Comments Thread For: Weights From Oakland: Ward 174.8, Barrera 174.4

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Andre Ward is officially ready to make his light heavyweight run. Standing in his way is fellow unbeaten Sullivan Barrera, as both made weight for their HBO-televised headliner Saturday evening from Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.

Moving on from a lengthy stay as the World super middleweight king, Ward came in at a healthy 174.8 lbs. for his first bout as a full-fledged light heavyweight. Barrera - already an established contender in the division - was lighter at 174.4 lbs., boasting a top-heavy chiseled physique

That joke is pretty stale and pointless

Both guys look in tip-top form, hope we get an exciting fight!

If you think about it, this the first time since Froch that Ward's fought a guy without any weigh-in issues. Smith, Rodriguez, and Dawson all struggled at the scale, Barrera looks prime and ready as does Ward.

Also, they look equal in size. Barrera might not be the stronger guy on Saturday...

i'll be rooting for Barrera
