The last time 2004 U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Andre “S.O.G.” Ward walked into a ring in San Jose, CA as part of FSN’s Best Damn Fight Night Period, he was still just a barely more than an amateur fighter. With just four fights under his belt, Ward was still learning the nuances of being a pro and how he would have to prepare himself for a shot at a title.
The lessons have been learned. In a fight airing on FSN on Thursday, March 27 at 8:00 PM local, Ward (14-0, 9 KOs) looks to build on his undefeated record and propel himself into the realm of top title contenders.
In a 10-round super middleweight bout, Ward faces a tough task, taking on Rubin “Mr. Hollywood” Williams (29-3-1, 16 KOs), a Detroit brawler who has proven tough to knock down and promises to come out swinging against the Olympian.
In the undercard, two up-and-coming fighters square off in a six-round junior middleweight fight. San Francisco’s power punching Karim “Hard Hitta” Mayfield (5-0-1, 5 KOs) battles rising star Francisco “Chia” Santana (8-0, 4 KOs), who hails from Santa Barbara, CA.
Best Damn Sports Show Period’s Chris Rose hosts the fight night. Award-winning announcer Rich Marotta calls the fight alongside analyst Sean O’Grady. Emmy-award winner Bob Steinfeld produces the fight for FSN.
