- I had my first real boxing fight against @MichelleKhare last Saturday and it was insane... Michelle is one of the toughest youtubers in the world and I couldn't have chosen a more perfect opponent to test myself. This video is my reaction to watching the fight footage for the first time. Drop a like and let me know in the comments if I should continue doing influencer boxing!

funny part is peoples are watching this shit
PIN OF SHAAAAAME !!!!!!
Pin of shame but only 1 reply?
Pin of absolutele shame
All of those simps calling this the pin of shame while he is only speaking fax holy
Funny thing is she would make you bleed
Truly grateful for the opportunity we had to motivate each other these past few months, and I am really proud of us. You were an absolute monster in the ring and I am SO HAPPY we never have to punch each other in the face ever again. Can’t wait to see your video about your full journey. 💜
HI MICHELLE
You scared her inner soul now she thinks twice before facing you ...XD
And you fricking brought Gotham chess... Thats so brutal 😂😂lol ..
💪
Bringing out Andrea's crush to your team was the icing on the cake. She felt so betrayed.
I'm glad yall were able to do this. i remember in michelle's video she talked about how difficult it was for her to find an opponent. props to you for stepping up to the plate even knowing how strong she is. amazing work both of you :)
actually Michelle had less weight and she is shorter sooo... 😅😅
@@studentt5352 doesn't matter she still won
bit off more than she could chew...skill level was miles away
@@studentt5352she also had 6x the training time
All the people in the comment section who keep saying that Michelle trained for a year, she didn’t. She trained for four months than stopped all together because she couldn’t find an a opponent and resumed to train only after she found an opponent. Andrea fought just five months before the fight. They trained basically the same
YES!!!! I feel like Andrea is belittling Michelle’s work. Also Andrea has more experience than Michelle and is taller and heavier!!!
Yeah this was literally Michelle’s first fight
Yeah I think she said 12 weeks but like she said in the speech they took the match in such low notice both them did
@@gnomeytroll1936 she said michelle was so fucking good she never belittled her, standing up for yourself is normal in this situation
THANK YOU I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
You keep expressing how impressed you were of @MichelleKhare, but you did an excellent job yourself! The mutual respect you both have for each other is the "take away" I hope everyone receives. Bravo to you both!
Her left was decent, her pathetically slow right hand I don't think connected on a single shot all fight.
@@ckobo84 I think she did land one. Round 3, I think?
You took a million punches to the face and didn’t even flinch. HUGE RESPECT.
That’s called doesn’t know how to block Dummy
@Ronald Simanjuntak also weak ass punches
and this is the prettier sister Botez what is her name ?

Takes a lot of discipline to do what you did. Props
Ok bro
@@TAMGaming1223 he just praising
@@TAMGaming1223 anyone who goes into the ring deserves respect. Clowns on the internet saying "ok bro" to that would never dare to get into that position lol.
@@sonnyskold5634 didnt even talk abt that talked abt him prob being a 40 yr old male lonely simp but sure bet you are another 1
@@sonnyskold5634 that " ok bro " was him projecting his simpology
I watched Michelle's video and loved it and I'm SO glad you posted this-it was really cool to see your POV esp. as she emphasized the difficulty and importance of finding an opponent
The score was 49-46, in normal terms: loser gets 9 points for a round winner gets 10 points for a round; So in other words Michelle won 4 out of 5 rounds.
Never bothered to look up how the scores work thank you it makes much more sense.
I think Andreas timing was great, kind of gifted in the sport. she Can definitely whoop a lot of females out there.
Thank you sir
I don't think people realise the guts it takes to get in the ring in front of hundreds of people and put aside your ego and fight someone like this. Andrea, you are fearless girl, and you should be so proud how you carry yourself. You have the emotional intelligence to understand that this is all about challenging yourself and not about "winning" to prove anything to anyone but yourself.
I am honestly so happy to see people like you being a success on CZcams because you are the type of person I want my children to follow and learn from.
They do realize it. That is why these critics will never enter the ring, actually or metaphorically.
No it doesn't. I do it every single month
I mean I would do the same if I was being paid
I'm people and I realize it...
