    but bad habits get developed when you blow guys out like that ... prime example is Andrade ... he's not learning anything ... and is depending too much on physical abilities ...

    I take it we're talking about Demetrius and not Librado.

    But happens do develop certainly they do...but Andrade is only in his 4th fight as a pro. You're talking about a guy whose still developing and maturing into his body let alone as a prospect. I don't think it's terrible for him to be fighting guys way below his level of competition until he gets his feet firmly planted on the ground.

    Now if he's still fighting guys like that when his 10th fight rolls around, we'll have a problem.

    why is Dirrell matched up with this guy who isn't anywhere near his level? ... how is this fight going to benefit Dirrell in any kinda way?

    David Banks pulled out and this is the only dude who'd take it on 2 weeks notice.

    Rigondeaux has 300 + amateur fights and is fighting a guy who's a walk over ...

    He should be fighting 6-8 rounds off top

    He also should take a page from Beibut Shumenov and fight some quality fighters ... in his 4th fight he was fighting 12 rounders and this guy hasn't won a gold medal.
    and with just 8 fights and 1yr and a half is already ready for a title shot.
