This weekends action at 154lbs

Post by davie »

Demetrius Andrade travelling to Germany to fight Culcay and the weaker Charlo brother defending against someone I've never heard of

Russell jr on the same card as Charlo too.

Are these on the box in the UK? I'd like to see that Andrade fight particularly, he's good to watch and it's not often you hear of and American going to Germany

He's a talented and exciting fighter but a bit showy and takes risks.

I'm not sure how tough he is but he's going to have to be solid if he's to keep that up against the top names.

Agreed though, probably sees off Culcay.

See Andrade being far too good for Culcay.

Culcay is a solid pressure fighter but he's European level and he's tough but Andrade should make him look amateurish and round after round of crisp, accurate punching I fancy him to get Culcay out of there, I thought Andrade looked about as good as i'd seen him last fight against Nelson, lets hope he can get some momentum going and make up for lost time

Jermall is the puncher, Jermell not so much.

Just think grade A puncher / grade E puncher. Or something like that...

Andrade/Culcay was dreadful and the scoring was diabolical I cant see how anyone would give Culcay 3 rounds let alone winning, I had Andrade winning 119-110 but he was pretty poor by his own standards, he struggled with his timing, couldn't really land clean and was throwing some strange looking punches, looking downwards whilst throwing wild shots, even though my card was wide I expected him to deal with Culcay a lot easier

I will give Culcay credit though, he tucks up well and done a good job of blocking Andrade's work, I thought the commentators were a bit generous although not as generous as that judge, Culcay had wee bits of success with little bursts but was always 2nd best even when Andrade was crap himself, it did look as if he hurt Andrade with a right hand in the last round though

Andrade's performance reminded me of when a young novice struggles with a journeyman early in their career, wins wide but looked poo

I thought Culcay looked ordinary but he was very tight and compact and hard to hit.
There were rounds in the middle of the fight where Andrade hit nothing but gloves, wasted shots and look bereft of ideas. In those rounds Culcay perhaps didn't do much but I thought his limited output was enough to nick a few rounds. I had it to Andrade by a couple rounds with a few 10 -10 rounds in there.

As you say Andrade looked the better fighter having an off night, he also looked the physically much bigger man at the weight.
He tired, he lack sting in his shots and he looked at times like he could figure out what to do about fighting a man with a high guard. He lacked a bit of imagination in there and needed to use his movement and a few tricks to draw Culcay out, but just couldn't get there.

Some fighters don't respond well to that subdued German atmosphere

117-111 Andrade for me.

Andrade was poor and Culcay boxed as well as I've seen him.

The conclusion for me is Andrade is up there with Lara as 154 finest. He needs a career defining fight.
Culcay is European level who is lucky to have the fantastic Sauerland behind him.

First time I've seen Andrade switch. I really liked him orthodox.
