How good did Andrade look tonight? (Rating performance/eye test potential,etc.)

[JakeTheBoxer]

Andrade is tough mofo.

He always looks like he has not enough power to be there. He looked the same at 154. But on the other hand, only some elite guy will be able to take him out.

[deathofaclown]

He looked good in moments against a fighter he should look good against

he looked hurt and shaky at times against a fighter that he shouldn’t look like that against. that’s nothing against Williams. I think he’s a tough fighter that can punch a bit, but he’s a solid domestic level fighter, probably fringe world level or euro level on his best day .

I just see Andrade getting stopped as soon as he fights a real top fighter in the division.

Terrible fight. Excessive clinching was allowed. No warnings. I'm sure Williams would have won without the clinching.

Yeah, it's not hard to imagine.
But that's how it is. Referees have power to control the fight,
make the fight more entertaining by simply penalizing too much holding.
But they're useless.

Maybe about a six. I think guys like Derev or even G at this point stop him. I don't get the booboo hype. He looked pretty vulnerable through a lot of the fight, and if someone can just NOT walk into a ****ing uppercut every time they walk in they should be able to hurt him

[famicommander]

He's still never fought anybody good.

When Culcay, Sulecki, and Martinosyan are your best wins and you barely beat those guys, it's time to put up or shut up.

i love the punch tho....so many fighters dont use it when they could/should when its there....but andrade falls in love with it a bit much...

[Shadoww702]

Man I guess this should end the bs that Canelo is ducking Andrade

Oh it's a beautiful uppercut, but by the sixth round he just looks like that cat you'd play Street Fighter 2 with as a kid who would just spam the same ****ing move over and over

yeah..i just find that its an underutilized punch by so many fighters....there are so many times im watching a fight and i see the opening and guys wont throw it..maybe its because im seeing it from a different angle but i see so many guys passing opportunities with it.....andrade might do it too much....theres gotta be a happy medium somewhere

people stopped using it because you have to be perfect with an uppercut. Even being off by a small amount and it's the easiest punch to counter, and if you're lazy with it you can see it coming by a mile. I'll often mention when someone is "open to eat an uppercut" too, but it's also probably the most commonly telegraphed punches there is. Holyfield v Douglas just off the top of my head.

I remember when I was younger throwing a bolo punch in the gym, and coach coming right over and saying "never let me catch you throwing that **** ever again"
