well he does sometimes im afraid, i'll rewatch afew and let you know who where and when. He IS my fave fighter BTW.
Try Mundine, Andrade and watch the Calzaghe fight although his moving backwords was not as good in this because of the pressure by Calzaghe. But he still was on his toes for the most part, Kessler is not clumsy and he judges distance well so he can move his feet into the space.
I know Kessler has great footwork, but i've just seen afew things when he's bin pressured. I've got all those fights plus 13 others. Its just what came to my mind at the time, cause he likes to jump straight back, he kinda leans back first, then his feet kinda go back under him and takes sec to get stabalised. Nothing critical as it doesn't damage his performance, just something that caught my eye.:good
That is not realy him being pressured, if you watch the Andrade fight again that is him being pressured. What you are talking about is just how he responds to punches when on the front foot or having to quickly change his footwork from attack-defence. It is different from being under pressure.
I do, I think is more of a problem when somebody has faster hands thanm him to he honest. With him looking foa punch and then being beaten too it. .
I will root for Andrade no matter who he fights -- even types as Pavlik and Calzaghe. The man is the embodiment of everything respectable in the sport of boxing.
So will I...just like I support Kessler against everyone, these days. Bute v. Andrade, I will want Bute to win, though. But if Andrade wins, after a bit of disappointment for Bute, I will be very happy for Librado!
I like Andrade... his style is very flawed and very good, all-around fighters will always give him problems (in SMW I see Mundine, Bute, Taylor, Pavlik and Calzaghe defeating him) but I will always watch his fights.
Andrade is one of my absolute favourite fighters. (But his career wont last as long as others' would). Andrade is a treat for boxing as a sport. You gotta love the dude.
Yeah, hell with it , Andrade is a fine and cool dude. I just couldn't buy the other day when the 168 mafia were saying he's on the cusp of ATG.
