Why don't Mexicans speak of Librado Andrade?

[Nacho_Analstain]

Hes a good fighter, Rock solid chin that's on par if not BETTER than Margaritos.
He doesn't duck anybody.
He fights like a warrior and has a huge heart.

Come to think of it, Why doesn't anybody speak of him at all? How does everybody think he will do against Bute?

He gained my respect in the Kessler fight.

Hes alright.... needs polishing but has potential. He was brutalized by Kessler it was painful to see how many shots he was eating.

This guy is a warrior very exciting to watch. I wonder why he's not highly regarded on here. And what about Linares? He has a bright future ahead of him as well.

Linares gets some hype, I'm yet to see him fight.

we´ve just seen one boxer/puncher in cotto get beaten by a pressure fighter..

prepare for the next one to happen as well..

andrade by late tko over bute..

see his fight against stieglitz, andrade is improving his skills.. he looked better in that fight, and just wore the opponent down.. very similar to margarito..

His chin is solid but he isn't on the level of Margarito. His chin is also very solid but he actually got put down pretty hard by Yusef Mack. I think the reason he has no hype is because he truly doesn't compete with the elite of the division at this point. Margarito is not all that skilled but he makes up for it enough to still make a competetive fight and have a good chance to win against absolutely anybody at 147, Andrade's power and work rate don't make up enough for his lack of skill.

He is not a guy I've given up on or don't care, I've been a fan of his for while, followed him and watch all of his fights. But my expectations aren't too high for him

I can't see Andrade beating Bute. from what i've seen of Andrade, most notably the Kessler fight, opposition who moves a lot bothers him, as he does not cut the ring very well. Bute is a slick southpaw who moves and use the ring very well, and he has lot of experience against pressure fighters. (His last two fights were against this type of opposition). I can see the fight going into a boring UD for Bute, similar to his fight with Bika.

As to Andrade's "rock solid chin", if you watch closely his fight, he is really good at rolling his head with the punches, thus limiting the impact of the punches landing at him. He had been hurt badly by Mack when he was caught by a good solid punch which he never saw coming.
