Liam Williams gave Demetrius Andrade a tougher fight than it initially seemed he would Saturday, but Andrade fended off the determined Welshman.
Andrade defeated Williams by unanimous decision in their 12-round fight for Andrade’s WBO middleweight title. Judges Gerardo Martinez (116-111), Benoit Roussel (118-109) and Roark Young (118-109) credited the left-handed Andrade for defeating Williams in DAZN’s main event at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
The undefeated Andrade dropped Williams in the second round and appeared well on his way to an easy, early victory. A gritty Williams was able to withstand that trouble and made this a rough, physical fight by relentlessly pressuring Andrade, who still won comfortably on all three scorecards.
