Correct. The Margarito parallel actually runs a lot deeper than just cheen. If you're going to call Tony a puncher (and most do), you have to call Librado one, in the same mold. Strong untiring attrition hurters is what they are.
I love Andrade but he gets whupped here. Tavaris deserves more recognnition than he gets and i would not be surprised if he ends up being the best LH after all the potential big fights that could develop between the super 6 and Dawson,Cloud at LH. Andrade should go for the guy he already kod Stieglitz who happens to hold a title. Id like to see Andrade grab a title and thats his best shot there.
Yep. This is what I was talking about. I got a kick out of the telecast that Kessler, who kicked Andrade's ass and who most consider to have a good chin, said after their fight "I'm stupid to stand in front of you, and anyone who stands in front of you is stupid."
Cloud's management has a lot to do with why he's not more known than he is. They turned down a deal with HBO because they didn't want to face Dawson, and he's been horribly inactive since taking over. It's a shame because he is an exciting fighter, but it's tough to get new fans if you don't get in the ring often enough to generate some hype. He's not at the stage where he's got the fanbase to make good money fighting once a year, let alone the in-ring effects of continuously having long layoffs.
Xplosive you're usually good about putting up polls. I'd like to see one here (particularly a public one) to see what goofballs might have voted for Andrade in this (or any outcome other than "Cloud by KO"). Add one now. :good
