Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade Outboxes, Stops Artur Akavov in Twelfth

[QueensburyRules]

Weird ass stoppage...was no need for it that late in the fight

--- No need for BooBee to fight another fringe contender.

Pillows for fists and pink cotton candy for ring generalship. Be a tasty morsel for Golovkin, Jacobs, or Canelo.

Demetrius Boo Boo Andrade is THE BEST FIGHTER from 154-168

Well, Lara beat him in the amateurs and discounting that weird stoppage I think Andrade has decent power but not top notch power like GGG, Jacobs or Canelo.

I can't debate his talent, and he is a champion for a reason but giving his level of opposition and how he's failed to stop this C level fighters like he should be doing it, saying he is the best within 154-168 proves how dellusional you are, first and last time I reply to you, good luck with you cheerleading.

Plus the guy is boring as hell to watch, I'd take Jacobs and Charlo anytime of the year over him and their style is 1000 times more appealing than Demetrius.

the BEST BOXERS of all time are NOT those who have "alot of power"go down the list of ATG fighters the VAST majority of those are not loaded with "power" the vast majority are boxers or boxer punchers. its boring to those who dont know about "changing levels" and "head slot shifting" and in round 10(or one of those rounds landing 88% of his jabs)NONE of these fighters want to see Andrade in the ring bc of his SKILLSET and his height & reach which he uses very very well. i like to watch SKILLFUL boxers more so than "punchers" bc theres nothing really involved in the "skill" side.
the way you look at boxers who are skillful as "boring" is the same way i look at "punchers" bc theyre so unskilled that it makes them boring to me. NO FIGHTER AT 154 OR 160 beats Andrade 68 will provide the best challenge but the only one i see even putting up a fight is david benavidez

LMAOOOO Andrade the best at 154-160??? this is a joke right????

ive been saying this since i came on boxing scene. when he was at 154 i was saying he was the best he just had to fight and get the fights NOBODY wanted to fight him.
canelo avoided him lara avoided him he got bad advice by rocnation to pull out of the charlo fight look at 154 now the charlo bros one lost nobody realistically thinkg mugiya, hurd can beat a 160 Andrade do they?
canelo is like 5'8 Andrade is 6'1 danny jacobs is the best test for Andrade at 160 bc they know each other but his skills aint on Adrades level charlo i never thought either charlo could beat Andrade and ggg too slow he cuts the ring off good but way to slow good jab but besides power and cutting the ring off andrade does everythang better than ggg go to 168 the only one i can see competing with andrade is benavidez. so no its not a joke

Yes I understand what you're saying...
But if you go back and watch the fight to the one minute break between round 11th and 12th the referee was just looking for an excuse to stop the fight by the words he was telling Akavov...
Then during the final round he was just looking for an opportunity to stop the fight.
That shet seems funny to me...
Like if the referee knew he only had one more round to stop the fight...
Like if he was getting paid to stop the fight....
Go back and see it and let me know what you think...

I found it strange that Mercante wanted to stop it after the 11th. The fight was one sided scoring wise but the punishment didn't seem that extreme. Safety is paramount but paranoia shouldn't be. Bad job by the ref!

Exactly what I'm thinking. It was weird the way the fight ended. There was no need to be stopped.
That ref needs to be banned from boxing.

--- IBRO Top 20 alltime p4p list is the most definitive list ever compiled.

And full up with highlight quality power punchers. The only feather duster boxers are Greb and Pep, the combined word count of their names exceeding your IQ.

What grade you in bro?

i will debate ANYONE of you on this subject power is not the end all be all.
Sugar Ray Robinson which most ppl consider the best p4p boxer ever was a BOXER PUNCHER he was known for having damn good power but he's MOST known for his SKILL & ABILITY. Henry Armstrong Boxer PUNCHER.
Muhammad Ali OUTBOXER
Sugar Ray Leonard BOXER PUNCHERwho was most known for skill but he had power
Roy Jones Jr BOXER PUNCHER with insane speed and power but wasnt just a "puncher" like a george foreman or deontay wilder
Bernard Hopkins Lennox Lewis Julio Cesar Chavez, Salvador Sanchez, Juan Manuel Marquez, James Toney, Evander Holyfield, Michael Spinks, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Tommy Hearns(even tho Hearns had probably had the biggest right hand p4p of all-time)but he was a boxer puncher esp with emmanuel steward who taught him the "flicker jab" which is about BOXING which developed him into more than just a puncher, Pernell Whitaker, George Benton, Charles Burley(black murderers row) i could literally go on & on and name DOZENS of names to back my case. stop with the iq nonsense that ****** ass "iq test" of german origin and has no real basis in intellectual fields of learning bc of its high cultural bia.
idk why you cats on this internet even speak of iq esp when most of you dont know the origins of the test and its actual function.
much less BOXING IQ.
Boxers NORMALLY beat "punchers" and boxer punchers are even more dangerous than that.
sit your goofy ass down somewhere and debate the topic

Hey Stomps what do you think of Canelo fighting Jacobs? Should be a good one. Canelo has the better chin! Late round K.O, although I believe that Jacobs will make it a tough night.
