Ward vacates 168, moving to light heavyweight.

I take it his management problem is over?

My biggest problem with Ward is he took a seat and has done next to nothing in four years. You can only reheat leftovers so long and then patrons want to watch you cut an onion. Ok. That was stupid, just went full Teddy. Never go full Teddy! But respects for going with Barrera and stepping it up. If he thinks this is another robotic lead foot Rodriquez he'll be in for a surprise.

It's definitely a decent test at 175 for him. If he wins in his usual horrible to watch way and being in with a bigger guy doesn't trouble him he is unfortunately going to do well against Kovalev. I'd love to see him get sparked though.
