I wish Chambers was co-feature too. They have 2 hours they can use it better.

[No Contest]

Two former Olympian, Ravelo got sparked by Allen Green right? He's from the contender, but I don't remember him at all. I got Ward, but Ravelo's ranginess could cause him problems.

[No Contest]

Ward comes out a bit sloppy and tries to bullrush Ravelo, but he's no chump. Both are feeling out a bit with the jab, really close through 2 mins, Ward looks a hair faster at this point and is getting off quicker, gonna give it to ward but it could have gone to either. 10 to 10 wouldnt be out of line.

Smoger is working like a fooool as of late,Ward needs to dismiss that "contender" show equation....Ward is looking sharp in counter mode,Ravello pressing him.

[No Contest]

Ward is having to reach a bit and could get caught because he is coming forward. This looks like a great matchup so far.Ravelo is coming forward but isn't quite fast enough to land yet, he's gonna need to feint and use timing. They trade some hooks and both land one, Ward thrw 1 2 that lands flush. Ward misses a lead left hook and almost pays for it...slip by ravelo..they are getting tied up with their footwork tripping over each other a bit sloppy. Another close one, gave it to Ward.

[No Contest]

Ward shortening his shots now and pressing himself. Ward is poppoing in and out Ravelo is behind on his counter due to Wards quickness...Ravelo has a decent left so watch for his laft hook, dont think Ward is afraid of the right because he is moviing towards it. Ward won it with cleaner shots. 3-0 Ward so far.

Check out all the feints for Ward. Foot feints, shoulder feints, just all sorts of feints. He works with them more then probably anybody in boxing I think. It helps him with the jab especially the jab to the body.

Once the ball gets rolling for Ward he'll switch to southpaw. It's where he has gotten his last few guys in trouble from southpaw too.

[No Contest]

Ward again is being aggressive, big left counter by Ward. Ravlo isntphased, and keeps coming. Double jab to straight right lands for Ward. Ravelo doesnt use his heaight enough and has that low left...Ravelo seems to have trouble getting off punches. Gotta give it to ward again,ravelo has to step it up bigtime. 4-0 Ward

[amat]

Good performance so far, I wish he would stop coming in squared but he is taking all the precautions when he does it. I agree with his corner, got to keep his feet under him. Yet he's boxing beautiful really and he's not getting hit coming in. Surprised we haven't seen him southpaw yet, but I imagine once he has Ravelo hurt or thinks he can hit he'll switch.

[No Contest]

Ward is just outclassing him at this point, but hasnt really hurt or wobbled Ravelo. Big loopin left hook land for ward, Ravelo didnt get too bothered by it.Ward moves to southpaw he throw a few punches and switches back. Why switch when your having so much sucess? He better not get careless. Another Ward round/shutout.

[No Contest]

Ward is getting his timing and landing more. Ravelo's chance to land a big counter is now, but he is never letting anything go in return. Ward is the smaleer guy controlling him with the jab. Ward is breaking him a bit Ravelo starts to back up more. Not the prettiest fight but you can't point the finger at Ward.

[No Contest]

Ward is sitting down on his rights, he may look to get the k.o. Ravelo hasn't offered much to keep him honest. Most of the punches Ravelo is throwing are glancing or arm shots. Ward has Ravelo on the ropes a bit. Easy round for Ward. Mismatch so far.

[No Contest]

Ravelo does not look like he wants to be in there anymore...unless he lands a prayer this one is in the bag...huge shot drops Ravelo liek a bad habit and the corner has to stop it because Smoger was about to let him get KTFO. Nm I think Smoger stopped it, he didnt see the towel I guess.

[amat]

There we go

Andre Ward is the man. Obviously he's in a class above Ravelo. I say bring it on. I expect someone like Allan Green next. Awesome fighter is Andre Ward.
