Description : Here we have the Super 6 Showtime closed circuit promotional boxing poster from the tournament to decide who was Super/Middleweight Boss.
With a stunning victory in his hometown, Andre Ward proved he's ready for the world. Ward claimed the WBA 168-pound title with an unanimous technical decision over Denmark's Mikkel Kessler in the 11th round Saturday night, adding his first world championship belt to his Olympic gold medal.
Ward (21-0, 13 KOs) announced his arrival among the world's elite boxers with a dynamic thrashing of Kessler (42-2). The WBA super middleweight champion for most of the past five years was the early favorite to win the Super Six tournament, but Ward soared on a wave of support from his frenzied Bay Area crowd. In both fighters' debut bout in the Super Six tournament, Ward's speed, discipline and work rate gradually reduced Kessler's face to a bloody mess – although the longtime champion felt Ward also took liberties with elbows and head-butts. The ringside physician stopped the fight midway through the 11th round after looking at a growing cut on Kessler's face caused by a clash of heads.
Sweden's Mikael Hook favored Ward 97-93, while South Africa's Stanley Christodoulou and California's Steve Morrow both scored it 98-92 for Ward. The Associated Press also had it for Ward 97-93.
