Thread: Ward V Barrera

Pleasantly surprised thus far. Good effort and good KD by Ward... caught Barrera a little off balance, but good shot. Good trading near the end of the round.

That was some awkward power shot off the top of head, solid. He's free swinging inside but is eating some stiff jabs himself. Good scrap

Never seen a ref order a fighter to apologize

looks like ward is settling into this now

Can't see giving any round to Sullivan just yet.

(I hate agreeing with Lederman).

Ward just boiling it down and showing some master class last few rounds. Barrera beginning to wonder more about what time the rental limo is coming.

Oh shit man? Ward with the low blow

I'd have to see that again, didn't look intentional, kinda funny the ref just calls it "vicious". Has been pretty clean for a Ward fight so far, if the fight were closer that coulda been huge.

SOG touching balls.

He seriously works the blindside with the beltline stuff, using some aged Hopkins kinship and that's not an insult very physical here

andre ward doesnt seem to use his right hand much, maybe i am imagining it though, is he injured ?

Final round! Like to see Ward shoot through the openings, make a statement. Very sparse with the right

Ok Ward.... you won. Now get off your ass and go fight Kovalev.

my score card is 116-110 for ward :S although i dont think he should have had a point taken off..

good to see ward back in action, I think he certainly needs one more fight before he takes on kovalev though.

I'm with you guys wondering about the lack of rights lol, maybe Ward was worried about counters, he seemed to get tagged off balance after throwing it big a couple times earlier. Overall a good fight, Barrera is a physical beast with some skills, but fairly rigid and was to slow.
