    i hear guys on here say wards style is boring but i honestly think he is very entertaining .. his latest fight with edwin was a great fight. yes it was a bit sloppy especially at the beginning but that was edwin continuously holding

    Ward landed a lot of low blows, finally the referee took away a point...............when the fight started to finally heat up, the referee stopped the action to slow, or even stop the momentum...........

    Ward landed his best punch, his heat butt...........

    Not to me. Thought it was fun and a hell of a performance from Ward.

    If it was boring it was because edwin didnt bring enuff skill to the table. Ward just worked him.

    This.

    Though I actually thought it was a good fight. Scratch that, I thought it was an entertaining fight even though it was completely one sided. Good showcase for Ward, clearly illustrated that he is recovered from his issues and ready for serious business again.

    i literally just viewed the fight.. me and my mate saw no such low blows.. we saw andre ward absolutely SCHOOLING rodriguez with his amazing jab and hurt him in the 11th with a left hook, right hand , left hook combination

    the headbutt in the 12th seemed fairly accidental .. especially because rodriguez was rushing in to smother him all night (and i dont think ward needed to deliberately headbutt him.. it was the 12th round and ward had arguably lost the first round and thats about it)

    have to agree.. the ref did a good job of making both guys pull there heads in
