Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Confident Saunders Will Dazzle, Beat Andrade

I'll agree that Andrade doesn't have a big name on his resume (yet). I base calling him Elite on his pure talent. He's one of the most complete fighters I've ever seen. He has all of the attributes you look for and he makes it look effortless. Now he has to show and prove against the big names like all the other Greats before him did. I believe he beats everyone they've been mentioning him with (charlo,golovkin,etc.). Hopefully these fights happen.. And soon . He didn't look great in his split decision win against culcay. He's beaintg ggg and canelo and goes sd with journeyman. Lay off the crack son. Also didn't look great in his split decision win against vanes.

Funny that Eubank Jr, Andy Lee and Lemieux were supposed to kill him but didn't and now they are B/C level fighters! Saunders is really underrated, this is mainly because he comes across as a bit of a moron lol I thought the eubank Jr. Fight could've gone either way-very, very close fight and eubank just got trashed by Groves... Lemieux had Already been exposed twice if I'm not mistaken by the time Saunders got to him. Andy Lee is a decent fighter, very entertaining but a killer he's not and has a few losses (with a draw that should've been a loss). These are B level fighters. I just hope Saunders brings his A game and may the best man win.

What makes Andrade elite, who has he beaten to deserve elite status? I'll agree that Andrade doesn't have a big name on his resume (yet). I base calling him Elite on his pure talent.

Andrade has been ripe for the picking since the Culcay fight. Lara had all the resources to make the Andrade fight, and could have beat him by UD with his running and potshotting style. Instead, he picked Gausha, who nobody has heard of. Andrade is a good name to add in anyone's resume. Billy made the right choice.

I'm surprised either of them took it to be honest. These two turds are known to talk a bunch of crap about a top opponent when they know they aren't available to fight, then disappear when they are available. Andrade really isn't anything special and he's done nothing of note in years. He hasn't even fought a good middleweight yet so in my opinion, Saunders has the advantage. Andrade has been inactive a lot, which should help BJS. But when Andrade is on he is a tremendous boxer. If that guy shows up we will be looking at the new WBO middleweight champion of the world. I'm actually excited about this fight.

Beat? Probably. Dazzle? Doubtful. Saunders dazzled Lemieux. But I don't think he will beat Andrade, this is such a dangerous fight. I'm surprised he took it.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS proved once again he fears nobody by agreeing to face Demetrius Andrade in his own backyard. The WBO middleweight champion will defend his title against the American across the Atlantic in October. We came to a deal with Andrade's promoter just five minutes before we were about to enter purse bids to stage the fight.Click Here To Read More] ... the article in the OP is by Frank Warren, right?... ... I'll wait for Joe DeGuardia and Eddie Hearn takes... :)

Funny that Eubank Jr, Andy Lee and Lemieux were supposed to kill him but didn't and now they are B/C level fighters! Saunders is really underrated, this is mainly because he comes across as a bit of a moron lol Your right about both points. Saunders is an underrated boxer until hes last fight, and hes also a complete nobhead whos hard to root for. He may get outspeeded here, but i think he has the edge in chin. Andrade looks a little fragile.

Very glad they did the fight, I thought they would not agree to fight eachother giving their history. 50-50 fight imho, Saunders is a great boxer when he is at his best (Lemieux version) but Andrade is what I consider a slick ankward guy. Very close to call but If you asked me I'd pick Andrade, I think his reach, movement and footwork wil win him a close ud.

Billy joe has decent boxing skills but he's been fighting B & C level comp his whole career and the media has made too much of it. He's in with an elite fighter for the first time. This is more like a 60/40 fight to me(and only because Andrade has been so inactive).Can't see Saunders winning this one. Andrade by decision.
