Andre Ward-Like Water

[therealpugilist]

Cant wait til his fight next month...this kid is special and IMO will go down as a hall of famer and a ATG from 168-175

He is a student of the game and I admire his willingness to learn.

Physical things fade but a sharp mind always improves and evolves.

People who dont know much about boxing dont realize its only 20% physical...the mind plays a huge factor and a millisecond of hesistation could result in a missed punch, a knock down, etc.

Bruce is the king of bad ass

glad the guy is active...I think the lay off did him some good...overcoming a injuries is no joke....He has been fighting since he was a kid...he is a student of the game so I figure with a couple fights under is belt he'll be fighting the top guys again

I hate he lost all that momentum after winning the super 6 and beating Dawson


He has been the heir apparent to Mayweather IMO since earlier this decade...Just saw something in him and his obvious skills....cant deny he works hard and is dedicated

hopefully he learns not to clinch so much and thankfully his highlight clip video was mostly of other people

So many aspects to his game. It all starts with the lead hand. Shoot jab to the body, establish/close range, set up/finish combos with jab and then that power jab which I love.

Maintains defensive responsibility too as he smothers you to avoid return fire.

Then he's one of the few fighters with a good inside game. Complete fighter and fun to watch. Frustrating to be a fan of but I hope all of that is behind us and he can make one final career run at 175.

you can tell by the way he paws, probes and feints with his jab that he studied a lot of Hopkins, Mayweather and old timers.....not a lot of fighters today have much punch variety

he throws up-jabs, step jabs, power jabs, paws with it.....heck he has more variety with his jab than some fighters have with their entire arsenal of punches in a fight....most of the guys are haymaker happy nowadays.....I loved the part when they showed clips of Charley Burley

that's called clinching. it's illegal. you can clearly see him wrapping his arms aroudn rodriguez after he throws his jab. doing illegal things does not equal great defense just like a guy who throws low blows does not equal great offense. try to free yourself from the conditioning that you learned that cheating is defense.

You need to use that ignore feature with threads like this. TROLL CITY BABY!!! I don't know what it is about Floyd and Ward threads.

But he had Froch off balance all night with that jab.
