Gun to my head I think I'd pick Andrade over anyone at 154 right now, but he needs to keep busy and get a big fight.
I agree. Was definitely higher on both. I thought Jermall was the better of the 2. However in his fight against trout, he looked a little flustered and bewildered at times. There would be no shame in that (as they're still learning and Trout can be a craft vet) except it looks like they dragged Trout out of bed 2 minutes before the fight. Really a big difference at the fight was the size at the weight. Some of these fighters now are looking huge at the weight. I understand boiling down is part of the sport but i don't recall a time where there were so many instances of non heavies weighing in the same and then there appearing to be such a big disparity in size in the ring. Canelo, Molina, The Charlos, donaire, etc...
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
