Even while punching the punching bag, his footwork is so majestic, n everything that he does is so calculated, knows exactly what n how he wants to do things. I see so many boxers going all out just smashing the punching bag, Ward's technique of punching bag is special.
Andre ward is a unappreciated fighter people take him for granted if only he knew how to promote himself like floyd he'd be earning money like floyd because his skills are out of this world
+Ft008 that's where boxing fails the fans. He is a super talent and the boxing organizations should make certain fights happen based on the best fighters, not promoters purses! Boxing has become a sham! It is just as bad as the WWE.
Yh but he needs to change it up like floyd did because floyd was earning the same more or less then 24/7 made him that star because he played the villain so well
Ward is the definition of 'textbook'..In my opinion he is the best boxer in all of the divisions in terms of technique. I don't know why he gets so much hate, he is a nice guy never trash talks about anyone
If you read the old books The art of boxing, Haislers boxing book joe Louis boxing book and countless others some books from 1920s etc text book wise Ward does many things by the BOOK .. to a Tee
That dude next to Ward reminds me of a character from Dragon Ball-Z yelling like that. keep waiting for him to shoot out a huge fireball or something Wtf. LOL!!
Ward is the best boxer of this era hands down. Work rate,defense, offense,footwork,distance control, range,angles,power,timing you name it he's got it.
C'mon. Guerrero is an absolute beast, so is Canelo, Cotto, etc, etc. Floyd's style and skill is just to perfected and near impossible to Break. He is a one man Army!
After Ward was rooting for Robert Guerrero against Floyd,and after the verbal jabs that was thrown back and forth between Floyd and Ward,i`m not surprised Ward went to 50 cent`s gym.Ward knew he would not be welcomed at Mayweather`s gym.
People are their sloppiest when tired. It shows in his right hook. But I like Ward a lot as a fighter. I think Virgil should move him around more in every direction when doing pad work. He will have to develop a bit more pop to those punches to really hurt GGG. If you don't hurt GGG, you can't beat him. That's if they actually fight.
Look Sharp, Shoulder Looks Good, he Don't Need No Tune Up...Nobody from 160-175 beats Ward...NOBODY! Too Skilled, Too Smart and Too Good to the point that they are trying to just ignore him all together and keep him down so their favorite fighter won't have to fight him He don't need to go overseas for Guys who already dominated like Kessler or Froch, you truly want your revenge the COME TAKE IT!
Andre Ward, the most feared pure boxer in the game. The dude might be too good for his own good. No one wants a piece of that, unfortunate for us fans :(
Danny Jacobs would have a punchers chance. I honestly think Ward is a bit too big for GGG. Middleweight unfortunately doesn't have a lot to offer at the moment pro wise.

Dirrell was supposed to fight Ward in the 2011 Super Middle Weight tournament. He pulled out citing an injury from the Arthur Abraham fight. Believe me Ward had every intention of fighting him and IMHO would have beat him. Not sure about Adonis Stevenson I'll have to look into that one. I just don't see Ward being the type of guy that avoids the tough fights. I mean the Super Middle Weight tournament was the best in the world in that weight class winner take all. Ward ran the table.
Adonis Stevenson called Ward out after Stevenson beat Dawson.He said they could do it at 168 or 175, but Ward never answered.Also Anthony Dirrell was mandatory for Ward`s title last year,and Ward said "the networks would not be interested in broadcasting the fight",and that he was planning to give up the belt.Then Anthony Dirrell got into a motorcycle accident,so Ward did not have to give up the belt.Bute wanted to fight Ward after the super six but Ward made an excuse not to fight him.
He probably will but we will never know till they fight each other.Personaly i think Anthony Dirrell gives him a tough fight and might even beat him.There`s a reason why Andre Ward didin`t want to fight him.
I`m talking about Anthony Dirrell,not Andre Dirrell.Anthony Dirrell is Andre Dirrell`s brother and Anthony Dirrell became mandatory for Wards belt after the super 6.Andre Dirrel made excuses claiming that the networks wouldn`t be interested in broadcasting the fight and he said he was gonna give up the belt.But then Anthony Dirrell got into a motorcycle accident,so Ward did not have to give up the belt.The only great fighters in the Super 6 was Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell,the rest was mediocre
Bute was never invited to be in the super six,that is the reason he wasn`t in the super six.And it doesn`t change the fact that Bute called Ward out to fight,after Ward won the super six,but Ward made an excuse not to fight him.I`m aware that Stevenson was ducked by numerous people also.Its unfortunate because Adonis is 35 so he don`t have a lot of time left.
Floyd is way to small for Ward,their are weight classes for a reason,and Floyd is not a super middleweight,he`s a welterwieght.Floyd is so good that nobody can give him a real challenge in his weight class,Ward on the other hand,i think there`s guys that would give him a good challenge but Ward don`t want a real challenge.He avoided Adonis Stevenson and Anthony Dirrell,Both those guys wanted to fight Ward,and both of them got good boxing skills,good speed and good punching power.
wards got such an amazin compact hook cause during amateurs he fucked up his right hand so had to work on his left that much more,....have you ever noticed when watching ward how many variations he has of the jab
It might never happen! But I want to c Ward vs Broner! It will b better then a Chavez fight! Ward is going to out box an bully him! AB is strong an has defense! It will b a great display of skills!
Sergio calling out Floyd why not call Andre ward out HBO would jump to set that up it would be a big fight and I would pay 50.00 on pay per view for that fight
All the fool saying floyd fight him are just haters wana see him lose floyd strugle to make 154 we was weight 149 on fight night comon give guy his credit btw im many pac man fan and im sure he will be bk stronger buh floyd man that guy is on another level
Andre ward should drop weight so he can fight floyd.ill be a good fight.floyd has to fight some one that's good like ward.floyd needs to stop picking easy fights like Robert Guerrero.
WARD seen That Mayweather performance and said, I have to hit that Gym. Ward has the same drive as Mayweather so he will go to work and don't be surprised if you see those 2 in the ring. What weight would b good for both fighters. Could Floyd go to 160. Ward isn't going to 154. Never make it!
![ILLSLICK - WINTER IS COMING [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dwTMeM1zIhQ/mqdefault.jpg)
True boxing fans know that Ward is great. not many fighters can get up after a knockdown and dominate a fight. especially against the boogie man
A Font agreed

