Andre Ward is #1. My boxing IQ just went up 10 fold.
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!
This is why I don't think GGG would beat Ward. Not only is he faster and naturally bigger but he is too versatile. Dude is talking about formlessness. Too smart and too many tools.
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
Ward is a professor of boxing. I don't know how much i would pay to have ward like teacher!
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
He literally is the complete boxer puncher. He has everything in his locker.
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
"...take you back to deep water...let you think about what just happened..."
Cool stuff Right
Intelligent boxer, just like Floyd.
Nope
Damn, Ward gave game away! This is even more thourough than what Floyd gave away in his episode, and i was thankful for that.
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.
The fact that ward is one of the smartest and greatest boxers and mentions Floyd so much tells you that greats recognize greats. Ion care what casual fans says they boring or not, until you box a smart boxer, and getting picked apart round by round you know how great they are.
Ward is the boxing ambassador of today!!! He is the complete package as a fighter. I say this because he is first a family man who loves his wife. He is well spoken and never has any controversy centered around him. He is highly intelligent and clean-cut. This is the man, as a fighter, he's a super boxer with good speed and moderate power. He can fight on the inside as well as the outside. His defense is superb. His hand/eye coordination is great and his ring-generalship is amazing! On top of that, he has the mental toughness of James Toney and Bernard Hopkins. I really do think he is almost willing to die in that ring. Right now, Showtime has the best fighters. I think Andre Ward is really saving HBO at this point. He is truly a class act.
Going to stick my neck on the line and say he'll beat Kovalev. 👊🏼
You were right 👌
Good call
Thank you champ. Great stuff from the best. I had my first bout at the age of 54. I trained myself and hired a trainer 3 weeks before the fight. I was a weight lifter and benched well over 400 and legs are very strong too. Lost forty pounds to fight at light heavy. I had to fight a 3 time national champion, still a novice though. He dominated me in first round. I was learning on the job, I started clinching and using my strength advantage on the inside and made a strong comeback and lost by split decision. I just learned a ton from this demonstration and definitely gonna use it if I get to fight again.
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 TH-cam 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 :)
Is Andre Ward set for the hall of fame? It'd be a shame if he doesn't get in there
The fans are trying to push skilled fighters into fighting the same fights you can see by typing "fight" in the youtube search engine and it's getting annoying and ruining the sport....
Love this footwork acknowledgement as well. This IS always the most important thing. You can defend by moving, rather than just blocking (I think these are the two best ways to defend, excepting offence). Feet and legs encompass much of power, speed, and economy of punching effort, depending on subtlety of movement. You often see Ward bending down to block, so he's blocked, possibly avoided, and put himself in position to throw (esp.) power uppercuts or hooks. If you do Muay Thai this can be used to roundhouse kick without stepping as well.
It's great hearing any fighter talk about the thought that goes into their way of fighting. be it boxing, martial arts or even chess :3
one thing i gotta rate Ward for. he learns from other fighters and will admit it. A true student of the dport
Ward is the complete package
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
S.O.G will go down as one of the greatest. Already is in my opinion.
He said that "philly crab" LMFAO 🤣
Ward is as good athletically as he is knowledgeable. Great fighter
He is amazing skill wise,his arms move at any angle,slick and fast the ultimate boxer
THE GREAT THOMAS HEARNS was the originator of that jab to the stomach... I watched him do that from the early 80's and incorporated that into my arsenal!
The interviewer did great.
He Beat The Breaks Off Edwin Rodriguez!
Andre Ward’s number 1 skill in the ring was his mind! That’s why this dude was such a winner, was in a ton of tough fights but always out worked and out smarted his opponents.
Andre Ward, an artist of the sport
young man seems like a class act.
absolutely, as good as any fighter today!!! no doubt, pound for pound...
3:24 student of the game ?
The jab to the stomach wasn’t originated by Floyd, practiced to perfection yes but it’s been around since the jack Johnson days it’s no new punch
Same thing I said. Ali threw a handful of them against Cleveland Williams.
roach and manny in the background..legends..
In my opinion prime 168lb ward wouldve cooked canelo based on better more proven competition at the weight on top of not giving his opponents 5 week training camps or hand picking a mandatory for a vacant belt plus his skills and iq are ranges better
smitty is cool always respectful to fighters not with the dumb childish shit talks straight boxing technique and knowledge good for boxing
maybe its just me but i look at andre ward as an even better thinker then mayweather and hopkins. that super 6 tourny was like nothing ever before and he went thru them like a hot knife thru butter. he needs to get in the ring. hes the most total fighter ive ever seen. EVER
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.
3:23 speaking of stealing from Mayweather, he stole money Mays whole In this Corner segment 🤣 starting w/ how he told James to switch southpaw
Best interview breaking down boxing!
Great video smitty
it's crazy how similar me and andre ward fight
That's a shame he doesn't fight because this guy is the complete package. However, people will forget him if he is still unactive. It doesn't matter you are the best if you don't fight.
Ward and Mayweather can't be touched!!
This man got the full package man hes so skillfull
pure calm class... champion fighter...champion human being... pure calm class!
