Do you agree with Andre Ward?

[@dnotorious7582]

No he is dirty fighter son of judges

[@HR-jy1nb]

ESPN speaking the truth

[@areid609]

ESPN he had the most objective stance. You dont have to shit on 1 guy to praise the other

[@felixramos2154]

ESPN Mcgregor will win 1st round one minute ko or tko

[@brandonalvarez7462]

felix ramos! This is not the ufc

[@nnorush85]

Stephen A. Shave your got damn head already. It's over bro

[@tessilindu4934]

lmao

[@SeriesBlu]

BRUH I SAW THAT THIS MORNING MAN LMAO!

[@KRAYZIEBONE1017]

Made worse by either the shape of his head or style of his hair. He needs a high fade.

[@WanderleiSilva29]

it aint over till its over....

[@nnorush85]

WanderleiSilva29. Hilarious. Nah it's over. His hairline go back any further its gona be an Afro yarmulke.

[@ValiRossi]

Amazing video quality. Wonder what camera they used?

[@quentinrobinson9537]

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. Bruce Lee

[@byanymeans1419]

The champ Andre Ward in the house!!!!

[@PauleyGates3112]

Pretty spot on analysis.

[@hamzasanfour6570]

the master andre sog ward pridecting when he say somthing will happen

[@JYP1M]

Floyd is going to school Conor so damn much.

[@danteafkCamelotUnchained]

come again after his knocks floyd out.

[@MrPhukYu]

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HIS NAME IS - The Rock Fuck Connor McGregory... nobody gives a fuck what his bitch ass name is.

[@yhanwotm8669]

I used to play same clan as you on UT XD

[@danteafkCamelotUnchained]

Which one? :P

[@gaarathefifthkazekage105]

MrPhukYu you can't beat him

[@philliphannah7778]

I see you Ben in the crowd. Best wishes out there in Vegas.

[@2869may]

Aug 26 is a School night for conor.....

[@Vondeegaming]

Nick I see what you did there

[@yannisbarrientos7895]

Nick savage!

[@rparker8761]

"In round 3, round 4, it's going to turn into a beating and they are going to have some decisions to make." Exactly. Mayweather wins by mid-fight TKO. McGregor will come out hard in round one, two and try to KO Mayweather. The best defensive fighter in history, EASILY avoids any serious damage, starts connecting with light punches. As the fight goes on, McGRegor tires, gets hit more and more. Then the fight turns into a beating. Ref stops the fight. McGregor goes crazy, "I wasn't hurt."

[@DollahFrom216]

People are saying Conor Mcgregor will will because he's a mma fighter and he has to deal with punches kicks and take downs and all Floyd has to worry about are punches....Bruce Lee says "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times" and Floyd has practiced that punch more than 10,000 times

[@gccyet]

If sound mind if potential if earliest memory of the episode

[@warriwarrior5500]

Well this is awkward...

[@gunitsoilder3192]

McGregor can have Ireland northern Ireland england wales and Scotland they can't fight for him 50-0

[@lawreneph]

A knockout by the hands of Floyd would be just as surprising as a Mcgregor win in my opinion because both are extremely unexpected.

[@markwheeler4245]

Stephen A talkin about dirty rough tactics from Conor was perfectly describing Andres style.

[@progressp4real721]

Ward is a fuckin wizard in this game!!!! If he says some shit,you can bet the rent money on it!!

[@oneworldkingdom]

People tend to forget Mercer vs MMA fighter where it was over in the first couple minutes.

[@lornaodunuga4753]

Who knows what shades Andre wearing. Love those glasses.

[@SanjuSingh]

Lorna Odunuga Gucci.

[@DBecks09]

Perfect analysis and prediction by Ward. We will quote him after the fight for how accurate he was.

[@REHYPHENUPSTV]

Andre ward gave the best synopsis

[@jackrosenthal4674]

First time seeing this wow andre was very on point

[@karltondavis]

He was so right about everything in his predictions

[@jamesdillon3752]

Is it just me or if you look close at the shots of Stephen A. and Andre Ward they kinda look like their related like Andre can be Stephen A son lol

[@HOTRODRICO]

STEPHEN A. "WHERE'D MY F'N HAIR GO" SMITH

[@JamesOsyris]

5:00 He thinks an armbar is something you can do standing up. lol

[@IndicaDreaming]

I think he was generically referring to an armlock but he really just meant Conor is going to play a little dirty but without going far enough to be DQ'd.

