Ward-Rodriguez: Final predictions

Does Edwin have ANY chance of pulling the huge upset? Doubtful. There's nothing spectacular that jumps out about Rodriguez. He's decent enough, but very much out his depth here, even if Ward is rusty. Dre will win going away.

 

I figure Ward wins very clearly

I have a feeling this will be a dirty fight

 

Rodriguez won't win a round.

 

I don't have to know anything about the opponent. My first reaction is Ward by decision.

 

Ward will win, but Rodriguez will do far better than expected.

 

Don't know a thing about Rodriguez...but Ward is cancer to the eyes...so I hope he get brutalize and is never heard fromagain...

 

Ward easily. Edwin is an alright fighter but Ward is just too good.

 

don't forget to post your picks, again.

 

Ward UDZZZZZZZZ. I hope he gets mullered but I expect him to win and cause a spate of narcoleptic fits around the Oakland area in the process.

 

::

Ward lacks that superstar quality...plus he's abit downey.

 

::

yeah, Illuminati, what's up with that, yo?

 

Ward by a brutal unanimous decision.

 

:::: classic

 

I forget shit....

 

Rodriguez looks quite wild and reckless to me. The good thing is though is that he'll come to fight and will give it a go, but Ward's going to be too technical for him. He might even force Ward to open up a bit too and it could get a bit tasty, but as cdogg said, it could be a dirty one. There's a possibility this one ends early due to cuts.

Oh and I'm picking Glazkov to upset Adamek.

 

going to be a lot of headbutts and punches on the break... two guys who don't mind a dirty fight

 

Quite an interesting video here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26HwQHCCzYs&sns=tw

 

Ward decision. He's just too good at this point, but ring rust will show for the first 2 rounds.

 

Weigh-in w/ Rob Schnieder

http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/9979615/andre-ward-vs-edwin-rodriguez-weigh-in

 

Rodriguez is two pounds overweight

 

rodriguez already got the payday so apparently he is victorious before getting in the ring

 

Rumours are Rodriguez won't make weight. He'll get fined $200,000 apparently.

 

How much is he getting paid?? I would think that 300-400K would be his payday....

how much is Ward getting paid?

 

I read Ward gets $1.9m and Rodriguez gets $1.0m

 

if i was rodriguez Id Tell ward I fight at whatever weight i weighed in, and i wont pay any fine. if ward wants to scrap the fight over this then he can. ward has been off forever and people really dont give a shit about him at the moment. if he wants to waste a training camp and miss a payday over a few pounds then so be it. Rodriguez has leverage here if he plays his cards right

 

@danrafaelespn: Purses from Ontario, Calif: Ward $1.9M, Rodriguez $1M. If Edwin misses weight, will forfeit 20% (1/2 to Ward, half to commission). #boxing

 

Rodriguez looks tough and looks like he can take a shot, but I think Ward stops him.

 

So Rodriguez won't be stepping back on the scales. He's earning near enough $1million to fight Ward but fails to make weight. Be interesting to compare his purse to other challengers purses.

 

:twitch: Ward is overpaid...but that boring/dirty cunt has earned it.....how the fuck does Rodriguez get a million for this fight??

 

not much buzz for this. dont you guys guys realize rodriguez KOd GRATCHEV and is functionally fighting as well as he ever has. he's in his functional prime
