Andrade (32-0, 19 KO) put up a very well-known performance, starting quickly (including a questionable second-round knockdown) and settling into the groove, especially in the second half of the fight, although he did some cruising. , he scored another. Knocked down in 10 rounds.<\/p>\n
In short, despite winning world titles at 154 and 160, the 34-year-old was not yet the ‘different’ kind of Andrade looking for what could be called his first ‘big’ fight. We haven’t yet seen the kind of fight he wants next, but as always, it was one-sided.<\/p>\n
Nicholson (26-5-1, 22 KOs) was also his normal self, tough and resilient, but ultimately pretty good against higher level opponents.<\/p>\n
Andrade acknowledged the weight difference was noticeable in the fight and once again said he wanted to fight at his “best”.<\/p>\n
