I can. Not saying he’s definitely going to win, but he just might. I think he’ll give Andrade all he can handle.
Based on what? Keeler did well against Arias, although in the first half of the fight Arias was outboxing him before he ran out of steam. Other than that, Keeler doesn't have the power or experience to trouble Andrade for me. Just 3 fights ago, Keeler boxed a fighter who was 2-4-1. There is a severe gulf in class here and Keeler will be thoroughly dominated for me. Just an opinion, but Matchroom wouldn't be signing Andrade to a 4 fight extension if they thought Keeler was a live dog in this fight.
Thats true. I'm not denying it. I admit I'm putting on the green Jersey here. I'm basing what I'm saying on the fact that Keeler held a full time job until 18 months ago. He has improved massively since going full time pro. Arias was well prepared, had boxed at a higher level, and was very confident going in. Arias was certainly on a par with the kind of opponent Andrade has been beating is he not? Andrade is favourite of course and should win. But I think a hungry hard charging Keeler will make him work harder than people think. Besides I'm on a roll at the moment having predicted Ryder would beat Smith and Munguia would stop spike late.!!
Keeler has certainly improved in the last 18 months but Andrade is levels above, should be a routine nights work for Andrade. Late stoppage imo.
I reckon Andrade has completely underestimated Keeler. Keeler hits harder than his record would suggest. He wasn't supposed to beat arias either remember.....
The problem is that, although Keeler surprised a few, this is a different kettle of fish, Andrade is a couple of levels above Arias and it will show. Andrade stops this by the 7th or 8th I think.
Me too, I really would love to see an upset, I just don't see Keeler stopping Andrade and I think that's his only hope.
This content is protected Luke seems genuinely very relaxed and confident. Says he will win, and it doesn't sound like bravado, he says it calmly and confidently.
