Boxing fans listen…. the point of sparring is not a Winner or a Loser You don’t spar to go in and “Win” Sparring is training & sharpening skills this was a great showing of just that
💯 Exactly, you could be practicing something that you’re not very good at like hook off the jab for example. Naturally, you would look like you’re getting beat up because it’s something that you’re PRACTICING. Kind if like, practicing a layup with your left hand when you’re actually right handed in basketball. Anyone that doesn’t know you gonna be like “oh he sucks” 😂.
They both are real champs as well so they don’t need the ego boost of, “I hurt him”, go to any gym with seasoned vets this is what you see. No knock outs occur until some young brash guy needs to be humbled.
Actually sparring is simply big gloves and headgear. There is no one set way to spar. You can go light practicing stuff or you can treat it like a real fight. As long as you got 16oz and headgear it’s sparring
This is why Ward had a long successful career, and Crawford is currently enjoying one. They left their egos at the door and didn't just try to rock one another. You actually get to learn from a sparring session like that.
WARD literally retired at 32 cus he couldn’t hang with the BIG DOGS!!! Real boxing fans know ARTUR B & BIVOL were his mandatories at the time. Took his belts, made him retire and they haven’t lost since. My man knew he was a hype job and retired just to hate on other fighters who did what he was scared to do and couldn’t
Yep and Bud listening to his coach. This is what it is all about. Your trainer will see things that you don't and/ or overlooked. This is elite level shit right here!
I don't think people understand how hard it is to not get comfortable in retirement. The shape that ward is in right now is just as impressive as winning world title
@@TedConnell-bt4ogtbf training and sparring is alot different than going 12 rounds with elite competition. Not saying that ward cant make a comeback tho because he did well against bud whos VERY elite competition
@xsmacked right. I'm just saying, to put yourself outside the comfort zone like you still hold belts, especially when you don't need to, it's really special
Sparring your teammates "own gym" or retired goats sparring should always be at a steady pace to help growth when it's other gyms that's when u can turn up or if ur in camp and bring in sparring partners that's when u turn up I was sparring a heavyweight who a new coach at my boxing gym and I got in no head gear and no mouth pieces he tried throwing bombs but didn't understand why he only landed 5 or 6 clean punches in 3 rounds when I gave the new coach my word I wasn't throwing but let him throw as much or hard as he wants... Which is also something we don't see anymore experienced boxers in with guys wanting to go pro or looking for fights and strictly working defense with them coming at you. Those are ways you learn boxing
My first time in a pair of real gloves with a real trainer was 1968 at the age of 8 yrs old. St Margret Mary in Detroit MI. Retired Army now but a boxing fan for real, for life. This was a special moment between to of the all time greats. Great thing.
Yes sir! I am really digging the comments here. Y'all know some boxing and have probably had some training and actually stepped into the ring. Love it.
@@DanielWayne-fl3dj no what they did was called technical sparring , not every session is hard sparring , of course it has it's place but this just as much ,
@@anonymousanonymous3707 technical sparring is still intense bro, the reason why they aren’t increasing the tempo is cuz both parties don’t want to feel disrespected and Bud would easily smoke Andre
@@dobianuli2742 He retired because of a knee injury. Beterbiev ducked the guy Ward stopped (Kovalev).. most people don't actually know that, but his team declined that fight and a 50/50 offer - at a time where beterbiev was unknown, that's a real duck.
His discipline should be commended after all these years being at the top. Perfect mixture of hard-work, skill, and talent. Most world class boxers lay off the gas a little bit once they finish the fight, and they start getting serious with their workout regime and diet at the start of training camp. But if you look at Bud he stays in great shape all year round and you can tell because his body is acclimated to that weight range, whereas other guys look dry during weigh-in because they lose mostly water weight. I love watching generational talent that have the work ethic and skill to back it up. Bud, Inoue, Usyk are in a class of their own.
Yes sir. And it is crazy how he looks sharper and more focused at 37yrs old compared to his 27yr old self. For all those hater's hoping Bud will age overnight, nope, not going to happen. This dude is on a level I have never seen. Mayweather is a close second, but lacked the aggression and insane KO power that TBC has.
@@deraelevans222it’s not about ego….why would a fighter disclose their weaknesses or strength Also u don’t see the Lakers releasing videos of Lebron at practice
Bud is so sharp man. He sees every opportunity/opening and doesn’t let it leave without getting a shot in that’s usually the ones that makes a fighter hesitant about what they’re doing because they see they’re getting hit and paying for every little error.
i wasnt a beliver in buds ability before this man... thats beautiful ! andre ward just awoken the real terence & we might get the fights we've been longing for ! true art !
SOG still has that Great Jab to the body to get inside and smother hes Opponent while getting hes short hook to the body and head off while wrestling you to keep your offense non existent. That was One of hes patented moves.
They was holding back a lot , but this excited the hell out of me to see them in the ring together. SOG we miss you, but thanks for letting us see u in the ring again
2 warriors of Christ. Very rare these days that I can point to 2 men that I’d be proud for my son to look up to, but these 2 fit that mold. Good men, fathers, Christians, all young fighters today should look up to these 2.
No he’s not being arrogant. Jesus teaches humbleness, meekness, love, forgiveness, strength, courage, integrity etc.. you know, the things that are honorable and worth looking up to….. the very people that we should NOT look up to has deceived you into thinking what he said was arrogant 😂 come on now.
@MrToolz. I understand it but I'm no longer a Christian. People have the right to believe whatever they want but the Christian has to be right based on ONE collection of books that have been remixed many times. As long as they're not hurting children or outright evil then I live and let live.

Crawford wants to be better than Floyd. Floyd gave Spence a sparring session. Errol should've choose Floyd as a trainer and not DJ. Dj has had a huge downfall since he was awarded Coach of the Year. Charlo, Errol, Ryan, Frank all have lost since then. Joshua is the only one still on top.
Wow!!! Two legends. Two of the highest IQ boxers that have stepped into the ring . There has been more legendary sparring sessions featuring hall of famers or future hall of famers , then we have gotten in matches .

I chuckled when people complained about them sparring and that Bud couldn't gain INVALUABLE knowledge because Dre is no longer "Active". It's like telling Bud not to read any more books because he acquired "enough" knowledge and insight. Boxing and sparring specifically is not a practice of recklessness, but a tune up for the mind and to give looks. •He gave Bud the wild over hand right look. •Pressure with a clinch. •Sharp footwork, to prepare Bud to win the foot war. •Distance management and a challenge for Bud to mentally combat that and cut off the ring. • Also, just the look of training your eye to a much bigger man, as he'll be stepping up to 154. Mitigates the shock on fight night of Madrimovs size differential perhaps. This process was all about Chess + MENTAL prep. The physical attributes, intangibles and SKILLS Bud already has--- Dre is helped him unlock some intangibles he hasn't had to use YET. Looking forward to see the performance on Aug 3rd.
Yoo bo mac is actually giving some really good advice. He is reading the fight and telling his fighter about his blind spots 😮. Underrated bro.

Boxing and sparring specifically is not a practice of recklessness, but a tune up for the mind and to give looks.

•Sharp footwork, to prepare Bud to win the foot war.
•Distance management and a challenge for Bud to mentally combat that and cut off the ring.
• Also, just the look of training your eye to a much bigger man, as he'll be stepping up to 154. Mitigates the shock on fight night of Madrimovs size differential perhaps.