Sagar Thakuri the little things usually go un-noticed but most of the time it’s those little things that matter the most

Ft008 100%

+Ft008 Actually it was the other way around, Floyd made 24/7 lol
Ft008 Ward has UNBELIEVABLE SKILLS...
One of the all time greatest hands down
keep in mind that because he's left-handed, his jab carries extra power on it. I think it was an interesting decision to train him to be orthodox.
its the best option
my god is heavy bag work is just one of the reasons he's the champ
And he looked like a bum to me. Wide stance and no snap.
+Marcosa Tanas please tell me you're joking
I'm going to echo what many have said here, it is time for him to come back. Thank you FIGHTHYPE I love watching Andre Ward train.

Jeremie T his technique is nothing special, in fact, it's often poor
funky juggles give examples plz
Jeremie T I would agree with ya bro
If you read the old books The art of boxing, Haislers boxing book joe Louis boxing book and countless others some books from 1920s etc text book wise Ward does many things by the BOOK .. to a Tee
Some say he's a dirty fighter but i find it funny he have to play clean in a fight?
Since looking at a lot of these Andre Ward video I see why he is a champ
Andre ward was a beast!
Andre Ward is a BEAST
Just watched a video of ward signing gloves he's left handed naturally thats why his jab and left hook are his best weapons
MirrorVape RS yup.. turns his jab into a power punch lots of times
That dude next to Ward reminds me of a character from Dragon Ball-Z yelling like that. keep waiting for him to shoot out a huge fireball or something Wtf. LOL!!
Gimp
dj oneill ??...
He's a pro boxer Hank Lundy
boxing excellence, glad to see dre back and healthy
The legend taping his hands has been with all the greats! 2022 he still working! Lol he is a champ!
Big fan of Andre Ward!
u cant say any thing bad about this guy Andre Ward is the p4p KING
I want him to fight more
After floyd retires
That upper cut is beautiful
fighthype NO1,,, best boxing channel on youtube by far
Ward is the best boxer of this era hands down. Work rate,defense, offense,footwork,distance control, range,angles,power,timing you name it he's got it.
beast hes underrated 2 me hes better than floyd and pacquiao in my opinion
Agreed
When Floyd retires ward will take his place in boxing. He just want produce the poverty numbers Floyd does, but he will be pound for pound
Ment PPV
Hank lundy in the back screaming at the bag 😂😂
Always fine the right hand line. Always. Perfect
C'mon. Guerrero is an absolute beast, so is Canelo, Cotto, etc, etc. Floyd's style and skill is just to perfected and near impossible to Break. He is a one man Army!
Ward looks like he's in the mid 170's.. He looks in shape
After Ward was rooting for Robert Guerrero against Floyd,and after the verbal jabs that was thrown back and forth between Floyd and Ward,i`m not surprised Ward went to 50 cent`s gym.Ward knew he would not be welcomed at Mayweather`s gym.
The way he turns that left over is s thing of beauty. Dre has it down to an art
Im a floyd fan but i still got love for my nigga from da town east oakland stand up
Fight Hype be on top of things

The front fist roll shot! you dont see them ones

Really hope Ward and Golovkin fight, has the potential for Ward to shake off the ill deserved boring tag and have the Fight of the Year
"He bout to whup on a Puerto Rican and turn him into a Mexican" LMAo
Interesting that when he was throwing the right hook to the body he had his palm parallel to the floor.
I think it's to achieve a longer range also.
Ross Catto yup
Canelo vs Andre ward thats the fight I would like to see
enrique enriquez 🎯
Andre Ward would destroy Canelo also Ward is Light Heavyweight and Canelo Middleweight
Everyone is gonna have a big surprise in the super middleweight division really soon
Andre Ward, the most feared pure boxer in the game. The dude might be too good for his own good. No one wants a piece of that, unfortunate for us fans :(
when fighters shadow box its best to follow their footwork with the camera, great vid though
You are right ! The footwork is what we want to see so we can learn !
Are those powerlock gloves?
Is this man retired cause I haven't heard his name mentioned in a long, long time?
Yes
Is that Hank Lundy next to Andre?
What time was it?
Good bag workout
Wish u could see the footwork better...
I know totally different sports but this guy reminds me of Arian Foster of the houston texans[NFL]
I think Andre is the only guy around Middleweight who can possibly defeat GGG.
+wheelinthesky300 More like GGG is the only guy who can possibly beat Andre Ward
Would be a helluva fight.
+Ian Cruz what about ggg makes you think he can defeat ward?
Danny Jacobs would have a punchers chance. I honestly think Ward is a bit too big for GGG. Middleweight unfortunately doesn't have a lot to offer at the moment pro wise.

