This is by far one of the best episodes and believe me I've watched them all...keep doing your thing SP 💪🏾
Ward is a legend 💪🏻
@@cosminmierlea8144 I think he didn't get the love he deserved though. I think America backed the Russian in his last couple of fights.
@@constantinvaldor3742 yes, his style didn’t attract fans…Kovalev was a monster with a fan friendly style.
But Ward is a legend a great boxer with legendary skills
@@cosminmierlea8144 I agree that was the talk at the time. You old like me unlucky 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely!
This guy Shawn is a smooth interviewer. He make this interview seems so easy. May God bless you both.
He’s getting better and better
Andre Ward interview is gold. Ward is gold, one of my favorite fighters and persons in boxing. SP, continue doing what you are doing, not everybody can retire on their own terms. Your retirement is the beginning of a great career. You were a great boxer, but you may be better at what you are doing now.
Whenever I'm talking boxing with anybody I always say Andre Ward is the most under appreciated boxers of all time. If somebody is talking about the greatest boxers of the last 20 years, Andre Ward has to be one of the first names you say. I didn't know a lot of this stuff about his childhood and it really makes me like him even more, and he was already one of my favorite boxers of all time. A lot of that stuff hits home with me and to see how you nagivagated through all of that and became one of the greatest boxers in history and more importantly such a great human being is inspiring. You deserve all the great things life has to offer.
real boxing oficisnados know SOG Ward is one of the greatest and did it on his own terms, the middleweight tournament solidified his skill and boxing knowledge/science. better than Mayweather and Roy Jones (in their prime too) to me.
@@brawlnation5194 maybe floyed not Roy jones sorry buddy. You say his own terms well yea he either retired or fought misters in bivol betervive or if he dropped down David would welcome him but yea he was smart n took out running right when his name was finally being recognized also didn’t mayweather come out saying ward lost to kovalev first fight
@@cristianhernandez3619 I said what I said my opinion my words...u act like that man fought nobodies in his division, cmon Sun
@@cristianhernandez3619 that’s arguable but did he come back and knock him out. Oh oh ok. Also did Floyd have fight ppl questioned he lost oh oh ok. Don’t knock the man Andre ain’t duck nothing
@@brawlnation5194 compared to other great middle weights his resume is trash 🚮 hit man marvelous Duran not natural middle weights did more n have better resumes even floyed knocked Andre after the kovalev lost I mean roberry
Man this was real man Thank you for dropping this gem on us 😭😭
Was already a fan of Andre Ward and his sincere faith. This conversation made me even much more so. Open and real. Bold yet humble. God bless and continue to bless you, Andre.
Amazing episode! Had the pleasure of meeting Shawn and his father in 2019 in Vegas. Some of the most humble and kind human beings I've ever met. Ward is someone that I'd love to meet one day. A great guy all around.
I’ve always admired his faith in God . S.O.G
Amen, Andre is a great example in and outside the ring. Very skillful and humble boxer 💪🏽
It's was so satisfying to watch and listen to this Man's story. Thank you Shawn ?
That blind faith can get you even though you never seen he/she/it
Yes. He’s a man walking in his purpose.

Great great interview SP
I also think this was good for Porter because even tho he’s enjoying retirement
He definitely has moments of wanting to come back and I think this was his confirmation that he made the right decision
What a great piece of work and interview. Shawn and dre thank you and the crew for giving us this episode i was a fan of both when both were fighters and im a fan of what you both have become outside the sport thank you and keep going with the motivation message’s 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Dre is a real one i am from Oakland Ca at the height of his career we know a few of the same ppl he took my son Deuce under his wing for a few hours might not seem like a lot but man he really changed my sone life str8 up
Dre is an all time great💯🇺🇸🥇
Wow! Shawn is starting to master these interviews. Great chemistry with Ward as well.
Andre Ward is the epidemy of a man after God's on heart. He's definitely a Kingdom led man, and shout out to Shawn Porter for the great episode
Ward is a great talker and when he isn't being biased I enjoy how he intelligently talks with intellectual articulating words and break downs
This man could come back today and still beat anyone who is placed in front of him….Blessing’s Too U and The Family take care and GOD Bless!!!!!
I hadn’t heard this many yeahs since Usher was still a thing
I really appreciate this interview and Contant you too, are easily amongst my favorite individuals in the boxing game in out and around the ring
Shawn Christian Porter is not only a really good American professional boxer, but this guy is one of my favorite American professional boxers and an excellent boxer interviewer. He is smart and he definitely has the experience to ask his interviewees the right questions. I am proud of him! God bless him! 👍🏾
Two of my favorite fighters of all time
Same here!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing stuff.. i remember early on i wasnt a fan of ward.Coming out of the Olympic he was what I envisioned he would be.BUT as i got rid of my biasis and realised who he was as a fighter and an athlete i truly appreciated him and his character.. LEGEND!!
Can't wait for BOOK OF SOG
Great in depth interview. I like that Shawn knew he was done before the Bud fight. I’m glad they both can walk away satisfied with their careers and not hang on too long and not let boxing control them.
🔥🔥🔥 Strong black men giving respect to their fathers is powerful!
Finally !!!!!!!! No disrespect to the other guest man but finally we get someone who really knows boxing!!!!!!
Cant wait to watch tomorrow

Pray blessing and prosperity over your media career uso. Ia manuia Thelo - Pacific Boxing Academy and South Auckland Boxing Association
This a dope interview! Definitely plan on catchin his Documentary🔥SOG👊🏾
One of the best interviews I’ve heard in a long time..I have a new found respect for A Ward as well as Shawn Porter
Awesome Testimony!!!! Bless you my brother!
🔥🔥🔥
You are a inspiration to others brother. Godbless you in all that you do and blessings to your family
This was lovely. Ward is always a great interview.
💪🏽💪🏽 salute to both of y'all! Legends
I respect Shawn Porter a lot. Bro your humility and man of principle is impressive and seen in how you conduct yourself. 🥊🙏🏽👊🏽
Great interview with the champ these guys have been in many wars legends let’s go champ 🔥🏆🔥
Great interview love it !!!! I don't know how much times Shawn said Yea... YEA ..... Yea.... Yea..... Love the interview I'm a fan of both!! Much respect!!
Can't wait to see the Doc. Super articulate brothers, using the language of today. Both are engaged in asking important questions - to themselves, in order to understand who they are, how they got there and what are they evolving into. Sharing that, in order to save others the hardships of thinking that their out there alone. That others have experienced the path their on and here's some tips. Cool. Gotta respect guys who are engaged and not living in an isolated fantasy, unwilling to share it with anyone except their close circle of friends. The talk of retirement - comeback stuff - was poetic. Eye opener for anyone who thinks every boxer is coming back. Stop asking!
GOD BLESS YOU SHAWN PORTER AND KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU DO CHAMP AND KEEP ON HAVING FUN ONE LOVE BIG A FAN 🌍🇺🇲👊🏾🥊💪🏿💯👏🏾 BALTIMORE SANDTOWN 👍🏽👏🏾💯

Whao!!!! Shawn Porter Bro, you just shocked me with this interview. (I could go deep but I don’t want to give too much game. Dre opened up because he felt it was time. Dre not scared to face his reality. Shawn excepting his role and “new” purpose. Big Dawgs! Inspiration. Feeling the need to give back….etc. etc. too much game in one interview. Timeless. Thank you 🙏🏾
Love Ward his life story. I wish they would make a movie about him. GOD BLESS
