This is the video that made me believe Bivol has the potential to be a legendary hall of fame boxer. And his victory over Canelo only made me believe in him even more. I hope Bivol achieves everything he wants in boxing.
The truth is canelo was nothing for bivol because he is natural lhw. Fighting canelo was just a privilege that he took advantage off. Canelo sure underestimated him and got outclassed.
@@watermelonsprite1497 lmao what a lame excuse, so he just spanked Zurdo Ramirez big ass no disrespect, but even if Dmitry fought at 168 he still dominates Canelo, he's style is all wrong for him. The dude is great.
With Bivol, Barrera, Kovalev, Beterbiev, and Gvozdyk light-heavyweight is one of the deepest divisions in boxing. It'll be fun to watch if/when they start fighting each other.
Zain Ali This guys a huge casual. As an Andre Ward die hard, I'm super excited to see how this division plays out after his departure. I think an upcoming fighter named Marcus Browne will be the next Great American Light Heavyweight. But he really is in a minefield with all of this talent
E Riles I agree with your assessment about opposition but what needs to be said in his defence he had about 10-15 amateur bouts whereas the names the OP mentioned have over 300 amateur bouts so Yarde needs the knockover jobs in some respects although its clear he's ready
Why did this get me so emotionally invested. Its odd seeing the level of respect they have for each other. Its a strange relationship to see. Ward is happy to see a humble, kind guy filling his shoes and yet he's not sure he really wants to give them up, while Bivol is looking his target and icon in the eyes. The man he trained to beat. Out of reach out the game. But is he. Its a oddly intense and yet tranquil discussion. So many hopes and dreams, both successful both understand the life the other lived to an extent. Potential rivals sitting down as respectful friends talking about how it could have been when it definitely still could.... Oh its beautiful
Andre Ward was a very good fighter and he seems to be a very smart person. He thinks about a lot of things and he's made some very intelligent decisions for himself and his family. We never know what is in our future. It's hard to give up what you have in your life that gives you purpose and good feelings. I have a lot of respect for Ward.
Bivol well get destroyer on the rematch even Thoe canelo is not a true 176 not even close will avenge he's win he only had one hand now. He got surgery.
@@joeyjuandiaz6195 Setting yourself up for another disappointment. I’ll believe Canelo takes that rematch when they’re standing in the ring together again.
This was great, probably the best thing Ward has done with HBO. I wish we could have heard more from Bivol, but his sincerity (even when just listening) comes through. I'll be rooting for him for a long time.
Thank you HBO for such interesting interview with Bivol. Andre is an amazing interviewer with great knowledge about the art of boxing. Want more videos like this one!
Beautiful. I want to see more of this young man, seems like a really humble, hard-working dude. Love Andre working for HBO too, he's a wealth of knowledge. Wouldn't want him to replace Roy though.
Amazing 2 man here, both humble, both masters in their game, both well mannered and best example for the kids getting in to sport. Let the craft do the talking........
You gotta love Andre man, brilliant fighter and a brilliant ambassador of the sport. Hope he does more of these one-to-one conversations. As for Bivol, I reckon another year or so and his english will be on point although, very much like Emelianenko back in the day, he doesn't even need to say much :D for those of you who didn't know, "bivol" literally means buffalo ...guess that speaks for itself.
Ward's stock goes up even more. He's took notice of Bivol, and gives solid rationale to his evaluation. Not afraid to express his belief in Bivol after only about 10 pro fights. Unbiased words.
Saw this video years ago and started following Bivol’s career closely, when the Canelo fight arrived it was funny to see everyone counting Bivol out as I already knew the kind of boxer he was. Nice to see what he has accomplished so far and looking forward to see what is next for him, I do see him getting closer to that top spot on the P4P rankings.
That was an excellent interview and I really enjoyed it. Down to earth excellent advice given from experience from Andre. Really showing the true reality of the sport and the sacrifices that are made. I just heard about Bivol today and watched his fights and saw his energy, quickness and power and I’m hoping that he will have victory over Canelo on May 7th for an upset. I’m a big GGG fan so it would be nice to see Canelo knocked down by Bivol’s power!
Greatttttttttttttttttttttt interview Andre ward,thanks for doing this type of interviews it let’s us know about the fighters much more.and taking over when the other person has a little bit of language barrier very professional of you.other people on the comments Learn somethings first before saying something.....great job ward you’re the man.🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
I hope Bivol would come to Korea someday.. He will be very welcomed by his mother's mother contry people. And.. I respect his humbleness in spite of his wonderful boxing performance and expect his life to be blessed and be used by God!
Prometheus Jay, I would agree with that. Let’s hope he doesn’t make things difficult on negotiation or asks for an unrealistic amount of payday, which he historically been known for
People said Ward retired because of Beterbiev ad Bivol and after seeing their career the last 5 years, it makes a lot of sense. They’re both a level above of Ward and Kovalev.
I always respected ward for his personality and his boxing skills. But what I apreciate in him the most is his devotion to God and family. Now I discovered Dmitry Bivol and I also like his boxing and that he is a humble man, also we both have moldavian roots. Hopefully he is following or will follow Lord Jesus. That's the most important thing in life. God bless them both!
Been a while since HBO made something with this much quality Ward seems to have taken a liking to this kid Im certainly not wards biggest fan but he's been there and done everything so you want to take heed of his advice it's sage I hope bivol goes on to do great things!!
I was wrong about Ward. He's very smart and he's honest. I'm glad he retired and is happy. Retired on top. Seems healthy. The more I see of him he's just alot smarter then I thought.
Bivol is one of my favorite current boxers today. I like how he's calculated with his resolve, and counters in combinations, unlike anyone I've seen. I wish he was a heavyweight, but he's so damn fast and strong at 175. I wonder how or if he could drop down to 160 and clean out that division. He reminds me of a more versatile Vassily Jirov, with faster feet, better timing, and a little less power. the difference in power doesn't matter since Bivol usually always counters with sharp snappy shots. Koreans are the largest in size between Chinese and Japanese. I feel if his mother were Chinese or Japanese, he wouldn't be as durable. potentially more chinny.
This is the video that made me believe Bivol has the potential to be a legendary hall of fame boxer. And his victory over Canelo only made me believe in him even more. I hope Bivol achieves everything he wants in boxing.
Korean passion with Russian values.
Beast

