| Demetrius Andrade and Jack Culcay full fight replay, result, recap – March 11, 2017 it gets three stars |
Andrade was hurt in the 12th round after getting hit with a left hand from Culcay. Andrade was almost out on his feet. Culcay didn’t realize how hurt Andrade was, and he failed to try and finish him off. It was a big mistake on Culcay’s part because Andrade looked like he was ready to be finished off if Culcay had unloaded on him with another big shot. Both fighters had flurried on each other in the 12th, and Culcay got the better of it.
It was not a good performance from the 6’1” Andrade, as he struggled with the speed and the in and out attacks from the quicker 5’7 ½” Culcay all throughout the fight.
His opponent, the Wba light-Mw champion Jack Culcay, has a boxing record of 22-1-0 (11 knockouts) and he entered as the No.13 in the same weight class.

Result:Demetrius Andrade defeated Jack Culcay (SD) by a 12 round split decision final judges’ scores were 116-112, 116-112 for Andrade and 115-114 for Culcay.
The results of the fight showed that Andrade was just a little bit better than Culcay, but not by much. It was a fight that could have been won by Culcay if he’d made some minor adjustments in his game. Culcays was a lot better when he was attacking Andrade with flurries on the inside. Andrade had no power in close, and he was very vulnerable.
If it had been Canelo inside the ring with Culcay instead of Andrade, he likely would have stopped the German based fighter within 6 rounds. The fact that Andrade couldn’t do the job on Culcay is really telling. It shows that Andrade has a lot of limitations to his game.
Andrade, does not look to be fighting at the same level as WBA Super World junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara. The Cuban fighter appears to be the better fighter. Andrade will need to raise his game if he wants to beat Lara in the future.
