Demetrius Andrade seems stuck between styles. His left hand is horrible.

    Sorry. I meant to say he does not punch as hard or fast as Jermall.

      andrade fought once in 2014, once in 2015, once in 2016, once in 2018. you get the idea.

      he is a fighter without an identity in a lot of ways. no real style to speak of, no signature wins or moments, no fans, no consistent presence in the media. he's just sort of lost.

      i expect in time that he will get a few fights for big money. canelo, golovkin, you only need to fight these guys once or twice to be entirely set for the rest of your life. the rest of your career is just icing on the cake. you retire a wealthy guy as long as you're not a spendthrift. that's what they're here to do.

        I was not impressed by Andrade's performance but he did what he was supposed to do by winning every round. He beat the guy better than Jacobs did. Then he called out Canelo loud and clear for the 100th time. Canelo made a big deal of GGG having to beat Andrade before he would fight GGG but GGG did not fight him. So is Canelo going to answer Andrade's challenge and fight him like he told GGG to do? Canelo said he was on a mission to be the undisputed middleweight champion. Was that just a lie and an excuse not to fight GGG? Canelo is just one fight away from being the undisputed middleweight champion and that fight is with Andrade. Will he fight Andrade for that missing WBO middleweight belt or is Canelo just a BS talker? He should practice what he preached to GGG. Clean out his own weight class first before going to 168 or 175 complete with catchweights and morning weigh ins. If Canelo no longer wishes to fight at 160 he should make that clear and vacate 160.

          I thought he really could have done some damage, like he intended to, if he just mixed up his left hand. The hooks were good early, but obviously quickly became predictable, why not throw more straights? Andrade is not a very intelligent fighter.
          He isnt very bright. You listen to him talk, you will see shades of Chad Dawson and Victor Ortiz.
