Andrade Cruises to Wide Decision Win over Replacement Opponent Kautondokwa
Walter Kautondokwa was never close to beating Demetrius Andrade Saturday night in Boston. Stepping in as a replacement opponent after Billy Joe Saunders tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, Kautondokwa was simply outclassed by a superior opponent, getting dropped four times before ultimately losing a unanimous 120-104, 120-104, 119-105 decision.
While Kautondokwa deserves credit for stepping in on short notice, having built his resume on unknown African fighters he was never going to beat Andrade. He was dropped in the first, third and fourth rounds before Andrade’s pace slowed (an issue Andrade says was due to reinjuring his shoulder in the fifth round).
