Sullivan Barrera and Andre Ward both ready for war!

Former Gold Medalist olympian Undefeared no.1 IBF light heavyweight contender Cuban Sullivan Barrera (17-0,12KOs) is ready and plans on making a war against former Lineal Ring Magazine and Middleweight champion Andre "SOG" Ward (28-0,15KOs) on March 26th on HBO Boxing from the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.

“I can guarantee the fans it’s going to be a great war. All these predictions motivate me to do what I’ve got to do. I don’t think Andre Ward is going to be the one that keeps me from fighting Sergey Kovalev. I think my power is superior to Andre’s. I’m going to punch at him. I’m going to wear him down. I’m going to try to hit him everywhere, and I think by the later parts of the fight, I’ll wear him out enough to be able to knock him out. Yes, I believe the inactivity is going to be the difference because in a boxer’s life inactivity is something that is very harmful to a fighter’s career, and I think Andre Ward will feel that. Once he feels that, I’ll be able to do what I do. On March 26, Sullivan Barrera is ready for war,” said Barrera.

"Barrera is a big body. He's confident. Seems to be a good puncher. We did not pick him because he's a soft touch. We picked him because he was going to get me ready and show me what this weight class is all about. If you look at my career, there's a place for tune-ups which I haven't had a lot of. You want to fight the best and if you aren't fighting the best, you want to fight the number one contender. That's what we're doing. said Ward.
