Yeah that is questionable. Andarde hasnt really been in the ring with a banger, I think it hard to imagine him taking the shots he takes from a banger. I think that he is in for a beatting ala Shane vs Margo down the road.
Kessler hit him with everything but the kitchen's sink over 12 rounds and he didn't even look he had been in a fight.
If you take 12 rounds of flush unanswered punches from Paulie Malignaggi, you're bound to go down once. 12 rounds of flush punches from Mikkel Kessler would kill ya. Hell Kessler put that one dude on a stretcher after 10 rounds of punishment. I think Andrade could get KO'd (anybody can) but I don't see a single guy in the SMW division who can do it.
Andrade is very, very likeable, and, even without the wraps, is a better/harder puncher than Marg. His response to the end of the Bute fight was brilliant, hopefully he gets another chance to avenge that loss. If not, Andrade vs the winner of Froch-Taylor is what I want to see :good
Andrade - Froch would be brilliant. It would probably go the distance but it would be a slugfest for the whole 12.
Andrade is a very tough fellow. He seems to now recognize that he has to stay busy punching for the full 12 rounds. If he has full confidence in his stamina, he is going to be a force at 168, and a threat to all of the champs....even Kessler who he lost to. Andrade is going to knock Bute out this time.
i can see him winning a belt although i won't favor him to win against the likes of froch,taylor,kessler,pavlik,bhop
