Wow, I missed this memo. Along with the transplanted Bojado-Forbes fight, this makes the Barrera-Pacquiao card very attractive.
He's better than given credit for. He pressures well, uses his reach well and has endless stamina to go along with an unbreakable chin. A lot of guys will simply fold to this and get KOed.
No kidding, but it appears he's a lost cause, he lost about 90% of his amateur fights, showing a complete inability to adapt or learn, and still only plods forward throwing one punch at a time.
Andrade has done so well in the pros doing what he does best. Just hunting guys down. I dont think he can learn much now but a decent jab and some better tactics, even simple ones, could definitely help.
good crossroads fight. mack fell apart from the power of berrio and andrade is definatley in the berrio catergory. mack cannot make a mistake all night. mack is quite talented though so it is possible he will be able to stay away all fight. i still go wity andrade to catch him and finish him at some point though for an andrade win. good matchmaking though.
Andrade was made to look foolish against Kessler, but Kessler impressed me very much that fight. Still depiste losing maybe every round (i think I gave him one round), he kept constant pressure on Kessler and did land some good punches, but then Kessler would fire back rapid combinations swinging the round back in his favor (Kessler).
i like andrade great chin and resolve. he needs to work on his speed and timing so he can trade at the right moments. I doubt his defense can get any better at this point. he knows he aint going down so he can eat that shot from his oppenet. might as well use that advantage the most he can by taking that shot flush, but punching his oppenent at that vulnerable moment.
I don't know, if it's the kind of head movement you had in mind, but his head movement saved his ass from going down on dozen occations vs Kessler, diminishing or nullifying Kesslers power.
I should amend that to head and upper body movement. He could have been hit a lot less (maybe...Kessler was a cyborg that night)
They underrate him from the Kessler loss. They assume that because Kessler did not fold to the constant pressure that jokes like Jermain Taylor would not either. They also assume that he cannot get his power punches in, because they miss that Kessler displayed a top of the line defence and counter punching ability. I'd take Andrade over Bute for example, Bute would fold.
