    Typical Andrade fight... starts well... then goes "eh" for most of the fight, with glimpses of brilliance, covered by long spells of nothingness

    Good on Williams for making it a real fight... I could see it a draw if it weren't for that KD.

    115-112 Andrade

    Andrade is a tremendous athlete who can box but i miss something to call him a natural born fighter

    Best case I could do for Williams is 115-112. Rounds 3, 7 and 10 were close which I JUST gave to Andrade.

    He fought the last 6 rounds like I thought he'd fight most of the 12. But I still think he won reasonably clearly, albeit it turned scrappy and Andrade was the main reason for it. Williams just wasn't effective enough with his aggression for me. Chasing shadows and when he did get in close, often smothering his punches.

    Charlo would KO Andrade but it’s too bad the people around him don’t have faith in him..

    Andrade won but the scores were ridiculous. Williams never had a chance outside of a KO.

    The clinching is part of it. Is what is. Great fight between two good fighters. Andrade caught a good second win and landed the best shots. A clear but no easy win.

    Smh. It's a tactic and at times necessary, but that was excessive
