Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade TKO Victory and results from undercard.

[Ringside by Pattee Mak – October 17, 2015] 2008 Olympian Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade of Providence, Rhode Island came ready to fight when he took on Dario Fabian Pucheta of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Just by looking at the two there is a considerable height difference. Andrade who’s 6’1 towered over Pucheta who is 5’6. Since the bout began Andrade was in complete control and dropped Pucheta with a straight left then for a second time a right. Both fighters started picking up the pace letting their hands go. During round 2 Andrade lands a left jab and followed it up with a right hook and that’s all I can write. Andrade wins by TKO at 50 seconds into round 2 and becomes the new WBA and WBO International super welterweight champ.

Andrade increases to 22-0 and Pucheta decreases to 20-4-0.
