Hurricane Candlebox moves to 9-3

Andre Ward (22-0) cruised to a unanimous decision victory last night over Allan Green (29-2), giving Joel M's Hurricane Candlebox a much-needed quality win. Green was expected to challenge Ward with his power and athleticism, but Ward showed himself to be the stronger man, often pinning Green against the ropes and ripping hooks through his guard. Ward may be the best Super Middleweight in the world. Joel M earns Option A: 1, Option B: 2 and Option C: 15 with the win. Hurricane Candlebox moves into 3rd place.
