"tell me something else. tell me im the best." Demetrius Andrade last night on friday night fights?

im kind of excited about this kid. first of all hes a new england native so im rooting for him. hes a tall southpaw olympian working his way up the jr middlewieght ranks. 10 fights in and hes pretty much fought nothing but scrubs which teddy atlas is critical of. but whatever hes 22 and easing his way in.

last night in the 5th round of a 6th rounder he was supposed to have KOd his handpicked opponenet rounds ago and his opponnenet whos 8-8 and 36 years old is talking trash to him as Andrade trys to launch knockout attacks. when he goes to the corner his father, who is his manager and trainer starts being critical of him, even though its constructive criticism. Adrade doesnt flinch at the consructive crisicms. he remains neutral and just simply tells his father to "tell me something else. tell me im the best."

if he was upset it would be a litte more understandable i guess. you would think 'ok maybe hes just not headstrong and just doesnt have it'

but he remained for the most part emotionless except for a mildly confident look on his face.

what do you think of this?

    I didn't really like Demetrius Andrade's response and the fight on "Friday Night Fights" just showed me he's got some things that he needs to work on in the gym. Teddy Atlas says the same thing about all Olympians when they're coming up- always saying that they need to fight better competition but as you stated, Andrade only has 10 fights and you can't expect him to be facing top contenders in the early stages of his career- he'll fight the top contenders but only when he and his people feel he's ready; once he gets to 15-0, then we can start complaining about him not facing top opposition, but I'll give him a pass for fighting no-names at least for his next few fights, but after a while, he'll be forced to face top competition, at least if he wants to win a world title.

    Andrade got the most important thing done in that fight, which was to get a victory but I certainly wasn't overly impressed with his performance- as I stated before, I'll give him a pass because prior to that fight, he was defeating all of the fighters he faced in impressive style and stopped the majority of them but he had some trouble with his last opponent, which happens from time to time. If it keeps happening, then that will become a problem because if he struggles against guys with .500 records, then it will be a concern when he faces the top contenders. But for the time being, he gets a reprieve and hopefully he'll improve on his deficiencies in the gym and have better performances in the future- Andrade certainly still has the stuff to become a world champion but just like all prospects, he needs the proper time to develop

    This guy looks like a bust to me. I dont think he'll break the top 10 ranking any time soon.
