1) Very tight and spastic. No big surprise, given the expectations. 2) He's very fast and has quick feet, and he commits full-force to power shots. That means he'll be an entertaining pro. 3) He throws some good body shots and mixes in rapid combinations, somewhat similar to Chad Dawson. 4) Maybe it was the nerves, but his footwork was poor. He stumbled all over the place and seemed unable to establish a comfortable range. In short, he's an obvious talent, and it was nice to see him on something other than Youtube. Hopefully, this bout will give him confidence going forward.
You didn't think he was in this fight? It was like there was muscle echo, as he burned through a lot of nervous energy. Choppy, not able to get in rhythm. Very talented, though. What did you think?
Yeah, it was a pretty rough fight. I was impressed that Andrade accepted the roughness of it and dished some back. That bodes well.
Yeah, he's pretty tough. The guy was just wild and dirty. He'll do a lot better against Balanov, he's a cleaner boxer.
i hope andrade gets a gold but he will have to fight a great fight in his next fight against that russian i hope him the best though
I think his speed will pay off in that fight, provided he's a little more calm in that bout. Should be an excellent contest.
Balanov isn't that great. It'll be tough but Boo Boo can definitely beat him with his youth and athleticism.
