Ward has the bad wrap for holding but La bomba is thebone that wants to hold tonight. Looks like he is having a panic attack in there.
Round 3 Rodriguez is walking into jabs and huge textbook left hooks on the jaw. Ward is really wobbling Rodriguez with some of those hooks, bending his knees and stepping back to anchor himself and set them up. Rodriguez finally lifts his right glove up by his cheek for defensive coverage, making the overdue adjustment to the hook. He still can't get past the jab. He tries ducking and body-feinting his way inside, swooping in but quickly backed out by a jab or missing his lead chopping rights and hooks as Ward executes a snap-turn. 10-9 Ward 30-27 Ward