She isn’t going to bang you
As a huge boxing fan I can honestly say that Andrea has some real talent! The head movement in the first couple of rounds was great and her jabs were destructive. She has some real power on her and let's not forget that iron jaw. She was taking some serious blows at the end there and she still kept marching in. Props to her for the heart she showed against a clearly more experienced fighter. If she would've fought anyone else that night I have no doubt she would've won.
Did she break her nose in the 4th rd?
Stop the 🧢 them punches was weak 😂she got gassed out quick
Andrea is 21, man. I too had an iron jaw until I turned 35. Time happens!
@@lionsg8426 no way? You’re telling me the 126 pound girl that has about 5 months of boxing training didn’t live up to your heavyweight expectations? What were you expecting, Serrano? Say what you want but she ended up breaking ol’ girls nose. Clearly she’s strong enough to cause some damage. No need to hate.
@@jonnyboy4999 she just got lucky, she cant even hit her shots properly.
Honestly, only 2 months of training? You did incredibly!!! Don't pull yourself down, you achieved a damn lot in that little time. Prepare longer next time and you'll not only break noses but faces. So proud to see a woman go hard and get into the ring. That's a hell of an achievement by itself ❤🎉
simp
For real. The other girl trained a full year and couldnt dominate. Botez for sure did great.
@@DE-lt9kfno she didn’t mate.. she trained previously for a fight for 12 weeks and then it didn’t happen, so training stopped.. so idk what you fans are smoking but it ain’t from earth
@@DE-lt9kftrained full year?? 🤣🤣🤣come onn mate
She didn't, firstly Michelle didn't train a year, second Andrea already had a bixing match before and knew what to expect unlike Michelle and third the broken nose was an accident and not the intention of Andrea. You have no clue simp
Michelle trained for 12 weeks, had a 6-month break from boxing, and once the fight was set up she had another 8-week training camp. That ain't a year. Still, as someone who is an amateur boxer with over a decade of experience, I have probably never seen someone be this crisp and technically sound after such a short time. Michelle's overall athleticism definitely helped her out a lot, and, damn, her mind games were on point. There ain't many people who can hold a stare down like that.
Michelle was awful in all honesty. Completely underwhelming and certainly not any example of a "professional"
Yes she definitely could very easily stare a starving dog 🐕👀 out of a butchers shop
I'm mad at both of em for looking as decent as they did. And not being scared to get in there. I have 5 yrs experience and a few amateur fights. I know I didn't look that good after year one. They look better than the Paul brothers first few matches, although Jake looks pretty solid now.
Also, I noticed Andrea gave a few blows to Michelle's back of the head during the clinches. Not sure if she was aware but that is very dangerous and banned in boxing for a reason. Nonetheless both were very impressive and much more technical compared to the male boxers at the event to be honest
I agree and also can't forget how good Andrea was in respect to the training; I think her fight IG and intuition was very high cause she had the feeling, reaction, and decisions down. Not to mention her legs look very developed as if she does hypertrophy training and seems athletic. That only levels Michelle up even more
You did great! Heart of a lion. You should be proud of yourself!
Bull crap she can’t box. She kept bending down.
@@nazdabner2685 I know it's hard to accept the amazing botez wasn't muhammad ali out there, but she actually did incredibly well for a chess player who only trained for a few months.. like so well that she could easily take up boxing and go places with it.
I feel nothing but respect and admiration. It takes some serious guts to jump in a ring and fight someone in front of so many people. Andrea took on a challenge that most people would have run away from, showed up and delivered. To top it off, she has the best attitude towards her opponent and about losing, showing true sportsmanship and healthy competition (aside from the physical aspect of two people beating the crap out of each other, of course). Hats off!
jesus who are these people
@@rocketlauncher754 one plays chess and the other use to be a bike rider or something..
@@rocketlauncher754 Please don’t use God’s name in vain ❤
I have been following Michelle for years but because of this fight I have discovered your channel and am now following you. You both did well and handled yourselves like true professionals
Same. Andrea and Alex are funny as hell.
