Prior to the Andre Ward vs. Edwin Rodriguez official weigh-in inside of the Ontario Airport Hotel in Southern California on Friday afternoon, I shared a few words with Rodriguez’s promoter Lou Dibella.
As the conversation turned to another one of Dibella’s star fighters, middleweight champion Sergio Martinez, I could tell that the dialogue was about to change drastically.
Martinez is still looked at as one of the top fighters in the sport, but he is coming off of less than stellar performance against Martin Murray this past April that saw him hit the canvas before rising to pull out a close unanimous decision victory.
Now 38 years old and dealing with his share of injuries, some insiders feel that the Argentinean’s best days are behind. Meanwhile, WBA titlist Gennady Golovkin has seen his stock skyrocket over the past year with a slew of knockout wins.

Moments ago, in Ontario, Calif., WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (26-0, 14 KO’s) weighed 167.8 pounds ahead of his clash tomorrow night on HBO against undefeated contender Edwin Rodriguez (24-0, 16 KO’s).
Rodriguez is confident coming in the fight but failed to make weight on his first attempt, hitting the scale at 170 pounds. No word on whether Rodriguez is going to make a genuine attempt at shedding off the extra two pounds.

During a recent visit to the Mayweather Boxing Club, I was caught off guard momentarily when I spotted junior middleweight veteran Rashad Holloway in the building.
Always one to pledge his allegiance to his adopted hometown of Los Angeles, Holloway is in the city helping his friend Shawn Porter prepare for his Dec. 7 title shot against IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander.
Holloway (12-2-2, 5 KO’s) last fought in June of 2011, winning an eight-round decision over Jhon Berrio, and has spent the past few years recovering from a shoulder injury as well as exploring other business endeavors outside of the boxing.
But like many fighters, the itch to give the sport his best continued to nag at Holloway.
