Why did Mack quit against Andrade?

[Tam Seddon]

he just realised he could not win

thats not the spartan spirit!

[Wacko3205]

I'm a big fan of Andrade...but either Kess knocked something loose or he's forgotten what the fwock a defense is.

He keeps fighting like a fool he's gonna get blasted out.

His defense is great!! What are you talking about He blocks everything with his face and it leaves openings on his opponent so he can counter effectively

[Violent Demise]

Andrade did pretty good body work on Mack. And I think that contributed to Mack's downfall. I remember Mack coming up. He was a good prospect. He has good skills. But he has poor stamina. And that will always hold him back unless he fixes it.

[SEANIE]

To me he didnt look that much hurt, it was more like he didnt want to fight anymore or what?

He never quit, he was getting the crap beat out of him and everyone knew if the ref never stopped it he would get badly hurt.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Andrade was coming on strong had laid the groundwork by investing in the body early and let the opponent no he was going to be there roughing him up all night.Mack felt he was nearing the end, no more to give and rather than get hurt and Knocked Out he submitted. Not a very-Gatti thing to do but its universally believed that smart fighters last longer than warriors.

Mack could have won that fight if he stayed on the outside and used his legs. Andrade has poor technique and would be lucky to become a world champion.

Could be true. Then again,how many people have a defence as good as Macks at 168? How many can survive the power,size and agression and rock solid heart and chin of Andrade which more than makes up for his lack of technique and sloppiness? Not many. Only the elite. He's a good barometer for others out there like Froch etc.

He mentioned this after the fight. He said his defence improved in sparring but when he got into the ring for the match,he just lost it again. He said he's definitely going to be working on it.

Yusaf Mack only has 14 stoppages out of 23 wins and only 2 KO's yet he dropped Andrade who were them people saying Pavlik couldn't put Andrade down ??

There's no point in bringing things like this up. Pavlik has been dropped by guys not as big or powerful as Andrade.Zuniga. And who has Zuniga ever beaten or knocked out of substance? It can work both ways Pavlik would most likely beat Andrade,I'm just pointing out that your point can easily be reversed.

[Fenster]

Excellent fight. Although didn't do a great deal for the monster punching Kessler form

Difference is El Gamo Pavlik has beaten world class opponents and doesn't block punches with his face and as for Zuniga ?? he has 17 stoppages out of 20 wins and beat Autwun Echols and went distance with Daniel Santos plus Pavlik is only one to ever stop him not to shabby

I also asked who's he(Fulgencio_) stopped. And I didn't ask whether Pavlik has beaten world class fighters,I know more than enough about Pavlik. And Andrade went the distance with Kessler,your point? Like I said,Kelly would most likely win,but again,I reiterate,it easy to turn points around. You point out Mack dropped Andrade,I pointed out Kelly has been dropped by lesser fighters too.

Pavlik got dropped by a pretty good puncher 17 stoppages out of 20 wins is pretty good and at the time he fought Pavlik only 2 fighters went distance with Zuniga not including his loss to Santos and recently moved up to Supermiddleweight and dropped Victor Oganov for the first time in his career and also stopped him and Victor had 26 wins and 26 KO's thats alot better than being dropped by Yusaf Mack who only has 14 stoppages out of 23 wins.

All im saying is that Zuniga is a puncher Mack isn't.

Yeah but now you can see how easy it is to turn points around. Because this just goes full circle. In the other thread,you said something along the lines of Andrade has kos but who has he beaten. Ditto Zuniga.And Oganov fought nothing but bums.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Could have, but the fact is boxing intellect let him down, he got dragged into a fight that did not suit him stylistically and stopped him from winning. A truly great boxer prevents this from happening, fights his own fight and wins.

I was one of the people saying he couldn't.
It's a comment it's my opinion.
Who here thought JTaylor would drop Pavlik? JT hasn't dropped or stopped someone since 2005. Actually JT hadn't even came close to hurting an opponent since then. But he dropped anfd hurt Pavlik.

'The Surgeon' put JCC down for the 1st time in his career, who really thought he would drop & beat JCC for the 1st time?
'El Chapo' being P4P one of the hardest punchers couldn't do a thing to JCC it's just the way boxing goes sometimes. Sometimes things that make the most sense don't necessairaly happen.

It's was just my opinion, because Mack dropped Andrade it doesn't mean you were right and everyone else was wrong. I've noticed that when someone doesn't agree with you/your comment it makes them wrong. I will say that the fact that Mack dropped Andrade it says that Andrade was very careless and that Andrades defenses is worst then what I thought actually scratch that Andrade has no defense.
