    Very good fight. I'll say Abraham wins by decision. I don't see him ko'ing Andrade since the guy has a jaw basically made out of steel.

    Fighting with Andrade takes its toll. Making your opponent gas is part of the game.

    Yes, he moved up to LHW.

    i dont think aa can win a decision since andrade throws so many more punches, but i do think he can stop him late after landing big flush shots. but its a tossup..

    Is your assessment based on his match with Kessler? Anyone but Calzaghe has looked bad against him. It's an unfair match do base his abilities from.

    21 of his opponents didn't see his punches from a mile away.

    Abraham easy. With Andrade's sloppy punches and Abraham's turtle shell defense, he'll be hitting shoulders and elbows all night, while Abraham will be nailing him with hard counters. I could see it being one of those fights where half the people on here say Andrade got robbed because he threw twice as many punches, ignoring the fact that barely any of them landed cleanly.

    This would be a hell of a fight. I don't think Abraham is active enough to win on points. Abraham is one of the hardest punchers out there, but Andrade probably has the best chin of almost any current fighter. Hmmm.....

    Hard fight to predict. It could go both ways.
