Andre Ward Boxing Style - A True Pugilist | Full Breakdown 

Roy in his prime he was a Beast

Roy is being nice and complimentary since he's no longer fighting, and I'm sure he meant it in part, but Roy in his prime would have beaten Ward, Roy was on another level of greatness in my humble opinion.

Dirty fighter imo. Leading with the head all the time. He throws more headbutts than punches at times.

I think the fact that GGG didn’t want none of Ward and is even on record saying “He is too much for me” says it all.

@@antonolufayo7804 yeah. don't have to argue with ward fan. just type ward dirty fighter and the first vid that came up is his headbutt and elbows compilation. second is him getting cornered and admit that he is a dirty fighter lol.

couldn't agree more!

Everything is situational in boxing. For example you can't always be on the outside using the jab. Ward understood that as the opposition got better, so would the use inside fighting swarmer type attributes, before switching back. That's what makes him great, is that he understood that so well. "formless"

Jai vu le mach rie normal je ne conprent pas cest renpons a croit !

@@BoxingLife amazing how learning and utilising every form is the same as being formless. Everything and therefore nothing at the same time!

Yes Crawford is right handed but fights as a southpaw

He just retired to early

He’s one of the best of the era for sure

cant forget those below the belt punches to the krusher

@@madi2005 I’d like to see him come back and fight Canelo! I think he still got a fight like Canelo left in his tank.

Dirty too also boring 🙂🤣😉😉🙂

All of his super six fights too.

Thanks. I am going to check it out.

Care to share?

@@bunnyman6321Blud is gatekeeping💀🙏

That is the reason boxing is a dying sport, because fans do not like jazz. You could not pay me the PPV rate of $79.00 to watch a Pernell Whitaker fight.

@@rkg1930 I know you wouldn’t because you don’t know boxing. The object is to hit and not be hit.

​@frankdixon4112 the objective is to win if your way to win is to outbox and jab at range for 12 rounds straight, fine you like boring fighters.

@@faithalone5081To hit and not be hit is the round by round objective and if it is achieved you get the win. I love knockouts also however not everybody is going to go down but in the process of outclassing your opponent by hitting him and not letting him hit you, you get the knockout are you not just as satisfied?

@@frankdixon4112 knockdowns are 10-8 round even if you get outstruk fighting specifically as an outboxer and counterstriking makes it significantly harder to ko people because you depend on straight punches more when people blitz in.

Glad you enjoyed it!

My same sentiments

Yeah especially as Rodriguez was trying to make it messy as possible, yet Ward continued to bully and pick him apart!

It also highlights that you can win a fight with the jab. He jabbed beautifully and everything on top of that made it an landslide

​Gilly Isilly that fight, Golovkin vs Lemieux, Floyd vs Castillo (especially the body jab), and Usyk vs Joshua are some of the best examples of that.

Thanks glad you enjoyed it! Yes a very good ring IQ!

@@BoxingLife is nobody going to be mention the low blows,elbows, headbutts and gifted decisions.He never fought outside America

ANDRE IS ONE OF THOSE CHEATS WHO MAKE BOXING A CHEAP AFFAIR . HE'S EQUAL TO MAYWEATHER IN CHEATING AND THE OFFICIALS WHO OFFICIATE IN HIS FIGHTS .

Watch it and break it down smh wtf

Cheers Billy, glad you enjoyed! Yup much better now!

Haha, glad you enjoyed! Yeah feeling a lot better now, will start posting a bit more now.

