Andrade officially has moved up?

"Although it has not been officially announced yet, secondary junior middleweight titlist Demetrius Andrade (24-0, 16 KOs), 29, of Providence, Rhode Island, will face an opponent to be determined in the co-feature. Andrade's fight will be his first of a newly signed three-fight contract with HBO. Andrade will fight a nontitle fight in the middleweight division, one HBO is heavily invested in as the television home for Canelo Alvarez, Gennady Golovkin, David Lemieux and newly signed Daniel Jacobs." http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/20819445/jezreel-corrales-make-third-defense-vs-alberto-machado-next-month

Jacobs and Andrade both signed 3 fight deals with HBO. But only one of these guys I see getting major fights and that's Jacobs. It's no secret Andrade can't get fights. If fighters like GGG and Canelo and Saunders have a choice between Andrade and Jacobs they will choose Jacobs. Hearn and Haymon can shell out more money than Banner/Star boxing. He would have done better staying over at SHO as he had a belt at 154. Please Andrade just fought a bum and went SD with him. No one even cares about him. What has he done? Who has he beaten?

Jacobs vs Andrade is a feasible fight I guess sometime in the future now. Not going to happen, they grew up together in the Ams. Actually, if I remember correctly, Andrade is the reason Jacobs didn't make the Olympics lol. Andrade said he would fight Jacobs but it would take some big bucks to make it happen.

ye cos he was gettin fights at sho lol He had a belt at 154 so he would have eventually got something like Lara or a unification with Hurd or Charlo or at least Julian Williams or Tony Harrison. Maybe he can get Curtis Stevens over on HBO lol.

well if that leads to Andrade getting fights and one of those 3 against GGG, Canelo or Lem, hard to argue withi t being a bad decision. The guy has so much talent but its being wasted.
