If you want to get down to it, Kessler isn't used to fighting a rough fight. He's well schooled in the 'European' manner, where your goal is to keep the opponent in your range, in an effort to get the proper extension on your punches. He's also fought mainly European style fighters. The only quality 'unorthodox' fighters he's ever faced are Calzaghe and Ward.
Very rarely do you see a lot of rough tactics or inside fighting in that style. He's not used to it. Therefore, it shouldn't be a surprise that he got roughed up.
I told anyone who listened that Kessler may have trouble adapting and is very uncomfortable on the inside. I also said Ward was very live, despite being a fan of Kessler and thinking he'd win. He had the ability to upset Kessler from the beginning.
He couldn't deal with Ward's boxing and he most certainly could not deal with the infighting. It's why he lost.