Andrea, super impressed! The athleticism and conditioning was exceptional. A lot of the training falls out during the match and that is actually normal in ALL fighting. You can tell that you trained extremely hard because you fought a full 5 rounds. People are not aware of how a full round feels, let alone 5! Amazing!
Honestly, well done.
props to Michelle for that wholesome speech at the end, shows modesty and respect in contrast to how ferocious she was in the ring and concentrated.
And props to you for taking this challenge as an underdog and inspiring people to try out things out of their comfort zone .
Isn't it props?
Peobably xD I ain't no native speaker brother! Hahha
I also meant to write "ferocious" insread of "furious" hehehe
Yeah, "feroucious" nails it. She really hd "The Eye of the Tiger".
Yeah that speech...! 👌💪
Yeah but it's easy to make a nice speech when you win. Michelle was a bit sly before hand keeping her fight experience secret. Then in the fight she was trying to take Andrea's head off and staring her out really aggressively. If Andre had the broken nose or worse - it might not have looked so good for Michelle after the fight.
you held the centre of the ring, and you never stopped fighting. it was a close fight because you stood your ground and done damage. You didn't show any fear I'm proud of you Wee Yin, sending love to you and Michele from Scotland.
Michelle trained for 12 weeks, but when she finished training, it took a year to get into the ring
Exactly!!
So she didn’t train at all for that year? 🤨
@@poluticon she is a very active individual, so she definitely keeps up her stamina and strength in her daily life, but in her video, she wasn't training all that year as a full-time boxer since she prepped for 12 weeks full-time but it got delayed, she went on with her work/life not knowing when a match will come... this is my understanding from what she said- she's a beast!
I discovered your channel through your fight with Michelle and I have to say, I don't think you give yourself anywhere enough credit. Going into the ring with only 2 months training and going to toe to toe with a beast of a boxer was truly an incredible feat. You performed well, landed some great shots and kept up with the pace. You really did great :)
I discovered the Botez Sisters through Michelle Khare's chess episode of "Challenge Accepted" and I couldn't be more excited when I seen this fight.Both women such good sports, and I love the both of them! They both did great, I love you Andrea! You're personality always has me laughing. I love that you made this video, I really enjoyed it.
You did fantastic for your level of training!
I had no idea that this bout would be without headgear.
As someone who used to box i am astonished at how good you look. You look like you have trained for years. People don't understand that keeping proper boxing form throughout a fight takes lots of training. You are not flailing, you are not leaning back or standing up, you keep your hands up. I am really really impressed. I can't think of anyone who looked like you after only 2 months. You are a tiger.
Underrated comment
Bro, i am afraid to tell you that her defence and footwork exactly look like shes training for a couple months. She crosses feet frequently and when ever she throws a jab she opens defence. Huge weaknesses, that someone who can box easily can take advantage of.
Especially since she started as a chessplayer. Most chessplayer I know hate any sport that wouldn't allow you to sit during the fight.
@@GHBeats-eu4xe Be fair please. Andrea started from scratch. That is different from some instinctive streetfighting tomboy who only has to learn to refine the punches.
Well. I couldn't disagree with Kevins comment any less. She never kept her right hand up in a guarded position, thats why she was open to the jab the whole fight. Her foot work was much to be desired. I boxed for years as well. We would work timed rounds doing nothing but footwork. One of the first things you learn also is to keep your guard up. Those are basic things. She looked exactly like someone who had worked two months for a celebrity fight, far from someone who had trained for years. I think Kevin was more looking to give complements other than factual breakdowns. Which I totally understand as well. Andrea could make cleaning dirty ashtrays look great.
You did an amazing job for such little training, good fundamentals, you looked like a boxer out there which is more than can be said for some other creators. Yeah, there's room for improvement but that's to be expected for a beginner, things like head hunting and not changing level are so common for new fighters. Great job overall from both of you.
I'd love to see a rematch in 8 to 12 months. Well done to both!
It looked like a close fight and you got some shots in so I think you're being hard on yourself. The fact that you fought in the ring with so many people is really amazing and I think you looked really good for the small amount of time you trained. It's always easy to criticize but not many actually do what you did so be kind to yourself, you did great.
close fight?she got destroyed lmao
Close?? Really?? Lmao
49-46 means the judges thought she only won a single round.
