Ward gets easy win over Barrera in light heavyweight debut (The Associated Press)
Andre Ward lost a point for a low blow in the eighth and later drew a warning for an accidental head butt. Not even that was enough to slow the former Olympic gold medalist’s march toward a possible tight fight in his new division. Ward unanimously outpointed Sullivan Barrera in his light heavyweight debut Saturday night, setting the stage for a potential title fight against unified champion Sergey Kovalev.
