Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade vs. Janibek Alimkhanuly: Purse Bid Set For January 14

[-Kev-]

This is what I am talking about here. Why every single title sucks. Zhanibek Alimkhanuly (yes, I copied and pasted his name) is the #1 contender. This dude has 11 fights and can already fight for a major title.

Joe Louis got his first title shot in 32 pro fights. And it was the only title any one can fight for. Not 1 of 4. Not a version of 1 of the 4. Not a made up one.

But now we have to watch fighters with piss poor resumes like Andrade, pretend to be a champion, and then guys with 10 fights getting a shot at this pretend champion.

The Ring should be the only title. Their rankings are way better than the ABC title rankings with their obscure top 10 ranked fighters.

I wish I can say someone needs to get rid of Andrade, but he has proven to be very elusive and all talk. Ducked Charlo and Lara. Wants the big money fights without earning them. Please retire, no one will care.

People always putting this dude up or down. I’m sure he’s happy cashing his checks and going home with little wear and tear. Let’s be real, half of us would be fronting talking about being frustrated that nobody wants to fight us meanwhile don’t mean it a bit because hellll…earning two million to take 50 punches and win and be back to normal by Wednesday is way more appealing that two million and taking years off yourself. I do believe this man is happy to cash his checks…no matter what he says.

It's plain as day that Andrade intends to fight for a vacant WBO 168 strap against another unranked nobody. He knows Canelo isn't coming back to 168, but he will continue using Canelo's name to pretend like he wants big fights while he continues to assault various Irish pub employees.

Andrade will become a 3 division "champion" whilst having never stepped into the ring with a current, former, or future world champion. Staggering level of politicking. FRAUD.

Andrade should drop the belt and Eddie. Hearn has done nothing for his career.

He's paid him and got him out regularly. If PBC will give him the Charlo fight he should leave but would they? A lot of PBC fighters seem not to fight, what does Top Rank have for him? What move gets him a better position?

Hearn is an awesome promoter. It is clear that he is all about making the big fights that fans want to see right now. No marinating. Just make them happen. He is the best promoter in boxing right now. This guy is even willing to send his fighters to other networks just to make a fight happen. Idk what more do fans want out of a promoter.

You can’t sell dog poop though. As much as Hearn wants to help Andrade and make good fights for him, he can’t force the top guys who are looking for big fights. GGG isn’t going to take a step back and fight Andrade with 0 good wins, plus he is looking to cash out. Andrade is not a cash out fight for anyone. Canelo? Forget it, Canelo paid his dues vs fighters with “boring” boxer/slick styles (Mayweather, Trout, Lara). He isn’t taking a step back either. Unless it’s for a new belt elsewhere (CW).

Andrade already pulled out from a scheduled Charlo fight once, years ago, he isn’t getting that again. Andrade already turned down Lara years ago, and Lara at 40 years old, that fight lost its luster.

Nobody cares to fight that paper champion with his vacant WBO title win. Hearn can’t help him.

This Alimkhanuly guy is in the Top 10 though, according to The Ring.

Can't say I've ever seen him fight, heard he's decent though.

This will be the 3rd time Andrade has fought someone in The Ring's Top 10 throughout his 13 year career.

Andrade has done nothing in his career regardless of who promotes him.

Eddie's not the one who turned down the Jermell Charlo and Erislandy Lara fights. That was Andrade. He wanted Culcay instead.

Yeah, Andrade has been his own worst enemy throughout the entirety of his career. He's had these self inflicted problems long before Hearn.

That's it with Andrade's title reign, Zhanibek will beat him or he will just drop the belt.

Janibek is pretty good. He only has 11 fights but he has 3 decent wins: Brant, N'Dam and Alexander (admittedly a close fight). Brant (deserved) and N'Dam (undeserved) have wins over Murata and Alexander just beat Luis Arias.

It's going to be a very difficult fight for Andrade. Because he's failed to force himself into a big money fight, he's in a situation where he will have to fight a very tough, relatively unknown fight most likely without a big purse.
