Andrade's opponent was VERY awkward... I think anybody would look bad yeah Andrade could've looked a little cleaner but come on that guy has that herky-jerky style where he just busts out with slappy combinations not very effective but you look bad.
Molina was just totally outclassed, wasn't on his toes at all coming in very sloppy with his hands and feet.
Hopefully Sadam Ali can shine a bit tonight but I wouldn't get hopes up...
Dan Campbell isn't a very good cornerman.
Javier Molina looked alot like Rau Shee Warren in 04, undeveloped, young and inexperienced. He looked like he just wasnt ready, he didint cut the ring off, he followed the guy while he just picked his shots, not to mention the guy he was fighting was physically imposing, he just didint look ready.
Andrade has never impressed me. Hes from RI and when im in MA (they are very close) I seen him at a lot of the shows. Hes never really impressed me.
Andrade will not medal, if he does it will be because of biased judging. Ive seen like 20 of Andrade's fights, hes really nothing special.
Dude, how can he be nothing special?!? im not sure, but i think i remember you saying you boxed. if not, you have at least seen enough fights to know how hard it is just to win a match in the open divisions. its fucking tough man. its like a full-time job- you have to be working every day or you can't really cut it.
Now, Andrade is a 2 time national champion and a world champion. how can he be "nothing special?!?" he seems pretty damn good to me. i mean, he was a little tight in his first olympic match, but i see him getting better throughout the tournament. even if he loses, you can't say shit about this guy with what he's accomplished already.
Hes on his way to being the next Juan Manuel Lopez, who'd you think would win?
Well DelValle is at 130 right now i think so i dunno if thed ever meet, Juanma is a big 122 though.
DelValle was supposed to fight the other night but he didnt. He has looked very impressive in hs first two fights. But i mean hes fought guys with 0-1 and 0-2 records. Its waaaaaaay to early to say how he could compete with Juanma. I still thnk DelValle should have tried to make the Olympics, i mean he has wins over Sadam Ali, the USA representive in his weight class. I dont know why he rushed to turn pro, he could have got much more exposure.
he has a lot of potential though.
DelValle's 2nd pro fight
I've never seen him before todays fight but I thought Andrade did fine. Great combos, nice jab and fast hands. The only thing i didn't like was the way he leaves himself open when he goes in for the attack. He got tagged quite a few times and got sloppy defensively.
Making excuses hmmm. Andrade will medal, he IS a very impressive fighter.
what excuses? I said Molina lost because his opponent was more experienced, Molina is a young kid.
Andrade will not medal, if he does it will be because of biased judging. Ive seen like 20 of Andrade's fights, hes really nothing special.
Who fights today and what time?
Im watchng some fights tonight at 12am thats all i know. There are some during the day but i have to work 2-11 so i am catchng some fights today when i get home. Welter and light-welter i believe they already happened just a replay.
on a side note..... Man whats up with Luis DeValle? He was supposed to fight the other night and he didnt. Hes been very innactive as a pro. Man he could be in the Olympics right now if he just waited. Tons of potential. Yo got any info on what hes up to?

Molina is a very smart fighter, hes just young and his opponent has tons more experience than him haven already been in the 04 games and what not.

What u are about to read has a spoiler to the Andrade fight
The Georgiev looked great,dare i say it,he looked MUCH more impressive then Demetrius Andrade,Andrade didnt really look special,he won by two/three points i think,and kinda looked sloppy,Raushee Warren is still my favorite to win gold,because he looks spectacular
Georgiev is surely in a different weight-class to Andrade though.
Javier Molina who represented light welter in the games has been eliminated:burnup:!!
Hes lost 14-1 to the 04 Bronze medalist from Georgiev.
damn it!
