Rodriguez was bombing Ward with really hard haymaker rabbit punches. They landed flush on the side and back of Andre's head.
It raises the question... Did the Rodriguez fight take something out of Ward?
Edwin recently blew out a guys eardrum. His rabbit punches pack a punch.
The reason I ask this is because rabbit punches can end a fighter's career. Look at Gerald McClellan and Joe Mesi. Rabbit punches ended their careers.
Also, is the Rodriguez fight the reason Ward wants to leave his promoter? I think Ward wants softer opposition... so he wants to be his own boss like Mayweather.
Any damage that Ward might have suffered has had more than enough time to heal. And anyone watching it knows it was easy for Ward anyway. Rodriguez is strictly second rate.
No

You guys weren't in the ring taking those rabbit punches. Edwin Rodriguez blew Jason Escalera's ear drum out... therefore he had to do some kind of damage to Ward.
