This past Saturday night, Oakland Raiders Head Coach Hue Jackson spent the evening helping out with the festivities and taking in some championship boxing in Carson, Calif., as Oakland's own Andre Ward successfully defended his WBA super middleweight title against Arthur Abraham in a Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament match.
"It was a tremendous honor to be in the corner of one of Oakland's finest athletes, Andre Ward," Coach Jackson said. "At 24-0 Andre is chasing perfection in boxing and his life, and this organization is and will continue to do the same."
Ward won the Light Heavyweight gold medal for the United States in the 2004 Athens Olympics.
