Thread: Ward V Barrera

SHow is starting on hbo now, two featherweight fellows have kicked it off, a rather pasty faced puerto rican and jo diaz jr, who i think is hbos boy here,...

I am looking forward to seeing andre ward,even if no one else is !

ooohh nice work from diaz in the second round, he wasn't so active and then landed quite a few really good hooks and uppercuts and did a good amount of damage i think. Diaz was cut by a good straight right at the end of the first round though.

This fight is pretty good, diaz is winning fairly easily but he is short and the other fellow is occaisionally landing some really good straight rights on him and diaz has 2 cuts.

Nice little scrap and style mix so far, Velez catching plenty but back in it a bit 5th.

No one has congratulated roy jones on his great win earlier on this month.... bad work hbo...

diaz and velez are slowing down a bit now, I think this is going to the score cards.

Wow... good scrap here. Looks like Jayson is headed for a loss here, though.

I think diaz won just about every round there but a fun entertaining fight. Maybe it is a bit worrying for diaz that he landed so many really good punches and didn't seem to come close to knocking out this fellow, I thought he tired a fair bit too as the fight went on, it will be interesting to see how far diaz can go from here .

Ward's fighting next. Let me go get my pinhole projector.

Diaz better learn to get out of the way! but showed great punch selection. Very busy bit stationary. Velez did well to hold up. takes way too many clean shots again

They ring walking yet?

C'mon Barrera! Kick that inactive ass.

Glad hbo could interview Seth curry rather than Kovalev there. Not like they are building anything

I count 101 people in Wards corner

When did Ward say "I want to fight for a heavyweight title"? I like him even less now

pedestrian first, Ward just sizing up

Ward pretty straight up over two. Best work for Barrera was three solid rights. Ward best shot last left hook at bell.

nice ... ward knocks him down with a short punch there. I like it
