The story of the underdog

Major fan of Andre Ward as a boxer very cool to know the man behind the boxing and his story of overcoming continuous adversity. I’m very motivated by Andre and his relationship with God is truly amazing for a man to have went through so much and to remain so decent as a man not cussing and etc. is remarkable. I tried to be similar of a man as Andre Ward great book. I encourage many people to listen, even if you’re not a boxing fan.

What a battle and success

I am a distant boxing fan not passionate about the sport but I love when people demonstrate what hard work will do and this book is a story of hard work and success through faith. I enjoyed the book and admire Mr. Ward for telling his story.

Perseverance and Gods faithfulness
