Is Andrade a freak of nature?

The dude has an iron chin as if he really is the terminator, I remember watching the kessler fight and Kessler threw some of the hardest bombs a boxers has ever thrown at a fighter and Andrades crazy ass still came forward!!! Wth??? It's unreal how hard this guys chin is, and he only looked like he lost that fight because his offense was pretty piss poor compared to kesslers... Andrade is a sick fighter, and he is becoming better with each fight. Out of all the fighters I know, I think I would be most afraid to fight someone like Andrade just because he doesn't seem to get seriously hurt, if anyone ever ko's andrade I'm going to be quite suprised, I don't think its possible. http://www.boxnews.com.ua/photos/1170/Mikkel-Kessler-Andrade5.jpg Hard ass punches like that probably would have ko'd nearly most opponents.

Bute seems like a smart fighter to me. He'll keep Andrade at a safe distance with his jab and excellent footwork. I'd love to see Andrade win, but I can't imagine that happening in Montreal. I honestly haven't watched any of Bute's fights so I was just wondering, since Andrade is now his mandatory. I'll have to look a few up and check them out. You're right though, unless Andrade stops him, it'd be tough to win a decision in Montreal, since that's probably where the fight would be. Still, you never know, from what I've heard about Bute, this could be a really great fight! :boxing:

Yeah his chin is made of Iron. I mean outside of just flat out getting him out of there with a barrage of punches (Forrest knocking Mosley down is an example of that) you aren't knocking him out. Those kinds of guys can take a baseball bat to the side of the head while reading Shakespear from a script. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

I don't care what anyone says or what technical faults he has, Andrade is must watch TV when he fights. Anybody that fights like that will automatically be involved in exciting fights. One of the premium networks should snatch up Andrade/Bute. That has potential to be one hell of a fight.

If you look at every punch Andrade takes he rolls his head with the punch so it doesn't do that much damage, if you look at the picture with him getting hit you can see his head turned all the way to the side. Lennox Lewis did this against Tua and took Tua's shots very well. Yeah I noticed that as well. I mean he still takes huge shots, but by rolling with the punches it lessens it effectiveness. It's crazy watching Andrade, it seems like when he takes punches the other fighter takes more damage mainly to his confidence. Becuase when you hit the guy with your best shots, yet he's still coming back at you acting like those shots didn't even hit him, that must not be to encouraging. Just because of his chin and will he can win quite a few fights. The question is how long can he take that punishment.

Great chin, underrated ability to roll punches. I was surprised Lewis pointed it out so early.

So how do you guys think he'll do against Lucian Bute? I'd like to see this guy win a world title. I don't know how long his reign would last, but it'd be nice to see him win one. :boxing: Bute seems like a smart fighter to me.

If Miranda and Andrade fought what do you think the outcome would be? Miranda has KO'd Eastman who also has an iron chin but Andrade's chin is probably better. If you look at every punch Andrade takes he rolls his head with the punch so it doesn't do that much damage, if you look at the picture with him getting hit you can see his head turned all the way to the side. Lennox Lewis did this against Tua and took Tua's shots very well.

He could probably take a baseball bat to the chin and not even be fazed.

I think Andrade is just a guy with an amazing chin- but more than that, some of these guys aren't devestating punchers. Kessler aside I don't think Mack, Muller or Stieglitz are exactly power punchers. Honestly, I like the guy but I see him falling apart in a few years. Every punch he's taken is going to hit him at once, quickly, and his career is going to fall apart. He takes far too much punishment to have longevity. Like a Baldomir I hope he gets in a large money fight and then retires and gets his ass out of the ring- neither of them are overly skilled, but you can't help but root for them.

Mack caught Andrade with a shot that just surprised him, he didn't see it coming. He was never hurt again in that fight.

yusaf mack dropped him hard which was strange was it a low blow or something, its odd how someone like Yusaf Mack had andrade down but all the punches kessler landed didn't phase the guy at all. I know boxers throw their heads sometimes to take the power out of the punches but kessler landed some bombs that looked like andrade wasn't throwing his head as much to take the power out of em. He looked better tonight and I could tell he took alot of power away from some of the punches, but he still gets hit cleanly sometimes and takes it pretty well.

Unbelievable chin. Kellerman's comments on it in the Kessler fight were pretty funny. "Where are the welts or bruises...he's not even marking up...he's like a cyborg!"
