FINALLY Ward is back!

[@DeepBlueAbyss]

OTKP About f***ing time!!!

[@WYNNBETS]

SOG, arguably the most underrated boxer, ever. All true boxing purists have to have him somewhere near, or in their Top 10.

[@macedindu]

Would be interesting to see a documentary of sorts about Virgils life in boxing, his roots,his history

[@7thvenom]

Look at that automatic reflex @ 2:51 it becomes instinct even against your old trainer !!!

[@milkman4eva]

Amazing observation. It’s so subtle but it shows the greatness... On alert at all times

[@timjustice229]

That's a crazy punch, looks awkward, he's getting good power on it too.

[@johngoodwin764]

Virgil Hunter on mitts, for when your mandatory is Mr X

[@MistaFrisco]

Well it's about fuckn time

[@tim707max]

i heard andre ward is left handed but he fighs orthodox?!?!

[@Kuba-te8re]

Correct. Like many others: Oscar DLH, Miguel Cotto, Gerry Cooney, Tomasz Adamek, Mikkel Kessler, Carmen Basilio, Sonny Liston, Nonito Donarie, Barrera and much more. If someone wrights with his right it doesn't mean he is right handed, people were converted in the past. Actually they were forcred to stop using left. We also have right handed fighters fighting as southpaw like Lomachenko.

[@tim707max]

@@Kuba-te8re Thats stupid

[@Kuba-te8re]

@@tim707max why you say it's stupid? It's quite common and may give lots advantages

[@tim707max]

@@Kuba-te8re Cuz you would lose your knockout power in your back hand which is where most kos come from

[@Kuba-te8re]

@@tim707max I had similar feeling until I've tried and watched a lot of Cotto and De La Hoya. Style makes fight, it all depends where do you feel comfortable at. I think that it's easier to land lead hook rather than rear cross. It's less telegraphed. So after training about 6 years as southpaw I've switched to orthodox stance and after a while I felt more comfortable fighting that way. Try both stances, switch sometimes and you will see many advantages of having stronger arm in the front. Also, it's not that hard to train your less dominant hand to have a good cross.

[@boxing4life258]

I hope khan feels left out

[@seanh2115]

it would be better if there wasnt a pack of hyenas howling in the backround

[@toneyross6914]

Unify the titles Ward then wait for GGG to not be able to make 160 cause he's big and old if he keeps winning then that fight has to happen.

[@joeygonzo]

Gotta be one of the worst mitt sessions I've seen.

[@mataafa1]

Jack Ridge all depends how your perceiving the purpose of the mitt work “they” are doing ... to some it will be stupid and to some it will be translate into something else ... as stupid as it was something in there must be effective because Virgil’s advice for Andre is yet to fail ? Says something about their work

[@numbnutone]

Wow , big fight , really wanna see this........about as much as i wanna see a tom cats arse hole after the shits......Just looked at the list of world champs , and god , what a mess. Super champs, regular champs , interim champs , alpha bet champs , ring champs. And people wonder why UFC is so popular. If boxing got a grip and had some kind of structure , might be a bit more interest. Ward won super 6 and yet they are still 4 other super middle champs. Joke

[@saifparis2989]

I don't believe Ward is the same boxer anymore, I see many mistakes. He is still good though.

[@lilamz8463]

You dont see good

[@Dangaa118]

Looks rusty

[@jasonshaw8267]

benji111 NOT EVERY FIGHTER CAN TAKE A 2 YEAR LAYOFF LIKE FLOYD COME BACK AND DOMINATE THE #2 POUND FOR POUND FIGHTER IN THE WORLD (MARQUEZ)...

[@llamasindabahamas]

^ you mean come back and dominate the lightweight champion when Floyd was fighting at welterweight? LOL

[@jasonshaw8267]

***** FLOYD OUTWEIGH MARQUEZ BY 3 POUNDS LIKE MANNY IN ONE OF HIS FIGHTS SO STOP THE EXCUSES PACTURD!

[@llamasindabahamas]

Jason Shaw Marquez had to come up from 130 to 144 to fight Floyd dumbfuck

[@jasonshaw8267]

Zebbadee Dabaws FLOYDS SKILLS WERE ON ANOTHER LEVEL WEIGHT DIDNT MATTER DUMBASS LIKE MARQUEZ SAID HIMSELF!
