Williams KO's him Watch Andrades close fights with Culcay and Matirosyan. He is not as good as people make out and has been cherry picking like crazy for this reason
Ive read this is UK time? speaking of which, i've been racking my brain for days now trying to remember an American show that was shown at prime British time in the past year. I'm sure it was Top Rank so maybe on BT Sport. Can anyone remember???
I think I'll be doing the same too. Had subscribed for the Campbell Garcia fight and cancelled assuming a hike would happen as soon as there was another fight. £1.99 for these fights alone is crazy value. Maybe Hearn is leaving sky after all. Seems ludicrous a super fight such as BJS Canelo won't be on a major platform and will be £1.99...
A price hike is coming. They sent out some surverys getting a feel of what people would pay if certain fighters were on the platform.
I might be wrong, but I think it might've been Luke Campbell vs Ryan Garcia. It was one of DAZN's first shows since their launch in the UK, so could've been their way of getting UK customers to sign up.
The thing is we don't really know how Andrade would react to being hurt. Never really seen him hurt. Maybe he just has a great chin, maybe he just hasn't been hit properly yet. I have never seen him hit flush before so can't rate his chin. That kind of suggests he's pretty hard to hit and good defensively. He has had plenty of fights and fought solid operators. Seen him dropped a couple of times but they were just from poor balance. He moves so awkwardly tbf. I won't be surprised if Andrade gets dropped because he has before. I will be surprised if he gets hit clean, hard and hurt.
I want Williams to win, I hope he does but I think Andrade will have a little too much. Andrade can be tricky and awkward and he will use all of that here, Williams can dig a bit, has improved a lot of the past few years and has a punchers chance in my opinion. I just don't see Williams outboxing/outpointing Andrade, I think Andrade will play it reasonably safe and pick and fiddle his way to a decision.
I think this is a true 50/50 fight where it’s very hard to pick who to win. I think Andrade’s inactivity over the past few years, the fact he’s now 33 and probably starting to look at what he’ll do past boxing. Andrade has been down a couple of times, to lesser boxers than Williams. I have no doubt that at some point Andrade will touch the canvas, it will just be the parts inbetween that will define the bout. I have a feeling that the judges wont be an issue for a hometown decision - Andrade’s style doesn’t necessarily lead to good judging outcomes hence why Culcay and Fox have taken rounds off him. American judges often aren’t too polite to defensive boxers - take Mayweather for example, with the MDs against Maidana and Canelo.
Andrade's been a pro since 2008 and really hasn't beaten anyone of note..wilder style.hope Liam knocks him sparko.
Did exactly the same the other night. I subscribed for the Campbell fight and GGG then cancelled. I assumed by now it would have gone up in price, but no, so I subscribed again and will probably cancel in May or June.
