It isn’t known by many but local boxing phenom Andre Ward raises his game at our very own Gamespeed.  The Dublin resident has been undergoing a special boxing specific speed and power training program developed by coach Aaron Thigpen. With a combination of private training and open gym sessions the unassuming champion comes in and quietly goes about his work.  He is always approachable and friendly with parents and athletes, a contrast to the boistrous boxing types you commonly see on TV.

We just concluded our three month training cycle and he’s off for the title fight for the World Super Six Boxing Classic Title in Atlantic City, NJ December 17th.

We wish you the best Andre. Pay per view here I come!