@@gustavofontalba lol hey
Bivol seems like a cool, laidback, and authentic person
Trae X he sure does. I think he is the future of the division
+Trae X Because he really is.
Kov isn't.
Trae X he's a killer
Kovalev is an arrogant,cheap and overall a bad person.
You don't often get a fighter of Ward's level moving on to interviewing. So close to his retirement too. Priceless insight.
I like how Dmitry Bivol behaves, really humble, down-to-earth guy like Triple G. I hope he will achieve his goals and finally, we will see Ward-Bivol
Rashid Yelubayev no Bivols toyoung for ward
Yeah. Poverty does that too you.
They both ggg and dmitry has a ethnic korean moms from ex soviet countries
Its Eastern European thing.
He just beat #1 pound for pound
With Bivol, Barrera, Kovalev, Beterbiev, and Gvozdyk light-heavyweight is one of the deepest divisions in boxing. It'll be fun to watch if/when they start fighting each other.
Lord Dayu Agreed. Plus Badou Jack/Adonis Stevenson.

E Riles probably just a rumor. But I hope it's true
Lord Dayu plus Anthony Yarde 15-0 14ko's from u.k no.2 ranked wbo great prospect lookout
E Riles I agree with your assessment about opposition but what needs to be said in his defence he had about 10-15 amateur bouts whereas the names the OP mentioned have over 300 amateur bouts so Yarde needs the knockover jobs in some respects although its clear he's ready
Who's here after bivol shocked the world
Me!
Not really a shock
@@NoBiasAllBoxing 5 to 1 underdog winning is a shock
Wasn’t a shock… a lot of us knew Canelo was gonna get that ass whoopin lol
@@kingrahul1151it’s called popularity fool!
Bivol, GGG, Pacquiao...these are the true gentlemen of boxing.
Chocolatito too ! An absolute humble warrior .
and Inoue/Donaire
Great great great. Keep doing this HBO!
ward is a stand up guy. I respect him even more after this
Alpha Male He's way better than the guy on your profile pic.

