Boring fight. Good win though. Nice KD in the 3rd. Hopefully the cut heals quick and we can see him fight a Shabranskyy in July before Kovalev in November.

Originally posted by richardt View PostWard.....one of my favorite fighters but he seemed tired as in not sure how long he wants to keep fighting if you go by his facial expressions but that could be mostly getting back into things. But that right hand was missing and that is a concern. He did not use that hand 20% of what he normally does, if that. But I will pull for him against anyone, Kov included.

Class in Session
Andre Ward was too experienced and too talented for Barrera. He took Barrera to school and was just on a whole other level.
Andre Ward wasn't he at his best. Their was rust for sure and a little fatigue. Andre Ward should fight once more before Kovalev. But it's great to see him back.
Barrera wasn't ready yet for this stage. He still has promise but hopefully he will get back into contention soon. Personally I would like to see him vs Slava.

First off.im very surprised ward doeant get drug tested. I said it all along in the build up.
Now, barreras games plan ****** and he never imposed his size and will.
Ward looks to clinch too often and the game plan for kovalev is simple. Be first and throw straight punches. Throw to the chest area often . The goal has to be keep ward fighting for all 3 minutes. Take him out of his slow methodical pace

Nice performance by Ward. Barrera had never seen something like this before. Maybe he can learn from this and turn it around.
