Comments Thread For: Andrade-Alimkhanuly: WBO Formally Orders Mandatory Middleweight Title Fight

[tritium_arma]

So first they order Crawford to fight #2 Porter instead of #1 Vergil Ortiz Jr., and now they order Andrade to fight #2 Alimkhanuly instead of #1 Munguia! I wonder if they talked to Oscar first? Both #1 ranked fighters are his fighters!

Munguia already asked to not be made the mandatory and Ortiz's people declined.

If a promoter can petition the WBO to make its 11-fight boxer a mandatory challenger for Andrade's title, why can't Boo Boo's people petition for a mandatory unification fight against other champions in the division like Charlo? All this calling people out during the post-fight interview is just lip service and accomplishes nothing.

There are no such things as mandatory unifications.

Janibek is a dangerous opponent especially since even while being green he still destroyed Rob Bryant. If Janibek can tweek a few things I can see him beating Andrade. Honestly I can see Janibek beating anyone in this division with a lil more seasoning.

I am glad they are making Andrade fight a good fighter instead of the lousy fighters he cherry picked. his entire time as middleweight champion.

If that's true, why do they remain in the #1 spots?

Great fight - lets see who's better. I hope Charlo/GGG/Murata do not avoid the winner

I am glad hope this guy is the real deal

You catch my drift though.

Not saying Janibek wins, but he could spoil things. Obviously he hasn't been in with someone like Andrade, but Demetrius also hasn't been in with someone as technically sound as Janibek in quite awhile. He's not the fastest or strongest guy but he can take advantage of lapses that Andrade tends to have. If other guys have "hurt" Andrade before, Janibek surely has enough pop as them. But it's pretty ****ing ridiculous how many mandatories this guy has to deal with.

I bet Andrade ducks him and asks the WBO to allow him to go to 168

Yeah I give him a great chance to beat Andrade that's why I think he ducks him. We shall see
