ANDRE WARD'S SCHOOL OF BOXING: WHAT TO DO WHEN FACING AN OVERLY AGGRESSIVE FIGHTER 

I love how when he hits the bag he visualizes the guy hitting him as well.

Andre Ward was/is tremendously technically skilled in boxing. Remember watching him fight where he had his lead hand a few inches in front of the left side of his chin and his right hand to the right side of his chin and he would punch, pivot, slip, Bob, and weave without ever deviating his basic guard position!!! Awesome boxer!!!

Ward is a beast!!! He dont get enough credit cuz he is mad humble, and aint flashy and down talking other fighters.

Bring the camera back some; I would like to see his foot movements while he's throwing those punches.

Now that’s how to work a heavy bag. Constant movement, and meaningful, but not overly aggressive punches. He’s a true master. Very rare to see anyone work the bag like this anymore

Ward is one of the best to ever do it a real student of boxing 🥊 he could do it all inside keep it at range rough u up and even outfight u 💪🏾👊🏾

He could've taught Broner this before he went against Maidana!!

Every now and then I come back to videos of a number of boxers training (Andre ward being one of them obviously) and it gives me another spring in life. Beautiful display of skill man. Just beautiful

good lookin ben love videos like this

Soldier of God !

Andre is a masterpiece.

Underatted strength n power

As an old irish fighter and irish boxing historian...I wish mainstream boxing fans would realize that this man is Irish. His father was Irish. He died when Ward was young. But its almost like you have the best of both worlds....black athletism with that good ole irish heart and chin! God bless Andre Ward.

Andre Ward is a beast!

The punch combo at 0:24!!! Man that is beautiful, gonna try this now at mma practice in a minute, see how it works

What makes Ward so lethal is how much he learned from his last loss at age 9. I like Wards boxing brain more than even Floyd, because Ward has more balls, imo. I like Floyd, just, he wouldn't have fought a Kovalev. (Castillo was close but he wasn't a killer) Most importantly is how he fights under pressure. He is good like Porter up close, but has great timing and range with his jab. I'd love to see him fight again,but his insight on boxing is so grand that it's a blessing either way he goes - hell make a great commentator /coach.

THE "S.O.G's" CLASS IS IN SESSION!!!!👍👏

Damn. Beast !

AMAZING TIP FROM AN AMAZIN BOXER....I SEE him using this move a lot on ggg cause ggg doesn't have great reflexes an ward has blinding jab speed

I notice how he turns his punches over thats how you get the "snap" sound on the bag, means you're hitting it properly.

Beast you gotta love ward true gentleman, cool guy love to him fight one day

He’s got a really good triple left uppercut to the groin. It worked really well in stopping Sergi Kovalev.

Amazing technique.

beautiful

Some nice 👍🏼 low blows there as well also at 25 seconds in. He should put a pair of trunks on the bag so he could be more accurate in getting the groin area. He missed the elbows and headbuts in those combinations. I don’t see much of his clinches either though.

Amazing technique

Sensei ✊

WOW NEVER SEEN THIS PRICELESS FOOTAGE,ITS LIKE WATCHING PICASSO PAINT!!!!🥊

Ward looks like he has sneaky power. Short, crisp, stabbing punches. No big wind up or bag slapping here.

this is crazy. yall don't understand what your watching

skills wise, they're quite similar, id say on par with eachother. The difference between rigondeaux and floyd though is there concentration. Floyd is concentrated in the fight the whole way. He knows his oponent is always dangerous. While rigondeaux gets too confident and too comfortable, he puts himself into cruise control. In other words he gets lulled to sleep easy when he's winning.

Rigondeux is the best out of the five from a technical standpoint. He does everything right. Hopkins knows how to control the pace and rough you up and turn it into a dirty slow fight. 20 punch round. Broner is a flat footed stocker. He needs a lot of work but is hella talented. He simply needs to be in the gym more. He

Andre ward is a true gentleman

Boxing wise yeah I can accept that.

WoW I learned so much. When facing an aggressive opponent, dip out and do some Katas , got it 👍

beast

when is ward next fight

Very sharp...

Intensity!

I AGREE.

I watch this every once in a while to see how to properly use that bag

Andre was smart not sign with SMS. That messed up a lot of careers. J Prince is the man with the Plan.

Yup

I believe that prime Andrei Ward will defeat Canelo,He is a smart fighter.

The fall away jab to the body is pretty much free. Not strong, but hard to read if someone is doing it right.

Andre Ward never leave the fundamental not like others fighters , sometimes work some leaving heads down u pay ,

Thanks, Ben....I love shit like this.