It sounds close but really isn’t
Close fight?!? Where??? Michelle put that girl in a body bag! The fight was not close at all lmaooo Andrea was saved by the bell
You should be so proud of yourself Andrea! Anybody who has been in a fight can see how much of a fighter you are. Massive props to you and to Michelle. Just wow!
Only 2 months of training!?!? You did incredible!!!! The mental toughness it takes to get in the ring is huge. Major props to you, we’re so proud of your performance.
I watch all your chess videos.. but this amazed me.. you did so good. Your skill level is better than any guys I see that spent months training.
You did an incredible job considering you trained for just a few months! This fight was really exciting to watch influencers or not. Major props to you for stepping up and taking the challenge. A close score too!!
Seeing Levy out of nowhere in the crowd had me cracking up, idk why🤣
Gotham'd
To do that in your first proper fight with only a couple of months training is AMAZING. Everyone is so proud of you 🎉
The best part about the whole thing is the mutual respect you both had/have for one another.
This looks like one of those nightmares where you’re punching someone but there’s no strength behind it, like you’re punching in slow motion with pillow hands.
Round 5 really shows the advantage of being an athlete. Round 4 both of you were gassed, but Michelle is great at recovering and getting back into a circuit. If you keep at it, you’ll do great next time! Round 4 was your moment 💪 ✨
Andrea, you have been fantastic! You took a very tough challenge and you went through it like a damn champ! You have earned my utmost respect, young lady.
Amazing story, and passionate resolution! One for the history books! Congrats to both of you for the courage and good vibes! Best wishes!💚
Yall are both super athletic and put on a highly entertaining fight. I promise this fight was MUCH better than some professional matches. Impressive performance, seriously.
So impressed with Andrea's courage and commitment to becoming the best fighter she could in such a short time. She's got the heart of a fighter and the dedication to succeed at anything she chooses! Her parents should be proud of her!
You definitely held your ground. IMO, it was the most technical fight of the night as I watched on PPV. Yours and Dad Bot were the bouts I tuned in for. Good job!
Michelle just released her full. I tried professional boxing video. Absolutely amazing. Cried a couple times. You guys both did absolutely amazing in the fight. Props to you both 👏👏👏
Michelle’s winning speech is so wholesome and powerful! And it’s so impressive for Andrea put up such a fight as an underdog!
From comments I read before the fight, I assumed Michelle was the underdog.
@@taoist32 Michelle was definitely the underdog, smaller and lighter, and this was her very first fight while Andrea had done a fight prior
Omg you’re sooo much better then your first fight.
Your foot work and movement look so much better. You actually have formed a lot of the muscle memory you need
Looking forward to your next fight
You definitely have skills. You should absolutely keep going with training and do more fights. Well done to you both!
Soy Boy.
Andrea and Michelle you both are pure inspiration for normal people like us ❤ who haven't crossed their boundary line of comfort zone.
I've never seen Michelle with that look on her face 😂 you can tell she was in the zone like, she made up her mind to do damage that day. Props to andrea for putting up a hell of a fight on short notice.
You’re very humble, you gained so much respect from the fighting community with that performance, taking shots and still fighting, not backing down, still going forward. Huge respect and keep training it looks like you have it in you to go forward and have some fun fights. 👊🏼
So much respect for both of you! Esp the sportsmanship you both showed. You lost but I was so proud of you. You took it gracefully but you BOTH did so well.
Here from Michelle’s channel, Michelle is a epic bad ass! And good job facing her and being humble about it 💪 good spirits!
I was impressed in general by this fight, having not followed either players journey. My takeaway is actually that If Andrea was LESS aggressive, she might have done better with NO extra training simply by counterpunching only, and picking her shots more. Sometimes LESS is better. The fact that she broke her nose means this could have been a kickass strat and Andrea would not have been as tired, hitting harder and with more accuracy could have turned the tide.