I like how humble both fighters are, and I appreciate Andre ward on his appreciation of other boxers.
Hard not to like Andre Ward. His demeanor outside the ring has always been impeccable, and his numerous big fight performances, stellar.
Bivol did it…UD over Canelo…a star is born! Congratulations!
Andre Ward was a very good fighter and he seems to be a very smart person. He thinks about a lot of things and he's made some very intelligent decisions for himself and his family. We never know what is in our future. It's hard to give up what you have in your life that gives you purpose and good feelings. I have a lot of respect for Ward.
THANK YOU HBO FOR GIVING US THIS CONTENT FOR FREE!!
Bivol speaks good English👍🏽 Hope this guy gets the experience he needs before battling at the top
unfortunately great men full of humility are almost always forgotten
After schooling the p4p king in Canelo (albeit a middleweight), I think it's safe to say that greatness has been achieved!
*super middleweight
Bivol well get destroyer on the rematch even Thoe canelo is not a true 176 not even close will avenge he's win he only had one hand now. He got surgery.
@@joeyjuandiaz6195 Setting yourself up for another disappointment. I’ll believe Canelo takes that rematch when they’re standing in the ring together again.
@@joeyjuandiaz6195Bivol will walk Canelo down again especially if he uses his jab
Two nice guys having a chat, one professional journey ended on a high note the other to be determined. Nice to have Andre Ward sharing some insights.
This is so rare. To see two world famous boxers and they're both so humble. No pretense, no false bravado. Just genuine boxers.
This makes me so happy. I watch it back every now and then since it's been out. I'm a light heavyweight boxer myself and damn do I love these two.
This was great, probably the best thing Ward has done with HBO. I wish we could have heard more from Bivol, but his sincerity (even when just listening) comes through. I'll be rooting for him for a long time.
vs Canelo soon....and I still think Bivol will prevail..
@@allpraiseduetogod Good job calling it.
@@allpraiseduetogod Good job calling it.

Man, I will always be a fan of Bivol!!!! Let's go Champ!!!
Ward a true professional in and out the ring #respect
One of the dirtiest fighters in boxing and you call him a true professional. Did your mom drop you on your head?
This was great. Andre is such a deep, real dude. And I think Bivol has all the potential in the world
I like how Bivol flipped the retirement plan question on Ward.
If Bivol listens to Andre, along with his natural boxing talents - he will be champion. Thanks for the upload.
He is the champion
I always respected Ward. Love the chess game, boxing strategic style he brings.
vien nguyen low blows king.
Ward is excellent for HBO.
Cheaters are not good for anyone's brand.
PunchFor Pound Kovalev is that you? Get outta here bruh 😂
he did cheat but he's a good presenter boring ass boxer though one of them abel sanchez stereotypes
James Celts i was thinking the same. Andre is a bright guy. He's a great fit for HBO.
Ward is excellent for ward. No one else.
Great to see this video again after Bivol deteriorated Canelo p4p best boxer in the world 🌎
What a humble man Bivol is !!
Beautiful. I want to see more of this young man, seems like a really humble, hard-working dude. Love Andre working for HBO too, he's a wealth of knowledge. Wouldn't want him to replace Roy though.
Two great persons and two great boxers!
You can see on his Bivol is a hard man that been through a lot in life to where he's now.
Amazing 2 man here, both humble, both masters in their game, both well mannered and best example for the kids getting in to sport. Let the craft do the talking........
This aged really well.
Seems to be aging better and better with every fight
'One thing thats similar with you to me... is you seem very humble', says Andre 'Son of God' Ward. Thats hilarious!
You gotta love Andre man, brilliant fighter and a brilliant ambassador of the sport. Hope he does more of these one-to-one conversations. As for Bivol, I reckon another year or so and his english will be on point although, very much like Emelianenko back in the day, he doesn't even need to say much :D for those of you who didn't know, "bivol" literally means buffalo ...guess that speaks for itself.
The thing that impressed me most with this interview is how cool and respectable of a man Andre award is.
Andre ward saw it way before anyone else did what Bivols potential !
This was amazing showing another side of this brutal sport. Andre ward suit this series perfectly.
I miss Andre Ward. He’s very deep and motivational
"The real work begins after retirement" wow.
They have a lot of respect for each other!
Ward's stock goes up even more. He's took notice of Bivol, and gives solid rationale to his evaluation. Not afraid to express his belief in Bivol after only about 10 pro fights.
Unbiased words.

“Maybe YOU” straight to his face, no intimidation, just warrior mentality.

