As expected, Andrade was too slick and skillful. It’s really between him and Alvarez at this point in the MW, and I think Andrade takes that match up.
Charlo saunders and jacbs too! All great fights
Look forward to seeing that fight. I’d take Canelo, the more composed and versatile boxer, over the distance.
I’m not seeing what everyone else is in Andrade. Billy j.o would have unan or k.od him .
Same here, Nathan. He’s exciting, but he’s a front-runner, too. As the fight wore on he was out of ideas and trying not to get hurt. The judge missed a knockdown of Andrade. I doubt Kautondokwa would have got within a mile of touching Saunders.
I haven’t seen this guy in years..