Ward outclasses him and wins a decision.
Dre beastin!

He probably will but we will never know till they fight each other.Personaly i think Anthony Dirrell gives him a tough fight and might even beat him.There`s a reason why Andre Ward didin`t want to fight him.

Hey bra, get in the ring with someone already. Boxing misses you ward! You got plenty of challenges left
That left hand is deadly
he has zero punching power, how can you say that his left hook is deadly?
XIX.VI.MCMLXXXVII Triggered
future hw champ
WHEN THE FIGHT?
Bute was never invited to be in the super six,that is the reason he wasn`t in the super six.And it doesn`t change the fact that Bute called Ward out to fight,after Ward won the super six,but Ward made an excuse not to fight him.I`m aware that Stevenson was ducked by numerous people also.Its unfortunate because Adonis is 35 so he don`t have a lot of time left.
I wish Andre Ward was a Heavyweight.
10:06 min looks like TBE
Hard work, no neutral officials
Sms heavy bag? 50 cent gym?
Floyd is way to small for Ward,their are weight classes for a reason,and Floyd is not a super middleweight,he`s a welterwieght.Floyd is so good that nobody can give him a real challenge in his weight class,Ward on the other hand,i think there`s guys that would give him a good challenge but Ward don`t want a real challenge.He avoided Adonis Stevenson and Anthony Dirrell,Both those guys wanted to fight Ward,and both of them got good boxing skills,good speed and good punching power.
did u see him beating that bag, that short left hook, holly shit.
wards got such an amazin compact hook cause during amateurs he fucked up his right hand so had to work on his left that much more,....have you ever noticed when watching ward how many variations he has of the jab
nomar manuel
yeah totally
nomar manuel Yea especially his last fight. His jab was like he had a knife in his hand. Stabbed Edwin. It was like a power punch
who else does Hunter train? Ward, Khan, Berto??
I think zab Judah sometimes
I think that was Hank Lundy in the video but he does Berto too I know that
Angulo
+Zen Master not anymore
does he still train karim mayfield
Stitch on the job!
That's my Initials. I have to get one of those Bags. LoL
It might never happen! But I want to c Ward vs Broner! It will b better then a Chavez fight! Ward is going to out box an bully him! AB is strong an has defense! It will b a great display of skills!
Beast
Hank lundy on the next bag
Jeez... the black dude on the big bag grunts way too loud lol...
LOL. ;)
Ward would beat the brakes off Adonis and dirrell!
NOBODY!! BHOP called out Floyd but vowed to never fight Ward! The old man knows Ward would retire him
Sergio calling out Floyd why not call Andre ward out HBO would jump to set that up it would be a big fight and I would pay 50.00 on pay per view for that fight
Ward is the best, but lookin like hes throwing that right hand weird now. like he's hesitant to commit with the new shoulder. afraid to extend it?
CHAVES VS WARD!!!!
Late night workouts? Everyone is trying to be like Mayweather.
Kovalev wouldn't of stood a chance against this prime Ward.
lol....im reminescing on some of his ESPN FNF fights
andre ward is better then floyd.he faces the best and beats the best.
S.O.G is 6'2 169 lbs too big for floyd you guys are nuts to even think that fight would happen
classsssss
S.O.G
All the fool saying floyd fight him are just haters wana see him lose floyd strugle to make 154 we was weight 149 on fight night comon give guy his credit btw im many pac man fan and im sure he will be bk stronger buh floyd man that guy is on another level
lol he went to the 50 cent gym
Andre ward should drop weight so he can fight floyd.ill be a good fight.floyd has to fight some one that's good like ward.floyd needs to stop picking easy fights like Robert Guerrero.
I think Ward is one of the best but he should either move up or down in weight . Theres nothing left at 168
He would of killed everything in the lower weight classes
Better than Floyd in my opinion. Top 3 or 4 P4P in the world right now. Maybe guys like Chocolatito and Kovalev are just ahead of him, for now.
+PhillyPhan ggg is better just about
LBG HD We'll see. If Ward loses to Kovalev and GGG beats Canelo, than GGG becomes the #1 P4P in the world and Kovalev is #2.
yeah that's right
Damn Drake
WARD seen That Mayweather performance and said, I have to hit that Gym. Ward has the same drive as Mayweather so he will go to work and don't be surprised if you see those 2 in the ring. What weight would b good for both fighters. Could Floyd go to 160. Ward isn't going to 154. Never make it!