Man of GOD also..🙏🔥🥊💪

Irish Andre Ward was as tough as his ancestry is known for

@@JuanFlores-yj3vx The gospel means “good news”. The gospel is the proclamation of who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only. The entire Bible (Old testament and New Testament) foreshadows and proclaims who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only (John 5:39, Luke 24:44). Jesus is the Son of God (John 3:16), fully God and fully man (John 1:1 & 1:14) and second person in the Trinity (Matthew 3:16-17). The gospel is God’s testimony concerning Jesus as revealed in the Holy Scriptures by the Holy Spirit which proclaims how Jesus the Christ (John 1:41, Matthew 16:16) was born of a virgin (Matthew 1:23) and born under the law to redeem His elect who were under the law and save His elect from their sins (Matthew 1:21, Galatians 4:4). God’s elect /sheep are the people past, present and future from every tribe, tongue and nation God actively chose to redeem/ justify/save based on Christ. God chose in Christ before the foundation of the world was laid according to the good pleasure of His will for His glory (Revelations 5:9, Ephesians 1:4-5). God actively created and chose a people from every tribe, tongue and nation before they were born for salvation whom God has always loved because of Christ and only Christ (Romans 8). God’s elect are vessels of mercy prepared beforehand for glory to make known the riches of His glory (Romans 9). God’s elect/sheep are God’s chosen vessels of mercy that are Jews and Gentiles because of Christ. (John 10, Romans 9:23-26, Hosea 2:23) God is Holy (Isaiah 6:3). God’s law is holy and good (Romans 7:12). The law of God demands perfection in word, thought, and deed at all times (James 2:10). The law was given through Moses (John 1:17). The law condemned all mankind and brought knowledge of sin (Romans 3:19-20). All people are under sin and none are righteous (Romans 3:9-18). Sin entered the world through Adam and death through sin and death spread to all mankind because all sinned. (Romans 5:12-13). Jesus Christ is the Passover lamb without blemish (1 Peter 1:19) for His elect by God’s sovereign grace (1 Corinthians 5:7). Just as the Israelites were released from Egypt after the death of the firstborn (Exodus 11-13) - Jesus Christ the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15) justified all His elect at the cross from the wrath of God(Romans 5:9-11). Jesus willingly went to the cross (Philippians 2:8) and offered one sacrifice for all time for His elect He sanctified (Hebrews 10:11-14) as their representative and High priest. Jesus was crucified for the elect’s sin and raised for their justification (Romans 4:25). It pleased God the Father to crush His only begotten Son( Isaiah 53:10) and God the Father accepted Jesus’ perfect sacrifice on behalf of His sheep( Acts 2:23) . Jesus paid His elect’s sin debt and there is now no condemnation for those who are married to Christ (Romans 7-8). By Christ’s knowledge He justified all His elect (Isaiah 53:11) and finished His mission (John 19:30). All of God’s sheep will believe God’s testimony concerning Christ because Jesus justified them by His perfect sacrifice on the cross. Not one sheep Jesus died for will perish. Jesus is the good shepherd. Faith(believing God’s testimony concerning Jesus) is the fruit of what Jesus accomplished for His sheep. God’s sheep are righteous before God by the imputed righteousness of Christ provided at the cross as prophesied in Psalm 32 and fulfilled in John 19. All Jesus died for are regenerated at God’s appointed time to believe God’s testimony concerning Christ on who Christ is and what He did at the cross( Acts 13:48).

Yeah that's good one! Came up in the amateurs with Ward too I believe.

A nonito donaire breakdown would be awesome

This!!,,

I respect that man he boxes love his style that's why donito is still fighting he has fans behind him nothing boring like ward

The dude retired at the start of his prime years & with a weak resume of only 32 fights. He’s waaaay overrated. I guess he had to get out before he was forced to face Beterbiev 🤷‍♂️

My pleasure!

100%

Very very calculated .. if you know what your watching his style is masterful genius at work

No worries! Glad you enjoyed!

He was always within the rules of ABC associated boxing commissions laws and guidelines

Glad you enjoyed it!

Lil g ducked him 3x. That’s why Ward moved up and fought kovalev.

@@ritzkola2302 Different weight classes but If you want to say he ducked that is fine. Haney is ducking Crawford.

