in the middle of a fight because he is to caught up in what he is doing so you fight and I mean you fight that was as close to a street fight as you will ever see. The sweet science who ever gave boxing that name knew what they were talking about. Let me say this great job Andre even though I was not pulling for you bad job on the ref and bad job on Kessler for letting an armature fighter beat you at your own game.
