Demetrius Andrade vs. Liam Williams - 17 April 2021

[bigjack]

I wouldn't be surprised if Williams puts him down/wobbles him a couple of times but it won't to enough to get the decision

[margaret thatcher]

williams has indeed look beastly ---but it's all been against guys he has had no trouble hitting and hence it just became a power showcase, which can be one of the most flattering things. all 1 way traffic, never really given a fight, and never been in with someone that would make you think that if he can land on them, that he'll be hitting andrade frequently.

but how does he cope if he struggles to lay a clean glove on a quick trickster like andrade and it becomes a boxing match? we know williams can hit hard and do damage when he's landing, but i'd expect him to find that a lot more difficult this time out and he's facing someone who will surely be hitting him and frustrating him a lot more than his past opponents did

i do tend to agree with the view that williams might have some moments, maybe even a kd or rocking of andrade, but that overall andrade will outbox him and take a clear decision

I agree with this. Andrade does sometimes fail in after throwing and Williams best chance is to try and catch him then.

Cheers

Andrade on points for me.

I have to say Williams appears bang up for this in the build up and is sowing seeds of doubt. It's not like Andrade has beaten a who's who of the middleweight division, but looks to awkward to solve for a fighter of Williams' calibre.

The last two Pods on Costello & Bunce (who are doing live BBC 5 live extra radio coverage) have been good to get us in the mood...and Andrade and Buncey got into it, which got a little prickly

Buncey held his ground to be fair, but it's fight week and boxers are often on edge.

William's on the other hand seemed a lot calmer.
