I have seen this guy a few times and he is a great fighter. Do you all think he can beat the Kessler or Calzaghe, it would make a good fight(s). I think he could get through Lacy. He did beat Richard Grant by tko 1 round, Otis Grant as notable wins. His record is not padded since he has beaten guys with good records. There has never been a Mexican Champion at Lt Heavyweight
yeh i like the guy , hes really about the only guy i like at light heavy at the moment ,Quote:

Italian boxers are known for heart and fight at higher weight divisions. Gatti, Marciano, LaMotta, Malignaggi...Quote:

Seems to have power, one thing I like is he doesn't just look for the one big punch like some punchers do. Pretty active, not the slowest guy in the world and the right hands pretty straight. Looks fairly easy to hit, hopefully he has a good chin.
I don't think he'd beat Calzaghe or Kessler. Would like to see him versus Allan Green, Green would have to be very careful in that fight.
Don't they teach any of these up & comers defense?
Wide open to the right hand all night long.
Grant was stupid to stand & trade with the naturally larger man.
Tarver, Lacy, Jones, Calzaghe, or the likes would all cause him issues.
I'd like to see him thrown in with Johnson. Johnson is a good barometer for all the new guys.
I like Andrade I saw him fight at the Olympic Grand here in L.A. and have seen him on the telie a few times, At SMW he can fight and he does have a chance at becoming a Champ but I don't he will be able to fight at that level and win.
He just moved up to Light Heavy.... soooooo the picture might change a little there since theres more room to grow there Tarver, Wooods, Johnson, RJJ, GOnzalez are all aging...... 'Bad' Chad, Andrade, Diaconu, Erdei, Adamek are the future of the Division....
good point cc!! lol sorry fella's i forgot!! its just when they said latino i always think mexican starit away.. soz againQuote:

Yeah he's at 168 which is super middle weight and I would love to see a Kessler Andrade Or Joe vs Andrade he is an exciting fighter to watchQuote:
