Agreed, Boo Boo is a good fighter but it's like Andrade himself said, this is his 3rd weight class and only his 2nd fight at that weight. Most people think moving up in weight is easy to do or not a big deal but in actuality it's extremely difficult to accomplish.
For years him and his fans ****** on about how avoided he was despite him declining fights against Korobov, Charlo, Alimkhanuly, even Zach Parker most recently.
Instead he fought the likes of Katundowka, Keeler, Quigley, Akavov etc. There was the odd fringe top 10 guy like Vanes, Williams or Sulecki but even those guys were clearly levels below who he should have been fighting.
Yet we were told how skilled Andrade was, how he was so elusive, sharp, accurate, slippery, yet the moment he stepped up, we saw absolutely none of those attributes.
I thought he won one round, the second. Benavidez looked the sharper fighter, he found him easy to hit and he essentially just beat the sh** out of him for 6 rounds until Andrade quit on his stool.
This guy was never an elite fighter.
For years I saw videos and posts about the racist boxing fan boys claiming Andrade is part of the old murderer's row of avoided fighters. He's not a fraud but not a p4p level fighter and he was over matched. He was hyped up by a certain fan group.
No Olympian is a fraud, just that like in boxing you have levels.
anateur and pro has levels.
pro has levels. Booboos. Level is what he was dominating, he steps up he gets beat.
A lot of olympians have ****** balls as pros. its two different styles of the sport, we can see that andrande was vastly, vastly overhyped. He was far worse than Plant who isnt rated that highly
