Donovan George, IBF World number 4, is scheduled to fight IBF World number 7, Librado Andrade, in an exciting World Title Eliminator match up. The winner of the eliminator will become the mandatory challenger for current IBF Super-Middleweight Champion, Lucien Bute. Current negotiations are being held with Golden Boy Promotions (Andrade's promoter) to secure the date and location for the fight......stay tuned for more details to follow!
This will be fight of the year.
I get so pissed off when I see these ABC organizations recycling their challengers over and over again.
Andrade has been beaten twice by Bute, so how does he find himself in an eliminator again, when he's only ranked 7 on top of it ? fukken joke.
Everyone else declines a shot at George, who is the next available contender to fight. Back in May, George was really close to fighting Peter Quillin. Originally it was to determine the #1 spot and the terms were all agreed upon and such.
Quillin decided he'd be better off fighting at 160 and felt more comfortable there so the fight didnt happen. Then George was going to go to Argentina to fight some fighter from there but he pulled out.
Andrade was the next available choice.
