People for the longest time bitched about how slow Andres career was progressing, but that can not be said any more. He may be slightly older than other greats when you compare them to when they took off, but with only 20 bouts under his belt he put on an impressive showing against a person many consider to be the man and that speaks volumes.
As a gold medalist it just further enhances the resume. The guy is looking like he is heading down the Sugar Ray Leonard path. Now, I am not saying that he can keep this up but it is starting to look like he is the real deal and his team did the right thing managing him. Andre can really benefit from this tourney and if he does go through it without a loss it can really make up for the slow start to his career. Not many all time greats could say they cleaned out their division under 28 bouts, especially a loaded division.
