In the biggest bout of his career to date, former 2004 Olympic Gold Medal winner Andre Ward pulled off a superb performance to control the action against dangerous opponent Edison Miranda over twelve rounds at super middle for a points verdict at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA.

Fighting in front of a motivated home-crowd, Ward asserted his authority from the first bell and immediately staked his claim to being the bigger, faster, stronger fighter against Miranda.

Ward was constantly moving and never really let Miranda get set, peppering the former middleweight world title challenger with jabs and powershots to the head and body. More...

Aside from the big Pacquiao vs. Diaz card in Las Vegas, there was some good action in America this weekend starting off with the latest bout of Irish sensation John Duddy, who outpointed Charlie Howe at The Castle in Boston, MA.

Duddy, 25-0 (17), was coming off a horrific performance against Montreal based Tunisian fighter Walid Smichet in February and needed an impressive win. At 33 years of age with losses to the only name fighters that he had faced, Joey Gilbert and Cornelius Brundage, Howe, 17-5-2 (9), was handpicked for the purpose.

Not surprisingly, Duddy had little trouble practicing his arsenal against the Midwesterner, finding range to both the head and body with equal success with very little coming back in return.

Howe was hurt at times but the big hearted fighter never stopped trying against his more skilled foe, landing a few good shots here and there to keep Duddy from running roughshod over him.

After the bout ran it's ten round course, Duddy was awarded the victory on marks of 100-90 on all three scorecards. More...
