ANDRE WARD MASTER CLASS ON DEFENSE: "KNOW HOW TO USE IT AND WHEN TO USE IT" 

The lines of defense 1- Footwork 2- Head movement 3- Guard 4- Chin (last line of defense before getting knocked out)

Andre ward is the j.cole of the boxing game !! Wisdom always when he speaks !!🥊😎

What he said about trainers teaching you hands first instead of feet is so accurate 💯

Ward was such a great fighter! As he said he used his feet just enough to make you miss! Athleticism leaves u (Ali, Ray Leonard, Roy Jones). But skilled feet last, it doesn't have to be that fast if it's used at the right time (Andre Ward, James Toney, Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins) Canelo has good footwork to!

Fighters with no defense are for the casuals. I don't even consider a fighter who has no defense. Look at the fighters who have had longevity in the game (Klitscho, Ward, Sugar Ray Robinson,Mayweather, Fury, Ali,Holmes, Lewis.etc),they all had and have Good defense. For me you can't even be considered a boxer without a good defense (And a great chin is not good defense).

I didn’t become an Andre ward fan until watching his training videos on RU-vid. Man I missed greatness in action.

Dre is always class. Everything he says and does is a master class

True greatness. Him, Bernard, and Floyd are The three boxing masters of the last 20 years.

Juan Manuel Marquez said his dad use to make him and his brother Rafa walk around the house because “If you want to learn how to box you need to know how to stand.”

This short clip was amazing...this is why he's the man and was in his division. Great dude and champ🥊

One of the best I've ever seen. Good guy too, Big up Ward!

One of the best,big andre ward.always enjoy in ward fights.Legend

Hella useful information being given out from one of the greats. I feel like a lot of fighters these days learn how to throw punches before they learn how to avoid them same punches. Also lol at Shakur in the background doing his best Steph Curry impression.

The feet work all day. Training them all day for defense is worth it. Hard to get knocked out when you are balanced. Easier to tell when your opponent is of balance if you understand yours first. Love ward. Knew when to attack.

Gotta love this guy and what he stands for.

Love Dre, have watched and admired him since he was an Olympian, much respect!

Deontay Wilder could benefit from Andre's advice on foot work fr. Wilder's foot work is garbage

It’s call open mind!!. I admire this guy!!.my respect to him!!.

Ward is excellence in motion. One of the best boxing analysts today.

Great advice. One thing I dislike about my performance is lack of legs because I know it is very vital in offense and defense and can make a good fighter great

Camera man, when he taking about his footwork can you aim your camera towards his feet please .

Yup that's 100% correct, footwork is the main key for a great defense.

Dude is shootin' hoops while getting a masterclass in boxing? What an honor to be amongst an all-time great!

Just learned soo much frim just hearing this

Wonderful!

It’s different ways to get in the house !!! A gem.

Wow. Dre breaking down the science of this sport!

I'm a big fan of his ring science. His commentary is A List.

Great advice and love to hear that Eshon Burgundy “Blood Money” in the background .

"It's a Game of inches." .. ... So true. ... Excellent Defense, giving you FRACTIONS on an inch (away from danger).. that can make the difference in you getting "tagged".. or "POPPED"!

My fav boxer of his era..Man of God too..

I believe he’s one of the greatest fighters and best strategists in the ring

Waaaaaaay back when I was doing amateur boxing, footwork was the first thing my coach taught.

Andrea has always been forgotten when the great boxers are mentioned. This dude here, he is top 3 middleweight greatest. He is low key and so that is where his legacy stayed in a smokey cloud. Would be awesome to see AW come back to fight Canelo.

Outstanding video

Oh man. Just the one piece of advice could truly make you into a champion. Footwork footwork footwork

We need you more bro I can’t hear you where I’m at so plz make your way this way to New Jersey , jersey city Hudson county . Go to ring side the love will be there waiting for you .🙏🏼🙏🏼✊🏼✊🏼

love this

Kicking in the door analogy 🔥

What a great video

Andre ward is the goat in my eyes and I'm sure many of you will disagree but this man has probably lost 10 rounds at the very most in his whole career and this wasn't against scrubs either, his opponents have a combined win percentage of 90 percent. His opposition was actually great fighters that didn't have much popularity outside of their home countries and Ward put a clinic in all of those fights. Another fun fact: he hasn't lost a fight since he was 12 years old. People will never take that title away from Ray Robinson though because of Nostalgia.