A humble floyd mayweather

THE TRUTH!!!! SECOND BEST BOXER IN THE WORLD!!!!!!

rigondeaux to me lacks short shots and combination punching things that are mastered by guys like hopkins, mayweather, ward, toney.... the defense and counter punching of rigondeaux is excellent maybe second to none but he isn't busy enough and i think he could have knocked out donaire if he had the short punching of mayweather he could have got him out there and he doesn't go to the body well... i see rigondeaux losing if he moves up weight and fights mikey

I need that andre ward instructional dvd asap like freddie roach has, ill pay for this guy to trains, the best pure boxers out now are 1. Floyd 2. Ward 3. Hopkins 4. Rigondeux 5. Broner

He got some bigger boys to fight indeed with his weight class increase those punches he is throwing may hurt those middle weights but not those light heavy / heavierweight fighters. He should just out box all them move and utilize every boxing skill- trick in the book he has it all to be the best in the world.

its too bad thats not what most people go for, andre ward is about as underrated and underappreciated as they come

Ward is a slick fighter

I appreciate the free game

who's at 174 worth moving up to fight

Which Everlast gloves is he using?

Aha so i turn around and hit the bag so that he gets scared away. Seems cool ty very much.

No.1 P4P in my opinion

The son of god speaks

👌🥊

Broner?

and decision wins oh how i love decision wins there's nothing more exciting than decision wins bro !! SO EXPLOSIVE THEY'RE KNOCKING GUYS OUT LEFT AND RIGHT WHOAA

That shoulder feint works

Fuck he looks good! Very nice and clean work

what does he say?

What to do when facing an overly aggressive fighter: Be Andre Ward and beat them up.

don't forget about our boy Andre Dirrell

His right body punch looks off but im sure it doesn't feel too good

BAD MAN!

You can see his punches coming that elbow showing how’s it coming

He needs to fight on PPV. He shoulda fought on PPV when he defeated Chad Dawson. He has a terrible promoter

A machine

What did he actually say?

Good Stuff

Precision. That's Ward's number one talent. I wonder how he'd have fared against Calzaghe?

Ward in for a fight the 16th... I don't think it gonna be a walk in the park he gone drop a few rounds this fight to Rodriguez... dudes tall lanky just as ward and got some skill also definitely should be a good fight and he's young undefeated as well.

Ward vs GGG @ 168 who wins?

We were Robbed of the Golovkin fight smh would have been epic

Looks painful for his opponent 😟

Look'n good

Could Hearns have used this advice?

Waiting for the advice part, Ward is obviously a great boxer but he didn’t really explain how he deals with overly aggressive boxers, he just started throwing some jabs to the body and some feints then a bunch of combos but didn’t really explain anything or why he does that and why it works.

Reminds me of winky wright

How you got Broner over Marquez for five pure boxers? Somethings not adding up.

GET BACK IN THE RING ANDRE. A CHAMP NEEDS TO FIGHT

DAMN STRAIGHT, YOU STUDY EM

I think k he was too crafty for GGG but against Cannelo its pretty close not sure

P4P he is the best

Mayweather, ward, Wklitcho, guillermo, mikey garcia or pacman for the 5th spot

Andre Ward, the only fighter who could actually give Mayweather a tough fight, but I don't think Ward could make 160. Ward is perfect for his career, amateurs, Olympics, and professional! I would like to see Ward vs Mayweather @ 160!!

There was nothing like really stand out about Andre wars but he always got it done.. but he shoulda faught ggg and canelo but he did call them out just was bad timing

He won't challenge himself so we will never know.. He's taking the safest route to success which pays off for his career, but ultimately will make him average at best.. He should be fighting at 175 by now.. He comes to the ring weighing 175, 178 as is.. He's a good fighter but he's not challenging himself..

looks good andre ward but don't think will be enough for ggg, there the style wont be an issue, the hard punch is the middle tool. very fast to get away from golovkin

pure boxer to me is slick, elusive, slippery, hard to time. marquez is a brawler/boxer not a pure boxer, he gets hit a lot, bleeds in almost every fight, been in too many wars, PURE boxers are not in wars they dish out boxing clinics, one sided beatdowns and finish the fight with the same face they came in with.

Quality bag work. Too many boxers just tap bag

P4P! 1. Floyd, 2. Rigiondeaux, 3. Ward 4 B. Hop, 5 Tim or Broner! Got 2 c there new fights that's up

Ward wasnt a power puncher...he wasnt slow or fast...he didnt have a great chin... he didnt have great head movement... Wards strengths were timing and adaptation and control /smothering techniques...spinning, creative forearms use, trapping arms..head control...shoulder bumps and low blows if that's what it took... he was ok or good with alot of things...but his greatest attribute was he was a nasty fighter

ward will school him different levels, andre is much more talented and intelligent
