has what it takes to be a real talent in the junior
lightweight (130) division. Perez possesses very

Masterful. Dominating. Stunning. These three words encapsulate what
Andre Ward achieved on Saturday night. In the third fight in the super
middleweight tournament promoted as the Super Six World Boxing Classic,
Oakland’s Andre “S.O.G.” Ward (21-0, 13 KOs) defeated Mikkel “Viking
Warrior” Kessler (42-2, 32 KOs) of Denmark in a dominating fashion over
eleven hard-fought rounds. Adding to his gold medal from the 2004
Olympics, Ward became the WBA super middleweight champ. This night was
a dream come true for Ward and a true nightmare for the former champ.
To make the win even sweeter for Ward, the fight took place at the
Oracle Arena in Oakland, California in front of 10,00 of his hometown
fans

Last night, Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) completely dominated Miguel
Cotto (34-2, 27 KOs), taking Cotto’s WBO welterweight belt along with a
lot of Puerto Rican pride in the process. The referee stepped in and
stopped the fight in the early part of the 12th round, giving Pacquiao a
TKO victory

Has there ever been a bigger fight to hit the Bay Area than the
superfight between 2004 Olympic gold medal winner Andre Ward (20-0, 13
KOs) and Mikkel Kessler (42-1, 32 KOs) taking place at the Oracle Arena
in Oakland, California on Saturday, November 21? Probably not. The
local fight scene is incredibly excited to have this very special fight
take place in their own backyard. .......MORE>>
