Andre 病房did what Andre 病房does Saturday night at 的 Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA. He won 曾经y round against overmatched Alexander Brand, but a knockout seemed to be what 的对于mer Olympic gold medalist really wanted.

像工人一样的12轮一致决定成立了他的11月19日超级战斗与无可争议的轻量级冠军谢尔盖·科瓦列夫（Sergey Kovalev）进行了较量，后者从马戏团旁观看。

病房(30-0, 15 KOs)从一开始就控制战斗，闪烁的速度和 stinging combinations. Brand (25-2, 19 KOs) came into 的斗争 a huge underdog. He lacked polish 和 was basically brought to Oakland as a tune-up 对于 Ward. His heavy swings whiffed repeatedly. 病房worked over Brand’整个回合的身体。

In Round three, a 病房left hook opened up a cut on Brand’的眼皮。几秒钟后 he connected with two rib shots 和 later, a right to 的 head. 病房switched to southpaw in 的 last minute of Round five, lacing Brand with left hands.

品牌走进全力以赴第六回合中的猛击模式。他向沃德猛烈挥拳，谁也没受伤就跳了

病房connected with a combination to open Round seven. Brand dropped his hands 和 swung uppercuts from 的南边 of Oakland. 一 landed. 病房ignored 的 blow 和 continued to work.

In Round nine, 病房stung Brand with a left hand. Brand’右眼肿了。哥伦比亚人拳击手 was tired 和 eating punches. He looked embarrassed after slipping 和 falling near 的 end of 的 round. 病房smashed him 对于 his trouble. 品牌交错，但生存了。

Brand almost went down in Round 10. He was trying to be more aggressive, but his punches were slow 和 lacked conviction. 病房nailed him with two left hooks at 的 bell.

The last round was a carbon copy of 的 previous eleven. 病房pursued 和 punched, while Brand moved 和 occasionally fired some blows. 病房won 曾经y round but a knockout wasn’t in 的卡s.

All three judges scored 的斗争 120-108 对于 Ward.

“我们知道这个家伙很难被淘汰，” said 病房after 的斗争. “I didn’没办法，但是回合是好事。”

Kovalev, standing nearby as 病房was interviewed said, “He’s ready 和 I’m ready, too".

So are 的拳击 fans.
