He is not a gatekeeper to being a contender, he is a gatekeeper to being an elite fighter. Aging and still putting in a good showing in defeat...
Didnt he get dropped 4 times in the 30 rounds?
You can watch this fight on youtube. Countless hours of it. Just search something like "Canelo + heavy bag."
Good find and post. Somehow didnt remember that. Boy, he should have taken it. Taking a big L would have just set him up for opportunities anyway,...
I think Andrade was a very highly touted amateur. Seems to have great respect within the boxing community. Cant get anyone very good to fight him....
How could anyone be upset about this? Hes jumping up to freakin' CW and fighting a top 5 guy...
Madness! And to see posters are getting their excuses in already is pathetic... and telling.
^ Crawford also beat Ricky Burns in Scotland to lift the WBO title before unifying against the other two.
