Barrera's style is perfect for Ward. We are going to see a stoppage here.

Barrera is good going to the body, he may want to invest in that come fight night.

Agreed, b/c those wide looping punches won't work in this one.

Better than Lil G vs Dwyane Wade. Amirite?

The little thing that tripped me out, during the press interviews, is that Andre Ward was freely chugging water throughout the entire media gaggle.

For a guy who's fighting this weekend, when most fighters would be well into their dry-out, that's astonishing. Wonder how Barrera is felling at the moment.

Looking forward to seeing the fight

I didn't realize that Jo Jo Diaz was on this card nice!!

GGG is fighting his mando. Ward is fighting Kovalev's mando.

Wade and Barrera both became mandos because fighters ranked higher than them were either injured or didn't fancy the job.

Take your pick.

He has size on Ward, but if Ward stay on his "A" game, he should have this one.
