Review: 2013-11-16, fight not very ‘clean’ but pretty good: Andre Ward vs Edwin Rodriguez gets three stars. Both undefeated, the Dominican Edwin Rodriguez ranked as the No.4 super middleweight in the world, entered the fight with a record of 24-0-0 (16 knockouts) while Andre Ward had a record of 26-0-0 (14 knockouts – Ward is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since September 8, 2012 when he defeated Chad Dawson; currently the #1 in this weight division is Carl Froch). Ward vs Rodriguez is valid for the WBA Super World super middleweight title (title not on the line for Rodríguez because he failed to make the 168 lb weight limit). Watch the video!

Ward is a great champion but i hope he will fight more than once or twice a year…….however, among the super-middleweights he has already defeated everyone even though I would like to see a rematch
against Kessler or Froch (or George Groves if he can beat Froch…but i don’t think so)…
other dream-matches could be: Ward vs Golovkin (if the Russian moves up in weight class)…or if Ward want to fight in the light-heavyweight division the names would be: Adonis Stevenson or Sergey Kovalev
PS good referee in the 4th round
Very GOOD fight!!!
Andre Ward is awesome