[@GabrielSweetSmith]

Looks like Stephen A. Smith's hairline receded another two inches

[@adh0522]

kellerman ever fought or trained any combat sport?

[@azorahai8846]

Andre seems like a smart guy

[@brandonfu8457]

steven a smith and andre ward look like father and son

[@footba11fan41ife]

This angle really shows how bad Stephen A hairline is lol. give it up man!!

[@junaidmalik1449]

Max I have to hear what u r going to say after match...

[@104yourmother]

Wow! Ward really nailed that pick.

[@sherlee9689]

any1 else ignoring the talk and just eyeing the girl on the set? lol

[@blakebenham3130]

These guys love that they can wear their designer shades

[@caingonzalez7522]

Like Bruce lee said something like this, I'm not afraid of a man who has practiced 10,000 kicks I'm afraid of a man that has practiced 1 kick 10,000 times

[@gabsedits2238]

Struggle to see how this has any relevance to what anyone said here....

[@Ball3R855]

Molly stared at Andre the whole time lol

[@davidcraig7771]

Isaiah855 no, she was looking at me. I was in the audience to Ward's right. I also think you might be projecting.

[@royalsiths2836]

Max Kellerman slurrrrping it up

[@theflash6100]

Conor has a cardio issue he won't last long. We've seen him gas out before specifically against Nate. By the end of both fights he was done. He's gonna be carrying heavier gloves for more rounds. Floyd isn't gonna sit there and take his punches like Nate did. He's gonna have to use his stamina to try and catch him. When you see it that way Floyd may actually finish him if he just can't keep his guard up in the later rounds.

[@afk7144]

Always count on KZbin commentators to know more than a champion boxer.

[@KNIGHTRACEDOTCOM]

I respect Ward after this.. very intelligent

[@RossKempOnYourMum01]

If they allowed headbutts and low blows, Andre Ward would dominate UFC. He uses those plus Muay Thai style elbows in boxing already.

[@wesleyekwueme]

yes

[@afaqz123]

why would max add a comment whenever somebody tries to disagree with him?

[@TheWwebatista]

He called the round Floyd will process and turn into a beating

[@filanike5772]

Conor's leg movement and blocking are kinda weak for a boxer but let's see how it goes

[@richardmartinez6437]

Good call producers. Those glasses needed to go.

[@rhakutosa7668]

Alrright, first thing first. We must all wear sunglasses.

[@user-hl9on8si2f]

Best name I've seen is Conald McNuggets. Comment section is gold sometimes.

[@gladiator_games]

Andre Ward!!! One of the sports Kings of the Bay area

[@JustinR941]

Stephen A up here debating Andre Ware!! " I know you are Andre Ward, but listen to me, I'm gonna call you Heisman trophy winng QB Andre Ware. Now, Andre Ware talk about this fight."

[@webslinger43]

When your hairline lines up with your ear's, time to go bald. SAS Please let it go.

[@mamclaug100]

From the king of "low blows" ....a ward

[@SciFiFighter]

Max wants to be the creamy middle or a Ward Mayweather cookie.

[@mylo208]

This might be the only white guy going for Mayweather... 💯

[@coperpot100]

Mylo Whittaker i'm whiter than paper and I'm just going with what makes the most logical sense. Floyd maywether by KO

[@SanjuSingh]

coperpot100 U r also a bitch ass wigga!

[@flizzy4645]

Mylo Whittaker it's cutz he's a smart boxing analyst

[@yannisbarrientos7895]

Mylo Whittaker even bieber left him.

[@cg6560]

Mylo Whittaker This is boxing vs MMA

[@angrysam5361]

So ward got the round wrong but everything else he described about the fight was spot on. Described what happened almost to a T. Shows how much a real elite level fighters know about the boxing game and analyzing opponents.