I just heard about Bivol today and watched his fights and saw his energy, quickness and power and I’m hoping that he will have victory over Canelo on May 7th for an upset.
I’m a big GGG fan so it would be nice to see Canelo knocked down by Bivol’s power!
Well he didnt knock him down but he boxed great. Having canelo on the ropes landing combos was amazing to see. Love his style!
Andre out here doing good work. Only fighters can truly understand and explain boxing. They need more roy jones/ward/hopkins mini series.
Greatttttttttttttttttttttt interview Andre ward,thanks for doing this type of interviews it let’s us know about the fighters much more.and taking over when the other person has a little bit of language barrier very professional of you.other people on the comments Learn somethings first before saying something.....great job ward you’re the man.🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
This is great knowledge that Bivol can take from Andre he did it his way and a true champ who should have gotten more recognition
I hope Bivol would come to Korea someday.. He will be very welcomed by his mother's mother contry people. And.. I respect his humbleness in spite of his wonderful boxing performance and expect his life to be blessed and be used by God!
Ggg is also part Korean
The Title Got Me Crying 💀😭🤣😂😂🤣😭💀 Bivol Saw This Ahead Of Time !!!!
He's the king now
He pulled through.
Andre very classy champion very nice person just like Bivol
Ward vs Bivol is the fight to make
George Havenhand, ward is dissecting Bivol up close and personal. Look for Ward to announce return
The seed is planted
Not yet. The fighter that clears out the division can get Ward.
Prometheus Jay, I would agree with that. Let’s hope he doesn’t make things difficult on negotiation or asks for an unrealistic amount of payday, which he historically been known for
This was pretty cool. I think Ward sees the talent, strength, and humility and thirst to learn that Bivol has.
I know its early but i think this man is special
Hope Andre does more of these. Fun stuff.
People said Ward retired because of Beterbiev ad Bivol and after seeing their career the last 5 years, it makes a lot of sense. They’re both a level above of Ward and Kovalev.
Lol
Chinese bot
Great interview. Andre went beyond boxing and got through Bivol's character. I like to see more of his content.
Keep making these type of videos HBO.
This kid is grounded and very talented if he can beat Barrera and keep getting better, I can’t see anyone beating him.
Beating Canelo brought me here
Дима красавец!
A Ward called it. ' Alvarez, don't miss with Bivol'.
This is great class from both fighters. Thanks. Andre an Bicol you boys are first class the best.
Andre Ward is the perfect person to link to
Andre
You are a true student of boxing
And a soothsayer
I like how Ward made this whole documentary about him. Bivol was just an afterthought in this.
Couldn't agree more.
Where is Live Schreiber????
I think its Bivol who has turned the interview on Ward.
My thoughts exactly... As he said that he struggles with it... he wants to be in the spot light.
Thx HBO
So glad this isn't blocked in Australia. Soooo many videos I've wanted to watch from this amazing channel and it's always blocked 😭😭
I always respected ward for his personality and his boxing skills. But what I apreciate in him the most is his devotion to God and family. Now I discovered Dmitry Bivol and I also like his boxing and that he is a humble man, also we both have moldavian roots. Hopefully he is following or will follow Lord Jesus. That's the most important thing in life. God bless them both!
Ward is an amazing fighter & person
Manny_3.77 Stang Headbutts and messing up other Ppls careers is disgusting
Manny_3.77 Stang "Was."
Manny_3.77 Stang truth
He seems like an amazing person but in the ring he is a piece of shit
Oooh I like this. Go on Andre
Very Humble guy!!!
I can relate so much to what Ward was saying about being mixed race
Been a while since HBO made something with this much quality Ward seems to have taken a liking to this kid Im certainly not wards biggest fan but he's been there and done everything so you want to take heed of his advice it's sage I hope bivol goes on to do great things!!
Check and check
Daam....Andre is good at this platform....respect !
two legends .. salute
I was wrong about Ward. He's very smart and he's honest. I'm glad he retired and is happy. Retired on top. Seems healthy.
The more I see of him he's just alot smarter then I thought.
He's not that smart....didn't he say Caleb was going to beat Canelo?
@@johnbailey8012 stop ward is smart...just because his opinion differs from yours doesn't be little his experience.
@@mateenfoster4595 I wasn't belittling him..just pointing out he's always wrong.
@@johnbailey8012 you said he is not smart based on some incorrect predictions. Its a general statement

Naoya inoue is japanese and has a chin
Andre is a good dude
Bivol is finally getting noticed because he will become the best light heavyweight well done hbo
Two great persons ❤
A tremendous fighter has it all! Humble and down to earth! Already beat Pascal, Barrera and Smith Jr
Finally HBO changes up and showing signs of life. Keep it up.
two humble and smart guys
I hope to see more episodes like this with Andre going to fighters. This episodes is awesome, Bivol has a good future
If they ever did fight, they would truly respect each other.
DMITRY 'ICEMAN' BIVOL!
Ward is the Champ we needed, not the one we deserved. Bivol has some big shoes to fill
So much respect for Ward what a cool guy
damn ward already knew how special bivol was
This was more an interview about Ward's retirement than Bivol coming up.
chet michael yeah after he beat his ass twice.
I felt like it was more about how cool Andre is, more than it was about Dmitry lol
Tight ass interview yall should give ward a show like this
HBO was the best at covering boxing, best production bar none.
Bivol is a credit to boxing.
