Culcay seemed to hurt Andrade towards the end of the round there as they traded. Lets wait for the decision. Culcay proved he belongs at this level. Andrade should win.

:o Wow amazing finish don't know who won that rnd...
I'm thinking something around 116-112 Andrade.
Andrade wins split decision
Split decision for Andrade...
Andrade split. 116-112 x2, 114-115.
It should not have been that close
I thought it was competitive and although Andrade was probably winning the rounds many were close and neither fighter was dominating. Plus Culcay was the champ and fighting in Germany.Quote:

Stick that fight in a neutral venue it's probably 10-2 to Andrade, however, with all the away fighter factors against him I could see a 6-6 fight.
Without scoring rd-by-rd I had Andrade as a comfortable-ish winner - I felt 8-4 too - giving Culcay the benefit of doubt on the inside. Really though, Andrade held his own on the inside, had the far greater arsenal and controlled it easy from the outside.
Andrade is a really talented fighter although he got caught with loads of right hands and looked a bit jelly at times. "Lucky" for him Culcay can't crack an egg.
