Andrade vs Mack

You honestly think Andrade can be an elite fighter? Don't get me wrong I respect the guy for his chin/heart/fighting style (fun to watch), but he is sloppy as hell with no defense. He doesn't even plant when he throws for christs sake.

 

Andrade got Jeff Lacied by Kessler. I think it's already apparent that he is not elite, just a solid gatekeeper with an off chance of snatching a paper title.

 

What I mean is that, assuming everything else is in good order, of those two flaws (lack of technique and weak chin), the latter is presumably going to get you in more trouble against top-caliber fighters.

I don't know about Andrade's chances as a beltholder, especially with the gold-gobbling dynamic duo of Mikkel and Joe around (he loses to both of them 10 out of 10 times), but I favor his chances over anyone below those two moreso than I do Berrio's. As for head-to-head? Well, Berrio's probably not going to knock Andrade out. Berrio does have more power than Mack, but not by that much. Is he going to outhustle Andrade to a decision? Can he survive Andrade's pace, and will his chin hold up long enough for it to even reach the cards? :think

 

aha gotcha - I agree with this reasoning

 

I think top guys at 168 beat the mexican easy

 

He already did

 

this was the best fight of the ppv...

 

:good yeah i agree! short but full of action.

barrera successfully made the main event a little less exciting.
