Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley On Benavidez vs. Andrade: "He Has Terrible Footwork, Andrade Can Expose That"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Tim Bradley never quite understood it. For as long as he could remember, Demetrius Andrade was an incredible fighter. He dominated everyone at 154 pounds and did much of the same at 160. He hasn't fought the best fighters around, but Bradley has always been impressed with his ability to do just about everything in the ring.

Intriguing fight, but does Andrade's superior 'footwork' mean running away for 36 minutes? Plant is pretty elusive as well, but that blueprint didnt work.

[ShoulderRoll]

Breadman Edwards thought the same when he cornered Plant. Look how that turned out.

Andrade will look good for a few rounds before Beneviedez gets to him. Gonna be on his bike all night long though. You do not win by running.

[Nightfall]

Just because one guy doesn't move well they take shots at the other fighter and call it running. That's some weak shyt from non athletic cowards

Oh man Andrade finally got a fight!!!.... All his fans can split a cab to the arena.

Andrade doesn't have the greatest footwork either, not for someone with his "style." I've seen him off balance and even fall however many times throughout his career.

Andrade has been avoided so now we will see what he can do. Could be a surprise coming.

Tim may have a head the size of a small hot air balloon, but he understands boxing much deeper than the average punk behind the keyboard, or boxing fan, in general. When everyone was saying Errol was gonna murder Bud, look what Timmy Balloons was saying all along. I also stated what Bud was going to do to Errol. I'm also in agreement with Timmy B right now. As good as Benavidez is, if he squares up with Andrade, I see big problems. I see Andrade's counter punching ability being a problem. So i see David's workrate dropping, because of precise counterpunching. I see David possibly hitting the canvas. I can't see a stoppage, but I see a boxing lesson from a master. Now David can box too, but he can't play that game with Andrade. David is absolutely the monster, and I'm one of his biggest fans, I just see stylistic issues with Boo Boo. But i been saying for years, Boo Boo is stylistically a problem for damned near anybody. Now the fact that David is fighting him, tells me David may intend to reach a level we haven't seen yet. Because like Hot Air said, I feel he has to fix his footwork and also other issues like reaching, what he does after he punches, hand placement, head hunting, feints, using his jab properly, punch selection. Everything has to be super tight, fine tuned, and on point. Boo Boo isn't the average cat. He's not going to fade or fold late, like Plant. This isn't just a test for David. He'll be in the fight of his life

Inactivity and age are Andrade's biggest weaknesses, not his footwork. 5 years back, I would favour him, but not now. He'll do well for the first half of the fight, then he will fold. Benevidez by TKO.