You're progressing so well, don't shut the door on possibility of doing more. Keep up the boxing training for fitness and your own self confidence if you have to fight someone. Then if the opportunity arises again, you won't have to rush the training
you're a gamer. your analysis of the fight is solid and respect for being able to react to it with commentary. the nerves are definitely real like you said, for anyone who's competed in combat sports. You have a really solid base so if you continue to train and box you'll get a lot better to the level you want to.
technically speaking, a lot of it came down to distance and range management, not necessarily putting combos together. like when you were stepping in with your jabs, she'd slip to the outside while closing the distance with her own jab. knowing this, you can mix up your jabs like a feint without stepping in, anticipating her trying to time your jab to come in, and then crack her as she tries to come in. Like you said, being the longer fighter. She has to bring the fight to you, and I'm sure her constant movement definitely threw you off and forced you to try to keep up with her movement, but if your gameplan and goal is centered around fighting at range where you can hit her and she can't hit you, it becomes more clear how you can manage the distance
I came over from Michelle's channel. It's great to hear both sides. Great work, great contact.
Nobody knows how tiring boxing is until they actually do it. It's plain to see how much work Andrea put into this.
Your sportmanship is amazing Andrea and I’m really motivated with how far you’ve gotten. I wish to see you beat another sports goals.
Can’t wait to watch from your perspective! Just watched Michelle’s video and I was so inspired! You guys did amazing
great discussion of the reality of pressure (adrenalin) and fatigue (very real, most people have no idea how long a minute is). Appreciate you calling out the technique and training differential here. but the reach on the Botez, though. The reach! Also, pretty strong toe to toe. You were definitely not a push over. Taking some jabs and striking back. good, good
Massive respect for both of you! Stepping into a ring isn't easy, you looked great and you are showing great sportsmanship, congratulations on a great fight.
Andrea, a lot of respect for both you and Michelle. As a boxing fan, that was a great bout, and your commentary is brilliant. You've both done something that not many people have the heart for.
I saw this, and was very impressed at how well they fought with very little training. Very inspirational! 👍🏾
Super kudos to you both honestly! Alot of people said your fight was one of the best fights (I think its the best) and the most technical. You both looked great! (don't be so hard on yourself - the fight ended up being so close so that speaks to how well you fight!).
Another huge boxing fan just here to comment that you have HUGE potential Andrea. Your fitness, commitment to the jab, use of your footwork, keeping your hands up best you could - you've learned a tremendous amount and all better in so many categories from your first fight. Keep training at this and you'll be a legit great boxer some day. You're so early into it - keep going! Even as is, you were ALREADY WELL BEYOND every boxer than night in technique and movement EXCEPT for Michelle!
Great recap, I love how humble and appreciative you are for the chance to do something like this.
Awesome fight Andrea! I saw Michelle video about this yesterday. You both did amazing and you really held your own for having two months of training! Both of you are awesome and glad you were able to get this lined up. Keep up the awesome work!
It wasn’t about experience because you had more fights / experience. This was her first time boxing and she actually had only 6 months not a full year lol. Also there was absolutely no mind games just determination so lets be fr , Sorry sis but you got your butt handed to you fair and square. Especially because she was a lighter and smaller opponent.
YES. I feel like this whole video was Andrea hating on Michelle. This was Michelle’s first fight. She was also shorter and lighter. Andrea acts like she’s this little innocent lamb that was attacked by a monster. Relax girl.
You’ve gotta be a whole weirdo if you watched this video and your takeaway was Andrea hating on Michelle. All she did was give props to her for being the superior fighter the entire video. And yes, a big part of that was Michelle having being better trained… something Michelle probably takes a ton of pride in.
Michelle beat a bigger girl BECAUSE she put in so much hard work with a very good trainer.
in michelle's video she says many times how the mind games were huge and she definitely used them to her advantage. But yeah i'm sure michelle wasnt training nonstop the whole year when she couldnt get an opponent- but she probably didnt do nothing either so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
also MK is 9y older and had an injured foot
You guys have a weird perspective. At no time was she belittling anybody. Take that from someone who doesn't know either of them and is seeing this with no context. You guys are clearly showing bias. There is nothing but respect for each other in this video.
