Librado Andrade vs. Yusef Mack - Unsung FOTY Candidate

Andrade's a badass.:smoke

 

There were some fireworks early with Andrade hitting the deck, but Mack tiring out and then quitting mid fight kind of ruined it for me.

Give me Taylor-Pavlik so far as FOTY.

 

Hope he either improves or gets some really good paying top level fights soon, because he won't be around much longer with his style.:yep

I hope he ends up all right when it's all done, guy has a steel chin, but nobody needs to eat shots like that.

 

That was pretty sloppy too. Pavlik's a bit sloppy and Taylor's flawed to hell with little smooth fluidity, I only enjoyed seeing the overrated Taylor finally removed by a B level Pavlik.:yep

It's not like Andrade wouldn't have gotten Taylor either.:yep

 

That guy is ****ing tough. Haven't seen the fight my self (where can I see it). I guess that Mack must have got him cold chinned in the first round? - I thought it was impossible to drop Andrade after the Kessler/Andrade fight.

 

Yes it was sloppy, but it was still a world class boxing match.

And no, Andrade doesn't beat either guy by any stretch of the imagination. :nono

 

The odds on this match were so nice.. -160 for Andrade to win and +110 for it to go under 9.5 rounds. On bodog it went from -160 to -290 within an hour so they realized that they created a dumb line. After the 2nd or 3rd round where Mack started fighting Andrade's fight, I knew he would be stopped within a few rounds. The guy has horrible stamina and he was up against a fighting machine. The HBO made a good point when they said that Mack's KD in the first round actually benefited Andrade because it gave Mack more confidence in fighting on the inside and throwing a ton of punches thinking he could KD him again and stop him. In one of the early-middle rounds Andrade threw 136 punches! The guy has no defense and average technique, but his titanium chin and nonstop pressure are dangerous to many pretty good fighters.

 

Pavlik is not B level and it wasn't that sloppy.

 

Heck no this fight was too sloppy

 

A level is Dawson, Kessler, Calzaghe etc.

Is Pavlik on that level? Not even close, more flawed than all of them.

 

LET ME GUESS...your a floyd fan

 

Yo I hate floyd:rofl I only like him at certain times...but this fight was sloppy Mack should have finished Andrade,

And Andrade is so dirty also
