Im a big fan of Demetrius andrade not just of his boxing he seems like a funny guy, he can talk, he got style, hes good looking (no ****) and hes got charisma. Why is this guy not popular? Hes basically a high functioning mayweather in terms of trash talking and fighting style he even tries to knockout his opponents recently risking his defence and chin etc. Why does noone talk about this guy? Hes such a great fighter. I think he beats canelo charlo and ggg and ive always thought this. Its clear hes being ducked and frozen out
I did want to respond to this specifically tho. I've had conversations about this outside of here. I remember a dude telling me he fights reckless. This was yearsss ago when he was at 154! He's ALWAYS taken chances in fights. That's why I don't really like when ppl compare him to Lara. Andrade's whole style is a risk.
If you remember when he fought Kautondokwa & had the double KD that wasn't called. Paulie said that takes guts to punch inbetween someone else punching. He's always done stuff like this tho. I see fighters with lesser KO% getting called power punchers, while Andrade just gets called "a boxer." & I be feeling like "wow it must only be 12 ppl who agree with me or something." Them other guys, it be all they have to offer or all they go for is the KO. Andrade does so many different things in the ring man.
There was people who didn't believe Floyd was who he was until he did exactly what he did to everybody else - to Pacquiao. & you have the ppl who still will never give him credit. But until they see Andrade literally have a fight go almost identical to what he does now they won't give him credit.
But to the point, he always took risks the opponent just can't capitalize. & he's not a good finisher. Kautondokwa in the 4th, Sulecki in the 1st, & Keeler in the 1st or 2nd. If he woulda got them outta there in them rounds he hurt them, he'd probably have 50k more followers or something right now lol. Knockouts create more believers than 12 round decisions.
Yeah his style is weird as hell. Definitely nothing like Lara. People that call him a pure boxer have never seen him fight
He has an ugly style and he can't KO top fighters.
Neither can Canelo or GGG.
It is hard to KO the other top guy in those middle divisions. It is not a heavyweight division.
He has an ugly style and he can't KO top fighters. He has been a cherry picker as well and has never fought a really good middleweight who is dangerous.
theres a big difference in being ducked and being content where you're at.
Its documentated that Andrade did duck the Charlos and if you look at what he's doing in the meantime he isnt even keeping himself busy with top talent.
Yeah GGG could fight Andrande but its not like Andrade is calling for that fight either. And no, saying someone's name isn't the same as calling them out.
I haven't heard anything from Andrade in a while yet I know he's been fighting guys who are litetally bums.
Compare to GGG in the same situation yeara ago. Dude at least fought top 10 guys while waiting for better opportunities and looked good doing it.
Andrade? Not so much.
Andrade reminds of Winky Wright, good fighter but nothing flashy, no big KO power and low key personality means he sits in the shadows, he needs that big fight and then he needs to win big.
I’m an open minded guy and often go out of my way to like someone. He hasn’t captured my imagination once. I feel like I know exactly what is going to happen every time he fights. I feel that everyone knows.
Knock down his unknown opponent in round one, coast to lopsided UD.

- -Thunder fists is it?
OK, U an Androgynous boy and most ain't. Create a new androgynous belt for For the rest of U Lady Laras to moan about and problem solved.
Simples!
Andrade should call out Charlo - Derevyanchenko winner.
Popularity? "Popular" are only guys that are known between casuals. I am not even sure Jermall Charlo is popular.
he's fought pretty weak opposition so can we really use the eye test? he usually looks good but not always. you could even say you would expect him to be more dominant against that level
Every matchuup you look at, you do an eye test on the skillsets of the two fighters. HISTORY PROVED triangles don't work. if he is so easy to beat, then fight him. this is how sports work if you ever played other than an EA Sports Game. Skill recognize skill. 147s know who crawford is, just like 154-160s know who Andrade is. We can play this millennial game of "who he fought?" He's an undefeated olympian and in the words of many analysts and retired boxers the real deal, so take his head Highlander style. Add Crawford to this list with his undipusted, 2 lineals, 2 ring.
I mean mayweather as in 'defensive black slick kinda fighter'
and korobov does fight like andrade but with no head movement or angles
Because they’re both southpaws? They’re not really similar at all.
I think Sulecki would beat Vanes, even the best version of Vanes. Liam Williams is under rated. Current Williams beats any version of Vanes.
I know I'm in the minority on that but I think Sulecki and Williams wins would be a part of a good Middleweight title run.
I've always thought he was the goods but his career choices are infuriating. He's never lived up to his potential so it's hard to rank him or even follow him as a fan when his opponents are abisimal.
A lot of bad decision early in his career but the money is there to fight him now, so it's straight up ducking like the welterweights with Crawford. Based on eye test, his style and length, he does a demo job on Canelo (dropped belts not to fight him for undiputed on DAZN), Charlo (only a punchers chance iike Wilder), Saunders (king of steriod spray) and Smith (he washes smith like he did brian rose). It just how this generation of boxing. Andrade should be top 10 p4p.

Smh, skimmed through your post. I was actually gonna give a legit response until I read, "worst performance & somehow thought he won." Just stop it man.
umm ok thats what happened. pac landed the far better punches. we can break it down if you'd like but no one ever takes that challenge they do what you just did, say stop it man or you are crazy! yet when you watch the film of the fight...the punches just arnet there for floyd. they just are not there.
and it was his worst performance. thats just my opinion but you might have difference expectations. he didnt look good in the first castillo fight either but there wasnt such a big gulf in quality punches in that one as the pac fight. and he started off well in that one and faded where the pac fight he never really got much going throughout so yes i would say its worst performance and thats pretty impressive if losing 7-5 to pac is your worst performance.
yes if you somehow thought he snuck a close win over pac i wouldnt agree but it still wasnt impressive in any way. it was a run out the clock type of decision where people gave him the fight just for making it slow and methodical but not focusing on the quality of punches being landed. not impressive to win in that fashion.
so please tell me how he did to pac what he always does cause it seems like the exact opposite. his strategy is usually to slow down the fight, make his opponent hesitate, then capitalize. now i will give you that he slowed down the fight, that he made pac hesitant, but that thid part where he capitalizes...that ireally is the the most imporatnt part because thats the part where he is supposed to land clean flush shots, that part really didnt happen much. at times yes but more often than not no. more often than not it was pac rocking his head around while he could only muster some very weak jabs.

He doesn't fight enough.
He's always with the wrong promoters/company.
He has never fought a good opponent.
His style ain't fan friendlyBingo! The reason why he is not more popular is because his style is non exciting and he is too afraid of taking risks inside of the ring for fear of getting hurt.
You have to bring ass in order to get ass. Also, his cautious and safety first style is just a turn off for many boxing fans and other fighters as well and also, his belief that he is worth more than what he is actually worth prevents him from fighting the best fighters.
Which is why none of them wants to fight him.
