    DANGEROUS! Regardless if it is at 147 or 154 he is VERY DANGEROUS with his Power to go along with his Boxing Skills plus his size, also showed a damn good chin against a hard hitting La Joya Chaves

    Has the potential to be a outstanding all around fighter.

    Unfortunately at 147 I don't think he will get the action he wants or the big fights he wants because of his size which will be used as an excuse not to fight him, the same **** that happened to Paul Williams

    I Would LOVE to see Demetrius Andrade vs Keith Thurman, I know Andrade beat him in Amateurs so that is probably motivation for Thurman to avenge that loss.

      I'm not sure Thurman would be all that great at 154, his boxing skills are pretty good, but it's really his power which sets him apart at 147. Genuine JMWs probably take his shots better.

        he will beat soto karass, dude is just tailor made for him. but once he fights someone who can box and still has it he will be taken to school. if he fights someone who can punch its a good chance he gets chinned himself although he has shown a good chin, thats one of the very few things that truly impressed me about him.

        still not impressed with him overall though.
        A man who has 19 ko's in 21 fights has overrated power?

          I'm not convinced by him as being anything special, defensively he seems very loose but likely a fighter who could make a decent numbers of defences and maybe win back belts during his career but not a fighter at the very top of the sport. World class but not elite.

          Karass is a live underdog against him.