Congratulations gremlin, you've accomplished something very impressive here! What you've done is very hard, and very intimidating. Thus you were courageous, committed, and inspiring. I actually find it unfortunate, and understandable you won't be further pursuing your potential here. fr fr kudos to you.
Michelle clearly had waaaaay more training. Perhaps more than anyone at Creator Clash, she looked like she had the most refined technique. Considering that, you did an incredible job going up against her. 👏🏻
I'm glad you're not fighting again. The memories are fun, the possible long term brain damage... not so much.
Michelle also is just overall in the best shape of just about anyone. A lot more power and muscle packed into that frame compared to Andrea.
@@angelorobledo1536 Andrea also had to cut down, that's not easy for a lot of people
@@rundown132 Michelle’s actually been in a better shape for a while too. Though Andrea was still a beast, Michelle’s been training for a while so it’s no surprise she won.
Maaan Andrea you did really good against Michelle for 2 months of training.
I would've just bailed if I knew my opponent had 6 times the length of training and conditioning on me.
But for that Andrea already had a fight prior which she also trained for. It was Michelle's first ever time in a ring. For that specific fight Michelle might had more training but Andrea had more experience and knew better what to expect
Great with reentering that no joke situation each round, I think you do really well in your retrospective analysis and it great to see that reflected in the point split
I’m so glad Michelle won the fight!!! Michelle Khare trained so hard she deserved it!the fact she was older, shorter, and weighs less I’m so proud of her💗💗💗💗 and she only trained for 4 months not a year.
Well done, Andrea! What a scary thing to be a part of!
I loved this video. I think part of it is that you showed a lot of humility and gave your opponent the full props she deserves. Your breakdown was great, too. Stop beating yourself up!! You stepped into the ring with someone who wanted to tear your head off, and you made her face bleed. You did great.
And Levy... What a hilarious traitor! 😅😅
Respect to you both, 5 rounds is long! You both obviously had very good coaching and took that into the ring. Well done girls 👊
I'm glad it was a close fight and that you two are friends. Great work.
49 to 46 means you won 1 of 5 rounds. (Winning a round gives you 10 points, loosing it 9 points)
Andrea, considering you had 2-3 months to train, and Michelle had a whole year, and all three judges scored 49-46, YOU DID GREAT! And you also did a very good job analyzing your match. YOU WILL LEARN ALOT FROM THIS BECAUSE YOU ARE HONEST WITH YOURSELF! I look forward to your next match with great anticipation!!
They both took the fight on short notice. Weren't you listening?
@@listey Michelle had a whole year to train, were YOU listening?
@Justin Hawthorne Andrea already fought Dina Belenkaya a while back, and trained, but Andrea didn't say about it.
Haha no offence but 49-46 means she lost 4 rounds to 1
@@memebroski228 You know, no offence but it’s hard to respond to you when your English is dogshit. Is it okay if you can retype what you mean so I can understand? I just don’t get what your point is because you’re talking about a completely different fight.
Wow you actually looked a lot better than I thought. Took so many shots and just stayed persistent and on the attack. Very impressed
Andrea the way you give commentary for your fight is cool I feel like you process each move/exchange in the same way as a chess move
Respect. Way better than expected. You did a great job here!
Great effort Andrea. Easily best fight of the night and the fact your face doesn't look like it took any damage is a WIN itself!
Amazing young lady to both have the courage to do this fight and even more so to do the aftermath. Hats off to her. She more than held her own.
Both you and Michelle took on a tough challenge with this fight! Fighting is hard enough. With cutting weight, you're super tired after... and fighting someone 20ish lbs bigger than you really sucks too. Huge props to the best fight of the event! These matches are a great way (like Tony said) to bring boxing awareness to the masses, but also a great way to bring chess and ... whatever you might call what Michelle does, LOL ("Renaissance-person-ship?") to fans of boxing and marshal arts. Losing sucks but it's also the greatest gift. Count every landed punch as a win and pat yourself on the back for all the money raised for charity because of you two! I'm sure there are lots of young girls out there too who you have inspired to be brave and try something like boxing too.
