Last
night, in front of a crowd of 7,818, 2004 Olympic gold medalist Andre
Ward [19-0, 12 KOs ] scored his most impressive win to date by
earning a wide decision victory over former world title challenger
Edison Miranda [32-4, 28 KOs ] in the televised main event of a
special edition of ShoBox: The New Generation.
The win came in front of Ward’s Oakland, California hometown crowd at the Oracle Arena, marking the first time in his career that he has fought there. Ward won by scores of 119-109, 119-109, and a much too close 116-112 to silence the critics who thought Ward as being too soft and not having enough power to keep the heavy-handed Miranda off of him.
