It is my favourite boxing channel. He is a great analyst. Interesting that he is a professional football analyst, and applies his experience as an amateur boxer/boxing hardcore to analysing boxing too. I would highly recommend you tune into his channel.
Everytime I watch a video of his I learn something, he’s a brilliant analyst of boxing - much much better than anything on TV for example. He see’s things a lot of people wouldn’t
I listened to him for the 1st time on the video above. In the first 10secs he mentioned Connor Benns "masterclass performance" That's when I switched it off. I'd heard enough to make an informed opinion on Chris Andre.
I've watched him once. Aside from being bland, I think he tries to sound smart for the sake of sounding smart. He's like a Poundland Dwyer, for me. Dywer is a genuinely intelligent guy, whatever people think about him, I definitely don't get that from this guy.
10 seconds? Go listen to his old videos from back when people were saying pricey would dominate the division and fury was some big useless laughing stock, Chris was adamant fury would be the next dominant champion and was adamant he would beat Wlad, he has called a lot right and is a hell of a lot smarter than Dwyer which I just seen someone mention. Go and watch some of his technical breakdowns, Hatman was the first guy who told everyone to get on this guys channel because even hatman said Chris’ knowledge is off the scale, and hatman isn’t Excatly a donut
I watch all of Dwyer and Andre's vids and there's no question who knows more about the technicalities of boxing.
Hilarious. Dwyer is a Stanford graduate and lawyer who has represented the likes of Andre Ward. Chris Andre, I hear, is some kind of football analyst. Do you know what that involves? I know several people in that job, in England and Scotland, and they are essentially responsible for doing tedious quantitative analysis, number crunching, with data being passed on to the coaches. Collating data, compiling graphs and other such visual representations of data. You lost all credibility when you said Hatman is not exactly a doughnut. One of the biggest egoists in all of the internet, surely. A complete pretender among other things. The difference between Dwyer and these others is that he doesn’t claim to be an expert. He repeatedly says he’s just a fan offering opinions at a virtual round table. Hatman, like countless other tradesman, office workers, bin men, Tesco workers and whatever else, boxed as an amateur. That means absolutely nothing. He thinks he’s an expert, he has previously admitted to trying to become more like Dwyer. The guy can’t even put himself on the screen and has to use about 150 jump cuts per video after almost every sentence and sometimes uses words that literally don’t make sense contextually, in an attempt to sound smart. Hatman is suitable for the Aydamn’s of this world.
Well if his knowledge is off the scale why did he call Benns performance against Chris a "masterclass" What he should of said was,"Benn got done what he had to do and put in a decent performance, and also a good finish against an old pro, who had been out of the competative mindset for a quite a few year". Chris had now invested his passions into other areas that did not include lacing up a pair of gloves. Sure he had a fight about 6 month ago but that was all part of Hearns plan. So that Chris would look a bit more legit. Once inside the ring you could tell that Chris had slid. His balance was shocking and the thing that he usually depended on, which was keeping the range behind the jab, Chris now abandoned in favour of counterpunching and in particular, looking for the left hook counter. Why did he choose to opt for this strategy? Because Benn is wide open to counterpunchers, and Chris felt that Benn was so bad in this area it would be a risk worth taking. That he (Chris) should choose to abandon his usual strategy of movement behind the jab. It was obvious to see that this was a faded version of Chris. But he was still savvy enough to identify Benns, very weak, "weaknesses" He gave it a good go but Benn was a bit too young, fresh and athletic for the aging Algeri. Benn put in a decent performance but was countered a lot by the senior man. Ben did put a good finish together as well as some other "Good moves" which was worthy of of us all agreeing that he does seem to have developed and progressed. No way on planet earth was that a masterclass. If you are prepared to make boxing podcasts and give your opinion on boxing, if you want to be seen and heard to be balanced then you shouldn't really be heard calling that a masterclass. People might start to wonder if your on Hearns payroll.
