I think to me it shows the danger of basing yourself exclusively down under- the step to world level is too wide
Sure Andrei people and fans will say how he guts it out etc but the gulf was wide, I really think Alimkhanuly injured his left in the 2nd round so really shelved it for the rest of the fight allowing Andrei some leeway to grab and smother which wore him down some but really they were leagues apart in class.
Andrei could still forge out a career but to me should head overseas for training and opposition opportunities
Mea Motu seems different - her power is real although O'Connell is shot to bits and has been since Bridges iced her... Shannon did show skill and I felt was setting traps for Mea that would have paid some dividends had she had some speed and power to pull the trigger, so to me with Mea its really when she fights an elite prime fighter that we see what level she is - until then jury is out.
I do think she can rattle some heads though but again will fighting at home be exposed when she steps up.?