SOG ANDRE WARD OAKLAND CALIFORNIA OUR CITY HE'S ONE THE G.O.A.T LOVE U BRUH

Let’s get it champ. 🤟🏽

some legit knowledge right there

Smart shit one of the best to put on the gloves

Ward will be a great trainer in the future if he wishes to pursue that career

The master..

LEGENDARY KNOWLEDGE

Good job

I like that house analogy with Clarissa

One of the greatest ever! Who definitely focused on defense! Salute

Man Andrea ward so clean

YES!

Ty sir

I hate the way it is, but if Andre SOG Ward was Irish Andy Ward he would be probably the most celebrated boxer today

It goes (in order of principle and importance) feet, torso, head then hands.

Ward is a 🐐

Nice

The most underrated Andre ward

Maaan my guy shakur come from a long way

Dre is the man

A Ward Myguy🥊

Ward is a true Master....

It's Shakur Stevenson casually playing basketball in the back for me 🤣

Dre is a product of Virg through and through like he said Virg is a old school mind and it shows through Dre

Masterclass

Great advice from one of he greats of the art! Salute!

Wow man that's genuis level boxing! The great Andre Ward, always loved him despite what all these damn haters say about him. He's fought enough to keep himself rich and healthy and I believe that should be the goal. Not smashing ur brain to nothing for these so called fans that won't care about u tomorrow after the body can't go anymore.

The good runner

Gold

🗣🤚🏾WARD Up!!!!

Dopest Great mind

Beautiful. A fucking grandmaster.

Ward is right about everything he is saying. He is a wise brother.

shame he's not doing a master class on his low blow and wrestling technique. people need to learn from the best!

Holding and low blows is what Ward can teach.

Highly intelligent

I watched Muhammad Ali Andre Ward and Oleksander Usyk to pick up a few things here and there

0:44 Does anyone know which boxer he is talking about, that was difficult to understand?

I grew to respect Andre Ward cuz he’s never lied to himself and always made accurate facts

Where the full video of the first clip? 🤔

💯

The master

S.OG 🔥

Glad Andre will be training Woodley

Shakur just soakin it all in w unc

Dre too underrated

Sog and virgil s meant for each other. Since day 1... The outcome!!!! Undefeated and a world champion... Sog....

Casual fans especially Mexican fans call that RUNNING...& REFUSE to learn the Difference between BOXING & FIGHTING

Years ago, after only Two years of intensive training in Boxing, Wing Chun/JKD, and a Smattering of "Preying Mantis," and a bit of Wrestling---I used to go out just Looking for a fight. There were a couple Taverns I would frequent. Let's just say, I created a bit of Extra-curriculer entertainment for the Patrons, now and then. A few of the guys I fought actually wound up taking lessons from me, because I always treated them with respect, despite the fact, I was beatin' their heads in. I would later tell them Why I started the fight. Sometimes I would just ask; "Hey---Ya' wanna' Sparr?? Let me Tell ya'...You cannot find better training in a School!"

hit and hug pega y abrasa floy school

Name of song at 2:27?

He is smart

Dam hearing the just one min of him I just thought of Bernard Hopkins.

A half step back can turn an opponents 73 inch arm reach into a 65 inch arm reach. Feet 1st

Andres a good man but he is also the product of the person who taught him so that a masterclass offering might be an overstatement if something left to be desired. That being said I'm sure there is some virtuous advice in there.

1:52 Great Analogy Teofimo Should’ve listened

"Do the same thing 10 different ways" one of em is gonna work

I feel like I feel a feeling when I feel how I feel youfeel me when im in my feelings. That's how I feel about feelings fellow feeler feel me feeling like that.
