Oaktown’s Finest – Andre Ward reps the Bay with a win!

Saturday Night, March 26^th at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA.

Andre “S.O.G” Ward (29-0, 15KOs) chopped down the tree that is Sullivan Barrera (17-1, 12KOs), in a one-sided fist-fest for his light heavyweight debut. Ward attacked Barrera upstairs and down with quick efficiency. In Round 3, the Bay Area crowd rose to their feet when Ward delivered a quick left which sent Barrera to the canvas. Ward was simply the quicker of the two fighters, landing left hooks with clear efficiency. In Round 8, Ward lost a point for a low blow. Barrera would try to respond but would get a left hook in return, which put Barrera back into his defensive shell.   In Round 10, Ward would suffer a cut over his left eye, due to an accidental head-butt. Ward would go on to win a unanimous decision. The scores were 117-109, 119-109, and 117-108.

Featherweight Joseph “ Jo Jo”Diaz (20-0, 11KOs) maintains his undefeated record after a unanimous decision win over Jayson Valez (23-2-1, 16KOs). After sustaining a cut under his right eye in the 1^st round, Diaz returns fire, tagging Valez with body blistering combos, early in the 2^nd. Diaz stays more accurate and active although eating several of Valez’s straight rights in the 4th. The scores were 99-91, 98-92, and 100-91.
