    Andrade gets seriously overrated. He's been schooled 23 rounds of 24 at elite level.

      You are right about this, he's a crude, unskilled brawler.

      But his strength and chin mean he's dangerous for all 12 rounds, so his opponents need to be careful, and not be foolish like Bute and try to knock him out.

        I think Super middleweight is just as good as Welter at this point.

          Do you consider him particularly powerful? I don't, his high ko ratio is a product of his high pressure style.

            Strength and power are two different things though, Andrade does have power and a solid aggressive work rate.

              Andrade misses a lot, but his opponents certainly appear to be affected when he does land. So yes, he is obviously strong.

                he;s gotta be pretty strong to bully his opponents around ... and hes not a one punch kayo artist or anything but has good punch power cause they do take a toll on his opponents. also he is a great finisher that combo with a high workrate is obviously why his kayo ratio is so good ...

                  Anyone with half a brain knows Bute schools him if he sticks to what he's good at. I laugh at these fools who say Andrade wins a rematch.

                    I can agree with all of that, a tough fight for anyone at SMW.

                      I rate them as VERY sexy.

                      Andrade, the big rough tough caveman.
                      Kessler, the handsome muscular charmer with the sexy tattoos.
                      Andre Ward, he showed tonight that he likes to hold his man close, very nice.

                      I'd let them all bum me any day of the week

                      Oo er, I am naughty!
