    Comparing Andrade vs. Benavidez to Crawford vs. Spence

    Looking at this upcoming fight, it has a few things in common with Crawford Spence.
    -Both Andrade and Crawford frozen out of big fights their whole career.
    -Andrade and Crawford both in their 3rd weight class when they finally get the big fight.
    -Both Andrade and Crawford southpaws/switch hitters with dynamic styles.
    -Both fights undefeated vs undefeated.
    -Andrade and Crawford both 35 years old at the time of their big fight.
    -Both Andrade and Crawford cross the street to face off against PBC fighters, which are both 1 dimensional pressure fighters, that rely mainly on size.
    -Both Benavidez and Spence spent along time in one weight class, which ended up coming back around the hurt Spence, and finally may be an issue for Benavidez.

    Does anyone think this fight may end up playing out similar to crawford vs Spence, where the PBC pressure fighter ends up getting completely dominated by the more complete fighters, in what was supposed to be a 50/50 fight?

    Joke right? Crawford was in good fights before facing Spence. Andrade has never ever faced a living body.

    Benavidez should beat him down easily.

      Crawford was undisputed at 140, and lineal at 135 before the Spence fight, and had fought 9 world champions with a combined record of 259-17-4 by the time he fought Spence.

      Andrade has fought zero world champions, and won nothing but vacant titles against weak opposition. He wasn't frozen out of anything. He's ducked every big fight that's come across his path. Ducked Lara, Charlo, Zach Parker, Janibek, etc. Comparing him to Crawford is an insult to the P4P King.

        Don't be surprised if this sh#t looks like rigo vs donaire with Andrade being rigo.