[@yungheat84]

Steven A looks like Andre ward dad.... lol

[@orangenblue6981]

Stephen A.'s hairline hasn't made it to Vegas yet.

[@slob8871]

Mannnnnn, I wanna go to vegas

[@mofomartianp]

3:25 Wait, WTF was that shit?!? lmao

[@D35TR00]

Andre Ward nailed it

[@boxingexpert9065]

Andre Ward knows a thing or 2 about fighting dirty.

[@Tubes78]

They predicted the fight almost down to the last details.

[@patrickj2913]

God ! I love that this is all on record.

[@brianbowers1318]

I was the 200th like and was only here for Andre! 😂

[@SpecificPT]

why does Steven A always looks super pissed off - even in sunny Vegas

[@abijahwalker368]

Sas got that morty fade

[@Michael-fx1gs]

Abijah Walker 🤣😂😂😂😆😆

[@SkintoneChickenbone]

Ward was SPOT ON!!!

[@africasupreme3]

Steven A made alot of good points on this topic

[@MrRealtalk84]

Andre and max was right on the money.

[@commentforeverything4923]

I didn't think so either but *goes to round 10* I wish I could tell the future tbh, i'd be rich making all these bets.

[@gccyet]

If pre determined mindstate

[@bbb605]

Andre Ward was on point👏👏

[@dwayneyoung8749]

It's crazy how they was on the money. That's exactly what happen

[@michaelallen9054]

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" ..

[@juliand4442]

The sunglasses make me nervous

[@JamesOsyris]

When boxing commentators think they know more than actual boxers

[@1gsrtom]

Don't mean to change the subject but Molly is looking awesome , that body is looking extra tight she's definitely been a workout warrior.

[@Rubenowski]

EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY.

[@monque9879]

Don't understand how anybody can watch Nate Diaz n Conor second fight and think Floyd wont hit him with the same shit lol

[@bellyuncensored]

I haven't seen analysts of a sport so confident in an outcome since the 2008 super bowl.... we know what happened there

[@eedeedoubleyouayaredee1345]

Ward and Stephen a look like father and son

[@toma_a]

I'm curious to see how McGregor will setup his "left hand" dispite a high level jab this is boxing toe to toe shooting from the shoulders Floyd will figure out McGregor by round 2 and land easily in the 2nd round if McGregor doesn't adjust and comes in bare naked Floyd stopping McGregor is inevitable by 5

[@aquariuskudo]

McGregor is a darksouls player trying to defeat a boss on the first try.

[@jumpstart55million]

Great recognizes great, Andrew Ward understands the championship mindset that it takes to be a high level athlete like Connor...That's why Andrew Ward is giving Conor a punchers chance. Max is mouthing off technical stuff...And foolishly ignoring the Intangibles that make this fight interesting.

[@jah12wi]

Did Max just call Ward vs Conor a "Knockout" ??? LMFAO WTF

[@sushantjagta]

Everything Andre ward said turned true !!!

[@wheelmanstan]

I want to dedicate this match to Robert Lee.

[@Bravo.2]

Ward almost predicted perfectly -floyd gave away first 2 rounds to figure out Connor then he will come forward and start walking Connor down

[@Mr_B79]

in retrospect, Ward gave the best pre-fight analysis ..sorry Max, you blanked on this one

[@mat52298]

3:15 bullet club far left

[@joshhwang9249]

Damn, the First Take crowd really has gotten smaller in the past year. Used to have more lit people

[@heruleallah3236]

Y isnt any1 mentioned conner has no defense against pure strikers?

[@aidanokeeffe6221]

Confidence is power...just saying

[@ishaankrishnan8336]

Stephen A. looks like Ward's uncle

[@usedbyjesus]

he looks like Ryan leslie

[@XxGreatestyouknoWxX]

Conors about to make Floyd take a broadcast nap, live to the world.

[@yodagreenmidgetjedimaster1610]

She didnt get a word in, and she got cut off twice. Feelsgoodman

[@kungfukenny6306]

Only fight I'm trying to see next is this guy step in the ring with Adonis Creed
