    To be honest, half the idiots who do punditry in the UK seem to think Eubank, Abraham etc. are necessarily 'Eubanks', 'Abrahams', and so on...

            I always hear Andrade being pronounced as An-drayd.
            It's a Spanish name so it's got 3 syllables An-drah-de.

            Jesus Cuellar
            Somehow those SHO commentators kept pronouncing it as something like Quasar.
            The double L in Hispanic names got an invisible Y in it.
            And thus Cuellar is pronounced as Quell-yar.
            Similarly, Castillo would be Cas-till-yo, not Cas-ti-lo.

                  Thats how I always said it & recall it being pronounced more or less.

                  E Bae A Boochie.
