Andre Ward In Ring Demonstration 

until you get punched in the face and you realize watching youtube videos didnt teach ya shit

tbone pumper fr you have to feel those kind of things like pressure slipping ducking the hard part is to react to these techniques subconciously which takes years and years of practice

@@tbonepumper5623 you gotta start somewhere!

That rhymed and I agree.

I rate ward but he doesn’t have really good power but might have been because of his shoulder issues

Cool stuff Right

virgil is the guy that taught him, i think hes the best right now in boxing, no more eddie futch

Right. Ward is a fucking Professor. He know how outbox ppl. Fast hands, Fast footwork, Amazing defense. Virgil Hunter with Roger Mayweather is one of the best boxing coach in the boxing.

RagingBull1991 i dont mean this as negative towards the mayweathers as coaches and trainers but besides their family i havent seen them do very well, then i look at virgil and how bad khan looked before and now with virgil he looks much better, i def think its a match up for fighter and trainer obviously you know that too since you box and khan with a very offensive minded trainer like roach was not a god fit, khan was a wrong match cause he with his suspect chin needs to be more cautious on defense and roach isnt a great defensive coach or atleast he doesnt stress it that much, i watch pacquiao against de la hoya and his defense was ok, but now he has gotten very lazy in his defense with that cover up and trade thing manny does now, but i think virgil teaches the small things as well as anyone in the game probably the best

brad harris Completely agree with you. Khan in the last match against Alexander was so so good. Faster than before and with good defense. Chin is his problem, he was dominating against Garcia then Garcia got lucky with that hook also because khan went completely opened.

RagingBull1991 yea but im from philly and know danny a little i cant say yea to that , but danny does have a tendency to land those sweeping counter hooks , at harrrowgate they used to have tourneys and he did it al the time, now hes working on that right to the body left hook to the head, seems to be working

Andre ward is also not only younger, faster and overall a better boxer than GGG, but he is also proven and more accomplished. Ward was an underdog going into the super six tournament where he basically schooled everybody he wasn't suppose to beat. Ward also won an Olympic gold medal and in the process beating the gold medal favorite Evengy makarenko who at the time was captain of the russian and was also a 2x world amateur champion. GGG is not only older than Ward, but has barely beat anybody who is world class level. people often claim that ggg may be just as good of a technical boxer as Ward because of his amateur background. But why is it that despite GGG allegedly winning 350+ amateur fights he was never able to win gold in the Olympics, instead he got out classed and lost the gold medal to a russian amateur boxer.

TheExecutioner67 I co-sign everything you said and thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's good to hear an intelligent well reasoned comment. Peace.

Yeah Andre be using some of that Bruce Lee style!

Fantastic fight tho

@@DroPz100 no stfu

why r u fighting him soon?

funky juggles haha nope. But if you've been in the ring you cant help but appreciate these details he gave away.

it didn't sound like that. He sounds that you are thankful that they "GAVE AWAY" not that they give you valuable information.

its kinda douchy the way he asks great black fighters go give away their game like that. hes not asking kovalev or ggg that kind of shit. its like when they send someone to join a particular gym so they can spy on another fighter.

@@elcochiloco385 GGG and Kov - neither of whom are great fighters. They're good. Ward is a great, Floyd is also a great, there's a big difference between the levels.

I could to tell you never boxed before casual

Jonathan Polanco Who?Because I have boxed

@@Ghostdog198 so mike tyson is a complete package and not ward? Lol

Nope

Bit of an old post, but this really stuck out to me. Its inspiring. If you dont mind me asking, what made you pick up boxing at 54 and want to compete?

