    I think he is a pretty basic weight bully.

    Benavidez wasn't bad at all but he's a huge puncher and he beat up a much smaller guy. He did what he should have done.

    Considering I picked Benavidez KO, with zero forethought or analysis, the moment the match was announced. Because the outcome was that obvious, nah, not in the least. It was standard issue weight bully dragging up a smaller fragile fighter.

    I thought Andrade would last a couple more rounds, so he surpassed my expectations.

    I knew Andrade was only going to trouble Benavidez for a couple rounds before it catches up to him. People underestimate Benavidez. He's a very skillful offensive fighter. You give him one opening and he's going to make you pay and your whole gameplan goes out the window.

    Nothing makes big pressure fighters look better than fighting smaller lighter punching boxers.

    “dragging up a smaller fragile fighter.”

    This is your logic and rationale is it?

    Andrade wanted the fight otherwise he wouldn’t have took it.

    Definitely impressed how ever it’s clear there’s a reason he’s trying to undermine the threat of Morrell. A fighter with the same power and size.

    Yeah it's my rationale and logic, as to why I PERSONALLY WASN'T IMPRESSED. Good for Andrade for cashing out on a PPV fighting a much bigger man, but am I supposed to be kissing the ass of that wackadoodle headcase Jermall Charlo for doing the same ****ing thing?

    Yes. He did well against a very slick fighter who is hard to land on. Took a few rounds but once he landed in the fourth it was all over.
