    Librado Andrade

    Does anybody think Librado Andrade will ever win a world title belt? The guy has one of the biggest hearts in boxing, one of (if not the) best chins in the sport and power in both hands that wears down opponents.

    Obviously his major flaw is his defense and the fact that he's WAY too easy to hit.

    I mean, obviously he wasn't much competition for Kessler and it would probably be more of the same agains Calzahge. But how about the IBF title holder Alejandro Berrio from Colombia? I've honestly never seen him fight so I don't know how good he is or what his style is. Would Librado have a good chance against him?

    He's got a ton of heart and very likeable guy. I hope he does win a title some day. And I think theirs a good chance since theirs so many titles.

        That's what I'm saying. The guy is likeable and gives his opponents tons of respect. I know it'd be damn near impossible for him to be the recognized man at SMW. But even if he wins one of the alphabet titles, that'd be cool for him.

          I remeber after the Kessler fight, Merchant asked him, "Are you human?" He just laughed and said yes.

            Yeah, that was good stuff! He took so many clean power shots and didn't have a single mark on him!

            So does anyone know anything about this Alejandro Berrio guy who holds the IBF's SMW belt?

              I agree with this. He takes chances and that's a good thing.
              I hope he does and thank god he was on Saturday nights PPV.

                "When I got knocked down in the first round, I thought WOW...the world is falling ontop of me, thats funny."- Librado..he said somthin like that.

                Then he gets up to win the fight, lol this guy is ****in hilarious.

                As for him winnin a belt, his right hand was nice and short all night. I just don't think he's fast enough. Kessler shut him out with Power shots and decent foot work. Not brilliant foot work, but decent foot work. Librado will do alright by way of his talents, but I don't see him takin a belt. Hope he proves me wrong though, lol cause this guy is just a prime example of a throwback tough guy.

                  Remember, there is a good chance he would have to take the IBF belt from Bute, since he's fighting Berrio 19/10.
                  I think Bute will be to much for Andrade, but you never know. If anyone looses focus or gets to tired to move, you'd know Andrade would be right there.

                    I've only seen Andrade twice, but both times he's been pretty poor. I know there's a big gap down from Kessler to the #3 in the division but still ....
