    Andrade has the chin to rival a rocky 4 Balboa!

    I don't know.

    The poll makes me uncomfortable, because I think it would be a very unhealthy fight for both.

    This would be the chin testing competition of the century!

    I'd favor Andrade's workrate and short shots - IF I wasn't fairly certain Librado is fading fast, and on the way out. Because of that I'm not so decided, but it would definately be a styles and attributes pick. Nobody in this one is a world beater.

    Froch in a fight of decade contender.

    Both fighters behind going into the 12th and and ending with a double KD in the dying seconds of the fight.

    Andrade knocks Froch out imo.

    Froch is a tough guy though so he could of course last the distance but either way i don't see him winning this one while against Taylor it wasn't much of a surprise.

    I think Andrade would knock Taylor out in 7 or 8 rounds

    I dunno... I think Andrade's still on the upswing; he's branching out into different skills (relatively speaking) and his uppercut just keeps getting better and better.

    Andrade losing will just about always keep me as a fan just as much as a win would. Froch would lose my attention pretty quickly a loss, depending how it goes down. Either way, neither man is going to be crushed by me losing interest in them...

    I like Andrade in this match-up. He wouldn't exactly have to move forward much to apply that pressure.

    This would be a war. But Froch will go as far as his Chin and his power will take him.....he can't knock andrade out and he's not big enough to deal with his strength. This fight is all wrong for him. So is the kessler fight. I'm glad to see that most people on the poll are choosing andrade. We definitely have an educated croud here at ESB.

    Froch would have to pull a Ricky Hatton against Urango and be the boxer. But I don't think that Froch can do that.

    Why? he's not slower than andrade. And he picks his shots better. It seems that you should leave ESB as you aren't as smart as the rest of us.

    :D Yup! I'll be glad to find out, either way. It's hard to judge whether skill level is going up or down on a fighter like him, though... trying to tamp my bias down to a realistic level on this guy is tough, too.
