tough fighters. I mean both took a ton of shots that would have put most away, and than came back and destroyed their opponents in the end. mad props to both, and it's nice to see a throwback win at all costs mentality. neither may be the most technical, but it just goes to show how far heart, and toughness can take you! respect!
Marg, and Andrade are some tough....

They're both scary.
If you haven't got a good chin and good stamina, flat out you're getting KO'd. It must be fighting Michael Myers from Haloween. They just keep coming back.Comment

yeah man, it's gotta be very disheartening to beat a dude, and hit him with everything you have, yet he keeps getting stronger, and coming forward!Comment

Andrade differs from Margarito for his less activity and less variety of punches. If he was more active and went to the body more in his last fight he woulda put Bute on the canvas way before the last second of the 12ve, assuring him the winComment

They both have an amazing ability to take a punch but Andrade's not human in that sense considering he doesn't swell or bleed and CHOOSES to take punches in the face as shown in this exert below.
Andrade has an unorthodox defensive styles that makes it difficult for him to win matches via decision. He does not like to block punches with his arms and gloves. Andrade says blocking the punches makes his arms go numb. Therefore, he chooses to in effect block the punches with his face. Andrade will let his opponents deliver clean shots to his head and try to roll with the punches so that they do no damage. This may be an effective defensive technique. However, to the official scorers it looks like Andrade is being hit in the head very hard the entire round. Therefore, Andrade will lose many rounds where he took no damage. Using that defensive technique, Mikkel Kessler dealt what appeared to be a scary life altering beating on Andrade winning the their match 120-108 on all of the official judges' scorecards. However, at the end of the night Andrade did not have a mark on his face and apparently left the match with no significant damage.Comment