Man this is so inspiring

@@johnv7968 Sorry, i just now saw this... I was run over by a Lincoln town car traveling approximately 40 mph. I was trying to get a mentally ill person out of the street. I was hit square in the stomach. I was bleeding internally on the way to the hospital and just made it in time to go into a coma from loss of blood. I was told i was 1/100 to survive. I had 6 inches of small intestine removed and 4 herniated back discs. I had been working in LE as a corrections officer. I could no longer restrain people when the need occurred without risking serious damage to myself. I left my job, but i still wanted to be able to defend myself and others if a situation occurred. I found that with boxing you stay loose and strike and i could do that without it causing too much pain or risk of further injuring my back. So that's how i got started. I always trained before, but not boxing. I'm addicted to it. I'd like to be the oldest man to have his first pro fight. I know I'm in condition for it and i saw a 56 year old pro fighter on RU-vid out of Australia. I feel that I'm better, so if he can do it. So can I. ❤️ Also, like Andre, i like to fight on the inside and use my strength. The clinching and bumping doesn't bother my back.

Also i have a left torn bicep, tricep and pectoralis, and 2 torn rotator cuffs.. The shoulders don't bother me, the Dr said i had plenty of reserve strength as she could put all her weight on my shoulders and still couldn't push them down.. so i didn't have to have surgery. My left hand compensates for the other injuries as I'm naturally ambidextrous. Have a torn left hamstring tendon. Can't Sprint, but doesn't bother me the way you move in boxing. Also right thigh has some permanent shrinkage and numbness, but i pay no attention to it. So technically I'm partially disabled, but that only motivates me further. I already had punching power before learning how to punch properly. Of course I'm never going to be a world champion at this age, but I'd be dangerous to non dedicated average fighters i believe of any age. I just need that dream and goal to keep me motivated ❤️ I'm in the process now of trying to learn how to find a promoter interested in me. I think it's something people would want to see and be interested in. Some of them anyway. My motor skills aren't damaged from years of fighting and i wouldn't be fighting anyone world class. Plus they'll be surprised at how fast i can move and my stamina at this age. I live like a monk. Eat everything healthy, limit stress (no longer work) train religiously and through exhaustion. We all need something to motivate us❤️

That's inspiring, thanks. I used to train in a boxe gym some years ago and had to stop bc of med school (too much pressure, couldn't unwind with the drills and sparring sessions), now I'm out of shape and a bit scared of going back to it, but I really want to. If you manage to do it at 54, I have no excuses to not to try :)

lol jimmie

the guy's a beast man. i don't even think ggg can even touch him.

beatmajinsephiroth Ward hasn't face anyone with GGG technical ability and viceversa. It is a very intriguing fight between two thinkers. I know Ward wouldn't do the mistake of underestimating Golovkin.

id rather see ward vs kovalev. but id still love to see ggg vs ward. but its the only time ive ever agreed with tim lampley when he said ward isnt top 5 pound for pound anymore. if you dont fight you cant be considered the best. so no matter what his intentions or rights he isnt getting good fights and is probably getting ring rust. i love ggg but as long as ward comes back with no ring rust and is sharp as when he left i think hed beat the hell outta ggg. im more of a ggg fan but ward is so good at the little things that are hard to put numbers on. kovalev like ive been saying for 2 years is a beast like no other. imagine gg vs kovalev one day maybe. now that would be a show. they are both around 6 foot and people say ggg hits like a heavyweight

In time and if he continues fighting, Ward will be the pound-4-pound best fighter. His boxing prowess and technical approach is really impressive!

Before the Super-Six Tournament, nobody considered Ward as a threat. Without being conceited or arrogant, I believe, I was the only one who said he would win that tournament. I have been watching Ward since his amateurs years.

I know, that's some next level psychological warfare right there ha ha

You were right 👌

Good call

his knowledge on uppercutting nuts is even better

@@truejungian lol, nah. kovalev was just faking to buy time from the ass whooping..

@@TheWordOfTheStreet what you are saying is speculation.The uppercuts in the nuts are not

@@truejungian post evidence on your channel as proof. i bet you wont.. because you can't prove anything you are saying

@@TheWordOfTheStreet of course i won't, there is no need. The match is free to see for everyone. It didn't happen under some special angle, or super slow mo. Mind you, i am no Kovalev fanboy. I gave the first match to Ward. But the second match was an abomination. You either have eyes to see, or you don't EDIT: here's some food for thought /watch?v=yx7aHngA8wA
