Unbeaten one of the pound for pound
kings 29 years old American Andre "S.O.G." Ward (26-0-0(14 KO) is coming
back after more then a year break to the big boxing. On this Saturday,
November 16, he will face 28 years old unbeaten Edwin "La Bomba"
Rodriguez(24-0-0(16 KO) rated number 1 in the Dominican Republic and
number 4 in the world in Citizens Business Bank Arena, California, USA.
This will be the title defense fight for Ward for his WBA Super World
super middleweight title.
Andre Ward last fought on September
last year. After that fight he had shoulder surgery and had almost a
year rehabilitation period. On his last fight he won against Chad
Dawson(31-1-0) by TKO round 10. Before that he won an impressive victory
by unanimous decision against Carl Froch(28-1-0) on the end of the
2011. Ward has very impressive record, his last six opponents were Chad
Dawson, Carl Froch, Arthur Abraham, Sakio Bika, Allan Green and Mikkel
Kesller.
Edwin Rodriguez comes to this fight
after impressive win by TKO round 1 against Denis Grachev(13-1-1) on
July this year. Before that he won by unanimous decision against
Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna(19-0-0) on March this year. It was an ugly
fight with big low blows and blows behind the head. Edwin Rodriquez lost
2 points in that fight for braking the rules. But in fact he was
dominating all the fight.
I believe this fight will be very
interesting to watch, because Ward is very talented boxer and he comes
from 1 year off, it is interesting is he still the same Ward, and how
will he deal with unbeaten powerful puncher like Edwin Rodriguez...
