Librado Andrade vs. Aaron Pryor Jr. & Enrique Ornelas vs. Hector Hernandez RBR

I just texted B1 to 55333 to let Telefutura know that IMO the boxer who is more macho between the two is Librado Andrade.

Feel free to do the same, or text B2 if you feel Aaron Pryor Jr. is more macho.

 

Round 1

Hard right hand by Andrade. Pryor backs off and tries to stay tall. Andrade bullies his way in and gets pushed and pretzeled by the gangly Pryor. Andrade eats a hard 1-2 while coming forward. Pryor jabs long and backs up. Andrade swipes at the body and misses. Hard jab and right to the body by Andrade. He's getting closer. Pryor throws a 1-2 up high and gets his arms glued to the sides of Andrade's head, pinning it. This is pretty ugly, tbh. Not as good as the opener so far.

 

Round 2

Pryor lands a right hand and gets moving. Pryor lands to the body with both hands. Pryor is actually looking pretty effective here, except for the fact that any one of his long punches that lands sends reverberating shockwaves up his arms and nearly sends him off balance (with his wide stance not helping matters). He looks very susceptible to a flash knockdown, although he's defending Andrade's rushes fairly well and not getting tagged too cleanly. Andrade doesn't give up and keeps punching and grabbing at Pryor's midsection. Pryor keeps his forearms tight together up by his face and circles. Clinch. Andrade just keeps coming. Jab to the head by Pryor, then a hard right hand combs Andrade's curly hair as he's being turned. Pryor lands hard off the ropes and grins, showing his mouthpiece. Pryor hooks and clinches as Andrade gets up in his face in his Clottey shell. Andrade ineffectively swats at him with wide looping shots but does back him into the ropes and there is able to smash through and land a bit.

I've got Andrade down 20-18. Pryor is just doing enough good clean work and he isn't. Andrade definitely looks much stronger, though.

 

Round 3

Pryor comes hopping in behind a three-punch combo before leaning and backpedaling away. Pryor claps the sides of Andrade's head, impeded by the backs of the shorter man's gloves. Andrade takes a flush right and shakes it off, still eking his way in. Pryor keeps countering him hard with head shots and staying on the move. Andrade comes hammering in and thinks he has Pryor trapped on the ropes but can't fasten him down. Pryor just rushes to meet him with an intercepting double forearm and leans into a clinch. Andrade chases him and willingly walks right into a flickering stream of jabs. NASTY RIGHT CROSS BY PRYOR!!! OMG!! 1-2 by Pryor and he skirts away.

30-27

 

Round 4

Pryor throws a 1-2 that scrapes the sides of Andrade's head and gets it pinned again under the Little Hawk's wing in a headlock. Andrade is still committed to his gameplan of "Screw it, get in there and bang away no matter how many hard blinding hits you take" and it's having the effect one might expect. Andrade is really taking a licking here. Pryor is only getting caught with the very ends of clubbing blows by Andrade as he comes forward almost windmilling and flicking out both arms hard but with poor alignment.

40-36 :err

 

Those of us who voted "B1" in the "quien es el mas macho" text message poll may be on our way to looking a bit foolish...:!:


except...no, scratch that. Andrade is DEFINITELY the more macho. He's just getting beaten. :yep

 

Round 5

Andrade finally lands big as his persistence pays off! Pryor is rocked by a high right hand and seeks solace on the ropes, pulling Andrade into a tie-up. Andrade keeps on him and lets his hands go, with a few more shots stunning Pryor and prompting those long limbs to come slithering around Andrade like he was a preteen Japanese virgin in a tentacle porn anime. Andrade is landing the better shots when they aren't clinching, which is admittedly fairly often. So in that respect, Pryor is still doing a good job - in delaying what could be that TKO loss BE predicted.

49-46 Pryor Jr.
