Ward expertly managed the fight and began to unravel his opponent in the third round when he caught Barrera with a counter left hook, dropping him to the canvas. The rest was a routine victory for Ward, who scored a dominating dispatch of Barrera by way of unanimous decision after 12 fihodinana. Ward looks forward to a formidable challenge in Brand who is now the only obstacle in the way of his anticipated showdown against Unified Light Heavyweight World Champion Sergey Kovalev in the fall.

 

Bogota, Colombia native Alexander Brand (25-1, 19 Kos) turned professional at the relatively late age of 32 following a long and accomplished amateur career that saw him tally over 400 Fandresena. He burst on to the professional scene in 2009, scoring knockout wins in his first 12 fights and winning 15 ny voalohany 17 bouts inside the distance. His first and only professional setback came via an eight-round split decision loss to current WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Badou Jack in a 2012 fight that many ringside observers thought Brand had won. Hatramin'izay ady, Marika efa nandalo fitsapana peratra rehetra amin'ny manidina loko, notching eight consecutive victories. Ao amin'ny bout farany, Brand faced the sternest test of his career since the Jack fight when he fought a favored, undefeated and highly touted light heavyweight Medzhid Bektemirov on December 5, 2015 at Osceola Heritage Center in Kissimmee, Florida. Brand weathered an early Bektemirov blitz, including recovering from a first round knockdown, and notched a 10-round split decision victory by the scores of 98-91, 98-91 ary 94-95. The 39 year-old Brand, who has held several regional title including the WBC Latino Super Middleweight and the WBC Silver Interim Super Middleweight Championships, will be looking to pull off another upset on Aogositra 6 and thrust himself into light heavyweight title contention.

Fredrickson dominated the first round and it was looking like an easy night as he scored a knockdown at the end of the frame. As Fredrickson went in for the finish, he was a little careless and got caught with a perfect counterpunch that sent him the canvas for the first time as a pro or amateur.

Fredrickson nampiseho ny tapa-kevitra ny ho tompon-daka eo amin'ny fanaovana, came back in round two and landed some booming shots that hurt Santiago and the fight was rightfully waved off.

“Lehibe izany fianarana traikefa,” hoy Fredrickson avy amin'ny voalohany

“Faly aho ny fandresena, ary mba hanome mpankafy ny mahafaly fampisehoana. I’m going to get right back in the gym and look forward to fighting again very soon.
