    First quality opponent of his career and he gets destroyed and quits on his stool.
    He was fighting someone who is really 2 weight classes apart from him he did quite well considering the obvious size difference

      Completely agree. When Benavidez fights someone his own size, it will be a different story.

        No. No excuses.

        Andrade is 35 years old, an alleged two division world champion, and over 30 fights into his career. This was his second fight in the division.

        He lost this fight because he's trash.

        The reason he went his entire career up to this point without fighting a single other fighter who had won a legit world title (get out of here with your WBA interim/regular BS) is because he's trash.

        He ducked and talked his entire career and today was the day to put up or shut up. And he quit on his stool. He's a clown. Now, then, forever after.

          He put up today no two ways about it, Benavidez is clearly a light heavyweight who is weight bullying, there will come a time he's drained at super middle and get knocked out quite heavily if he's not smart enough to move up before that happens.

          Haven't ever really held Andrade in much regard throughout his career personally but on tonight he's gained a lot of respect, ended pretty much the way i expected seen it all before (Brook vs Golovkin a recent example) where the good smaller man shouldn't be there with the good much bigger man but they showed heart and grit to stay in.

            There is no such thing as a weight bully. Both guys took the fight under the same conditions and both guys made weight. This is nothing like the Kell Brook fight. Brook moved up two weights to fight GGG in his first fight in the division. Andrade won a belt at 154, then moved up and won a belt at 160, then moved up to 168 and won a fight, then challenged Benavidez. Both guys were super middleweights before this fight and both guys weighed in under 168. It was fair.

            Again, stop making excuses.