Hate the game not the player. Fan of this young man for sure! : )
Him over golovkin by decision. He has more skill
One of the best of his generation. SOG!
extraordinary. will afford many gratifying viewings. thanks, SecondsOut.
Lil g don't want none of this.
Lil ward is a bum who knocked by bum Darnell Boone.
Look at the short punches he throws inside.
And the long reach-around shots from outside.
And how he cut the distance with the jab coming in against Dawson.
Mayweather is the blueprint for greatness
Every great boxer is the blueprint for greatness.
This is a absolute gem on TH-cam listening to a true master at work
a true definition of a Master ring of the charts a Zen pugilist SOG literally could beat kovalev six different ways
bad ass smitty!!
these are some of your best videos!
fuck this guy is good
Andre was good but not great. The way he fought against kovalev was really disappointing like he was afraid of actually fighting the guy Jesus Christ that’s your job. Then he proceeds to retire early almost like him and Bradley had a chit chat.
I love watching Ward fight. I just wish he had more power to stop people
Chris Reyes it's the right placement of a punch, not the power itself.
Chris Reyes Ward spends his stamina on 12 round fights, and inside game. Inside fighting is a lot more exhausting than throwing power punches, thats why Kovalev got gassed.
Mr.ward need to go for the kill more but save his gas ernest brown
I would pay $100,000 for training with andre ward.
Andre Ward is the man!! Can't wait for the Kovalev fight. SOG is my favorite boxer since Muhammad Ali!
IF YOU WANT TO BE A BOXER YOU NEED TO SEE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE, WARD IS GIVING HIS KNOWLEDGE HERE FOR FREE, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. I RESPECT WARD BUT IF HE EVER FIGHT SOMEONE LIKE GGG, BE SMART WARD AND BOX THE GUY IN AND OUT QUICK, DON'T LET HIM HOLD YOU IN THE ROPE'S, GGG IS DANGEROUS THERE AND YOU HAVE TO BE AWARE OF THAT, HIS PUNCHES ARE SERIOUS POWER.
Love ward but he didnt leave a huge legacy behind. His promoter dispute caused a huge dent in his legacy. Lost some good years.
Andre ward is a true master. Boxing needs him
Excellent seminar. I love what Smitty does with these shows. Thanks for the post.
"take you back to deep water let you think about what just happened" lol my guy
I know, that's some next level psychological warfare right there ha ha
Beterviev and kovalev are waiting for you Ward... Come on stop haiting..
My fav boxer right now I can learn so much from just watching his fights.
Hope he clears out his division by winning the other belts. Then maybe a catch weight bout with golovkin and then moves up to light heavy and challenges best fighters there (Stevenson, Kovalev, Hopkins )
The one big difference to Floyd and the reason why Ward will one day be considered the p4p better fighter is that Ward actually WANTS to fight the best
Mayweather ducks the best
To be honest, he's already cleaned out 168. It would be cool to see him unify but he's already beaten the other titleholders except Stieglitz
This Man is my fav boxer...Plus he's a christian like me..
Awesome.
lol jimmie
It seems Caleb Plant went to the master but didn't learn what the master taught....
Good footage, I love it!!! Andre Ward best P4P!!! 👊🏾 👊🏾 👊🏾💯
Ward speaks like a true warrior
For me
Mitt Work w/ footwork is the most real fight translation
@5:15 that's what Canelo was doing to Mayweather once he realized he couldn't get to Floyd's chin
yep
I've noticed a lot of fighters do it (seemingly out of frustration), but they don't stay with it. De La Hoya went to it for a little while too but he didn't sustain it for a period of time either.
canelo was an idiot or his team was... his gameplan was to try and box mayweather......thats like someone training to fight pacquio with speed and combinations.
Louis Davies it was de la hoyas gameplan thats what canelo was told to do
If I had watch this when I was 12, my boxing career would have been much longer..
HES THE ONLY GUY THAT CAN BEAT FLOYD GUARANTEED....
andre ward is a masterful boxer
true champion qualities
greatest boxer, thanks
Ward is better than Floyd (for me)
feel like I learned a little bit
His footwork, my gosh!!
Somewhere right now someone is commenting "you don't know shit about boxing" everyone is a professor
3:23
mitts are better than heavy bag, if I had to choose i'd go for the mitts! some ppl hold them same as heavy bag tho
💯
true... Andre Ward was an all-around fighter
I love how he respect floyd. Ward Just picks boxer apart.
Nice teach wilder this
That’s dope he gives credit for using something he learned from another fighter. And that’s smart!
BOOM GIMME DAT AIR!
Man after watching this I feel like I can knock anyone out 😂😂😂
Ward, come back Champ !!!!
The best of the best.
Ward is too smart
Is smithy still around. I always come back to these videos. The ones with Floyd, Hopkins and Ward are gold. Would be good to see some fresh ones with people like lomachenko, Terrence Crawford, rigondeaux or some tips from the legend Roy Jones jr! Get on it seconds out!
Wow just wow !
Loved it
thhis is gold
Ward is a master boxer. Awesome video
He’s so good
Priceless info
Master
People should pay with this amount of knowledge that he shared. You'll learn more from this than other boxing gyms.