@@lukev483 Negative. This is when being an actual Boxing fan comes through clown. Lil g was being praised as the greatest mw ever (false), he was the best great white hope. Media was begging Floyd to fight him. And Lil g himself was continuously calling out Floyd. Lil g said he would fight ANYONE from 154-168. Ward saw the nonsense, heard the statement and called him out. 3x. Ward was going to COME DOWN in weight for the fight. 160 to 168 is a single weight division btw. Haney is at 135. 147 is TWO divisions removed from Devin. Poor try.

@@ritzkola2302 Ward is the great black hope. He didn’t do shit his entire career. How many hall of famers did he beat? Maybe 1 if he is lucky. Ward retired early like a bitch. How many weight divisions did he conquer- 2 how was he considered P4p # 1 when he was a two division world champ and never undisputed? Pacquiao was a 8 division world champ but for a while Ward was ranked higher on P4p list. Ward had two or three fights at light heavy and never defended his belts accept to Kovalev in a rematch. Kovalev beat him in the first fight and fouls him for the win in the second. That is not greatness but bitchness.

@@lukev483 Ain’t read all that lol. Yeah tho Lil ran from Ward 3x.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Thanks man! Yeah I think he was a lot closer to Bernard, also sure they use to spar at one point. I've actually already done one for Spence: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_jr2V3Bt60c.html

Yes sir!

cheating is cheating no matter how you call it

Much appreciated man!

Thank you my man!

Much appreciated Mikey! Glad you are enjoying the content!

@@BoxingLife enjoying very much so! I understand your channel states you’re out of the UK but I was wondering around which region? My grandparents are from Galway and Aran Island’s so your narration I instantly enjoy very much!

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed!

Just like how Ward breaksdown his opponents nuts

Too much brain dmg from hesdbutting constantly...

With what like 32 fights. Old timers had like 20 fights a year.

@@lukev483 He was great in his era, remember none of the top named fighters didn’t want to fight him. A lot of boxers avoided him after the tournament.

@@GURILLAPUD His best win is a low blow to Kovalev and the first fight he was robbed in. Even Roy Jones JR who is really good friends with Ward said Kovalev won the first fight. Busted up Kessler really good with his head. Ward is a dirty fighter. One of the dirtiest fighters I have seen next to Salido and Evander Holyfield.

@@lukev483 There just opinions, thoughts Floyd and Canelo lost more fights but the record is their record. What are we going to do?

@@GURILLAPUD A record is just a record like you say, it doesn’t mean much. Ward doesn’t need any more credit than he gets for retiring early not defending his light heavyweight belts and beating a punch of descent fighters. He never beat one great fighter. I am not even sure Kovalev is going to the Hall of Fame. He is way over credited for his career or lack there of. Usyk already surpassed his career with less fights. Both two weight world champs, but Usyk undisputed in one and the Joshua win is a better win than Kovalev. The size difference, the way he won and everything else shows me that Usyk is better than Ward. Not to mention he went to their backyards to beat them while Andre refused to leave Oakland for his fights except maybe the Kovalev one may have been in Vegas. You also didn’t see the constant fouling from Usyk.

Canelo would of iced him. Kovalev had him kneeling respectfully

@@rodbtw What happened in the rematch though lmao. I just think Canelo couldn’t walk down Ward, and Canelo doesn’t have the best of footwork.

@@SOLE_II_SOUL He low blowed and the paid off ref did not care

No Canelo too short to nut punch

Lol!!

Thanks man! Great recommendations and definitely will in 2022!

Thank you Will! Really appreciated and hope you enjoyed the video.

@@BoxingLife Thank you for your excellent work. I really enjoy what you do.

Casual

Its not part of the sport. its allowed for the home fighter, the rules are only enforced against the away fighter. Ward got away with it his entire career. not just klitschko esque constant clinching, lets not forget about all the headbutts, the lowblows, the elbows....

Mmm nope he is still the nutcracker ward

It's illegal...always has been

Grappling has been going since the 1920s in boxing . George foreman is another legend who utilized it alot

Love this man! Great to hear how by watching Ward helped you identify to adjust. Respect 👊
