Librado Andrade 1# WBC contender!

[ferocity]

I belive he is Kelssers mandatory. But somone did say his next fight will be against Mundine, but i would think his mandatory would be first but we'll see. This is the only fight i've seen of Andrade and i can already tell he can compete with the top fighters. My question is how do you think Kellsser will do against Andrade since he's his mandatory?

Kelsser would knock him out in 4, Kelsser is going to unfy the belts. Even beat Joe in my opinion..

You think he's that good?

I seen only a clip of Kelssers ko'. I don't think he gets past Calzaghe. And seeing how much resistance his opponet put, versus what Andrade would put, I'd give Andrade a good chance to defeat him. If anything Andrade would chin check Kelssers chin.

ive seen about 4 of his fights and i dont think he'll get stopped, especially not that early he has a hell of a chin. he would also test anyone else's chin cuz he can punch and is very aggressive, his style is rough around the edges though. i think boxing is the way to beat andrade and i think calzaghe could do it cuz andrade's not ready, he's just recently quit his other job hes not experienced enough.

forget the mandatories and the belts.

two guys rule the division: Kessler and Calzaghe.

Thats the fight everyone wants.

Agree with the above, but Andrade is a very good fighter and the way things are shaking out, Kess could have a Fighter of the Year 2007 if he can get Calzaghe and add wins over Andrade and Mundine again.

With experiance, a few more fights, do you think he'll have a good shot at defeating either of those guys?

What i liked about his fight with Grant -no easy opponet- is his power, and he has fast hands, and is very ackward, which looks like he'll give anybody hell.

I've heard these two have been tring to get together but it hasn't happened yet. Do you honestly belive it will happen? If so then they should fight each other in their next fight.

i hear andrade is one of those fighters whos so good nobody wants to fight him. is he that good?

[Shanus]

He didn't look that impressive against Grant, easily counterable, and he could get outboxed, but I can't judge him on one performance, he has alot of power.

You know - Kessler and Andrade sparred in LA early 2005. Reports from those sessions suggests that Kessler toyed with Andrade. I know one shouldn't put too much into sparring. And i know the reports might not be accurate. But i really don't expect Andrade to be a major concern for Kessler.
On the other hand every fight - especially one against a top-10 guy - carries a risk. So you never know.
