    I can respect that take. To be honest, I'm not sure what to make of Andrade even this far into his career. I see some flaws but I also think his awkward style and physical talents can give good fighters headaches.

    I think Andrade's problem's are mostly self made. How many fights has he dropped and hurt an opponent early in a fight only to let them survive so he can cruise to a clear (and less than exciting) victory? He's good enough to be a threat but doesn't entertain and doesn't have a real following. Quite simply the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

    As for Montiel, he did put up an entertaining fight but he wasn't really supposed to. He was supposed to be the guy that was blasted out by Munguia.
    You get no argument from me. All I know is I really enjoyed that fight and really that’s all I care about. I didn’t know much about Montiel going in. I never saw the Munguia fight. I just remember from the build up show leading into the fight Montiel talked a lot about this being his first real training camp. They moved to Arizona and had an organized camp. I’m sure that helped his confidence but I think it was more about Jermalls lethargic approach more than anything. But hey that’s part of being a professional that’s why Jermall gets no pass.

      This is a Charlo thread. You seem to be avoiding the question. Make a GGG thread and I'll answer it in there.

        I agree, it was very entertaining. Montiel came to win and he showed some crazy resilience. Jermall definitely didn't seem himself, I wonder if Charlo is weight drained at 160 or if it's something else (taking opponent too lightly, other distractions, etc).

          But no fights yet with ggg or Alvarez
          Because they earn more and are choosing to fight other people.

            GGG won't be fighting anyone with the Canelo jackpot hanging around.

              Charlo broke his hand early in that fight. Look it up

                He deserves a pass
