OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST ANDRE WARD HEADLINES
BEST DAMN FIGHT NIGHT PERIOD
(MAR 25) The last time 2004 U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Andre "S.O.G." Ward
walked into a ring in San Jose, CA as part of FSN's BEST DAMN FIGHT NIGHT
PERIOD, he was still just a barely more than an amateur fighter. With just
four fights under his belt, Ward was still learning the nuances of being a
pro and how he would have to prepare himself for a shot at a title.
The lessons have been learned. In a fight airing on FSN on Thursday, March
27 at 8:00 PM local, Ward (14-0, 9 KOs) looks to build on his undefeated
record and propel himself into the realm of top title contenders.
In a 10-round super middleweight bout, Ward faces a tough task, taking on
Rubin "Mr. Hollywood" Williams (29-3-1, 16 KOs), a Detroit brawler who has
proven tough to knock down and promises to come out swinging against the
Olympian.
In the undercard, two up-and-coming fighters square off in a six-round
junior middleweight fight. San Francisco's power punching Karim "Hard Hitta"
Mayfield (5-0-1, 5 KOs) battles rising star Francisco "Chia" Santana (8-0, 4
KOs), who hails from Santa Barbara, CA.
Best Damn Sports Show Period's Chris Rose hosts the fight night.
Award-winning announcer Rich Marotta calls the fight alongside analyst Sean
O'Grady. Emmy-award winner Bob Steinfeld produces the fight for FSN.