You have a lot of potential! Give yourself more time in training and you could absolutely contend in the ring. Everyone who watched the fight is proud of you. You did great!
Great job Andrea, love to see your growth in everything you decide to do beyond chess. Keep pushing yourself on new challenges!
Came here from Michelle's channel, so proud of you! Even prouder of you two still remaining friends!
This was an amazing effort, I was shocked at how good you were for the short amount of time you had to train.
I am a fighter, admittedly a different sport, but both of you did more for longer than most will ever know.
This is an elite club and you are in it.
Well done Andrea ! You worked hard and this is inspiring !
I also watched Michelle's video on this. And being a fighter myself I must say both of you girls did an amazing job, I was so surprised considering the experience level. 🙌
Last 30 seconds of the 5th round and your South paw cam thru! Great match congratulations to you both!
I've been following the both of you for years, not sure who I was gonna root for, but damn...the both of you were impressive.
Thanks to both you and Michelle, that was super entertaining.
You did incredibly well and have a lot of talent. I would love to see you continue and grow in this sport. I think it would be awesome to see you and Michelle rematch after you have a year under your belt. Would be a great main event for CC3!
Both of you did stellar job. Amazing job from both of you.
that was so corageous of you andrea to deal with this challenge... u are a strong woman
that was a tough challenge you set for yourself, and I think you really shined. Hard enough to face your fears, but you knew it wasn't going to be easy, and you gave it your all. Kudos to your spirit and toughness. I think you did better than you are giving yourself credit for. It wasn't that you were a bad fighter, it was that Michelle was that good. Nothing to be ashamed of here. Good fight!
You did really well considering the experience you have. It’s been interesting watching you develop over the past few months. Maybe you don’t box, perhaps you do other physical challenges like boot camp. Although, a rematch after a year of training would be interesting as well. Anyway, good luck on your next adventure, can’t wait to see what you do next.
You should be proud, respect for what you did, it needs a lot of courage congratulations
I doubt a rematch would be accepted if Andrea had 1y of training. Andrea has a better jaw and more power (judging by the damages on each girl). With enough training & exp she would just stomp her opponent.
Coming from Michelles' channel that just released her story. Both ladies put on a heck of a show and a really good fight! Well done to both, they are both champions!
You did an AMAZING job. I know this is old but this was an impressive showing. Plus you already know ways to improve. Great work!
Fantastic fight Andrea! As a chess boxer myself, you showed great heart, determination and impressive stamina.
One observation: You naturally fight very aggressively and squared up, which isn’t always helpful if you’re the bigger fighter. If you learn to box taller you can be more relaxed on the outside. You applied pressure really well, and Michelle was having to work hard to get off the ropes. If you’d saved some energy on the outside and clubbed her with a couple of body shots, you’d have caught up with her more often, as you did at the end of the first round.
You can be extremely proud of your efforts, and hopefully we’ll see you back at Chessboxing Nation again!
You can definitely be proud of yourself!
You did something not a lot of people would try
And with only 2 months of training.
You’ve got Guts!
Way to go
It's super impressive for you to come from scratch and play like that. Even more courageous to watch this fight over and react. I can imagine how that feels and I'm sure that's high anxiety. You're impressive.
Mannnnnnn what a great fight between 2 very motivated amateurs ladies really got in there and got after it!! Great work!!
Respect for that last round Andrea. Myb you didn't know better but any professional who is tired just goes into defence + clinching which is very boring like a hugging competition. You duked it out with her and stood your ground. Well done!
My goodness, you're SO self-critical - considering how little training you've had.
Give it, say, a year, and you'll blow her away. It wouldn't be close.
Don't give it up, Andrea! You're talented af. x
Copium lmao stop simpin

@@BradAaronTaylor in all due respect but u are just discrediting michelle. And no she didn’t train for a whole year, her camp started 3 month ago and andrea 2 month. She train inconsistently for a year like andrea for 5 months (since the chessboxing event) so it’s kinda bad faith what andrea did with the ‘she trained for a whole year and i only for two month’ thing.
