Ward beats Barrera by unanimous decision, stays perfect at Oracle

Share

Just another day's work for Andre Ward.

In what he described as a "B-" performance, "The Son of God" dominated Cuban prospect Sullivan Barrera over 12 rounds of action, earning a unanimous decision victory (117-109, 119-109, 117-108).

Ward utilized his jab & a sharp counter left hook to keep his opponent at bay, dropping Barrera in the 3rd round with a perfectly placed shot to the top of his skull.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson & Draymond Green were on hand to support Ward, who improved to 29-0 in front of his hometown crowd at Oracle Arena.

A potential superfight with Sergey Kovalev looms large, although it appears likely Ward will take another tune-up fight before challenging the reigning light heavyweight kingpin.
