He looked like ****.

Culcay was tiny and very average, yet it was a very competitive fight. Andrade looked slow, he was just swinging wildly at times and he got hit a lot. He was effectvie with the jab, but didn't use it enough.

He will get taken apart by Lara, no wonder he called that fight a 'last resort'.

Split decision is a disgrace...Andrade maybe lost 2 rounds...3 at the most and the ones he lost could have been his...

it can happen when a guy short and darting under you clashing heads so forth...

if u knew culcay before hand u knew this was not going to be a pretty fight...jeff horn type of style at times just not as strong as just..culcay has good hand speed and knows how to fight in germany to get a robbery...andrade hurt him a lot, but culcay wasnt giving a big canvas

Just finished watching the fight and it was a good entertaining fight.

Just tellin you that Culkay has a good chin and lots of heart, i thonestly think he was a more tough fight for Andrade than Martirosyan and Nelson.

Having said that Demetrius will become Lara's mandatory in the future so I'm all up for that.

The way Andrade talks, you can't be having competitive fights with c level fighters...especially not one's that look half your size.

Inactivity will have played a part, but he was reaching with a lot of shots, he was swinging wild and he was getting hit with leads in every round; if he fights like that against a guy like Lara, he's going to get embarrassed.

Andrade in with a very tough but limited guy. Demetrius engaged too much in the final half of the fight. I think it was a mental issue. The fight was closer than what he thought it would be so he was caught in 2 minds -

1 .. engage and dominate so as not to give the judges a chance to award rounds to Culcay for aggression OR
2 .. stay on the outside and jab and 1-2 but fight of the back foot.

He chose 1/ and it just about worked out for him as sure enough there was a warped card in the mix.

Andrade picked Culcay apart outclassed him this should have been a UD for Andrade Culcay won 3 rounds at best

You're being harsh on Culcay. He's very cagey and could make a lot of fighters look bad. Andrade still beat him on the outside, on the inside, southpaw and orthodox
