What would be your gameplan against Andre Ward?

[-PBP-]

Have your sparring partners attempt to deliberately headbutt (with protective gear on of course), and learn to evade them and to counter the butts with a punch.

Also learn to avoid the illegal punches he throws off the break. Do the same to him, even though his home ref will penalize you for it while letting the "Son of Goat" do it as much as he wants.

And try to learn to deal with Ward's illegal hitting while holding.

LMAO...he mad as ****

[SCtrojansbaby]

You beat him by volume punching(80-100 punches a round) and being physical on the inside

[croz]

I love that most of you are pretty much answering with "punch him a lot."

[shade darkar]

my gameplan would be simple. avoid getting nutted and then punch him in the face!

hahaha

[SnakeVen0m]

I would get my corner to distract the referee and then I'd have my trainer slide in and hit him over the head with a chair.

In all seriousness I'd probably work on my stamina and try to be the volume puncher. Being first and being last during exchanges. I'd stay away from any clinches or inside fighting. Other than that I would just have to say a prayer and hope for the best lol

[The Gambler1981]

Be better than him~ overall or in one key area that a guy can base a plan around it doesn't really matter.

If I was picking one area I would go for outside because while Ward isn't small he is not some freaky long guy, just fight from range and tie up when he gets close. A guy that can't get into his range can't really be effective and if a guy is good enough from the outside they will find a way to land enough.

Straight shots up the pipe and to his body while staying on the outside; while being defensively responsible (no hands down). No looping shots, nice and tight. Oh you have to have the mental tenacity to go through hell to defeat this guy as well. Flurry at the last 20 seconds of the round to steal any close ones, via Leonard and Oscar. Just a shot in the dark dudes.

If you were to fight Andre Ward, what would be your gameplan against him and do you think it would work?

to level the playing field:

1) don't fight in oakland
2) get a ref that won't let Ward hold-n-hit and will penalize Ward for headbutts
3) make sure 2/3 judges are not American or Canadian

to win:

1) let ward be the aggressor
2) be first
3) establish jab to keep distance and to set up power punches
4) punch with ward (if you can't do #2 & #3)
5) all else fails, make the fight rough and scrappy
