WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (26-0, 14KOs) had predicted that challenger Edwin Rodriguez (24-0, 16KOs) would struggle to make the 168-pounds limit and he was right. Ward weighed 167.8-pounds at Friday's official weigh-in. Rodriguez, however, was pretty cut down and weighed two-pounds over the limit at 170-pounds. He has two hours to make the limit. The HBO televised fight takes place on Saturday night at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California. [Click Here To Read More]

rodriguez is a big kid, but he's not huge. i thought for sure that he'd be on weight. it had never crossed my mind that he wouldn't make 168. as far as i know, he's had no problems in the past @ 168.
he and stevenson are similar in stature, and that's probably a fair comparison. rodriguez has huge shoulders. i've seen him in a leather jacket in person, and he was big up top.
