Comments Thread For: Andrade-Alimkhanuly: WBO Postpones Purse Bid, Grants Five-Day Period For Andrade To Finalize Next Fight

[Elastic Recoilz]

Everything that came out of Kautondokwa's mouth when he was briefly relevant showed him to be humble and respectful - you could learn a lot sat at his knee and listening.

You are only 199 posts in and have already outed yourself as a racist - stay ignorant or expand your mind.

No... I think you are probably low key racist if you think I was being racist there. I merely used that term to highlight how obscure and unknown the Namibian opponent was and how awful Andrade's chin is by getting floored from said opponent. Lets not forget Akavov and Williams had Andrade on Bamby legs while Vanes Martirosyan actually put him on the Canvas. Lets face it, there are not many championship level Africans in boxing (Indongo, Commey and the guy who got beat by Sunny Edwards at flyweight?? at the top of my head). The championship pool is mainly made up of Americans, Latinos and Europeans - again hence why I used that term. There was no malice intended, definitely no racist intent - we are all humans at the end of the day.

If you haven't got a grasp of basic comprehension or have a habit of incorrectly reading between the lines then keep your thoughts to yourself - you're just making yourself look like a melt on a public forum.

All I'm taking away from this is that yet another purse bid was put off for what feels like the dozenth time in the space of a week. This sport's bureacracy is beyond f'ed

Eh, people are going to dislike him regardless

Great post! He should take the Parker fight, which is probably a lot more money, especially in the UK! Nobody knows Alim, (he's only had 111 fights), except the very hardcore!

Ahem, someone wake me up when Doo Doo actually fights someone with a pulse outside of the Canelo sweepstakes.

Demetrius Andrade Moving To 168, Vacating WBO 160-Lb Title
January 26, 2022

Demetrius Andrade has decided to move up to 168 to become the mandatory challenger to Canelo Alvarez with the WBO. Part of that decision involves Andrade (31-0, 18 KOs) vacating his WBO 160-lb title before moving up to 168 to face #1 contender with the World Boxing Organization Zach Parker (22-0, 17 KOs) in a title eliminator to determine Canelo’s mandatory...

The straw that broke the camel’s back for Demetrius is that after defending against his WBO mandatory last April against Liam Williams, the sanctioning body recently ordered him to defend against another mandatory in Zhanibek Alimkhanuly.

That would have been a low-money fight that wouldn’t have been easy work for Andrade. The two had a purse bid this week, but Demetrius has no intention of taking that fight.

As a result, Andrade will vacate his WBO 160-lb title and Alimkhanuly will likely face Esquiva Falcao for the vacant WBO title.

“Demetrius Andrade intends to vacate his 160-pound title and move up to 168, sources told @SInow. Andrade’s team is working on completing a deal to face Zach Parker, with the winner to become the mandatory for the [WBO] super middleweight title held by Canelo Alvarez,” said Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix.

It should be interesting to see if Canelo Alvarez vacates his WBO 168-lb title if Demetrius successfully defeats Zach parker to become the mandatory for the Mexican star.

It would be a miracle if Canelo suddenly started showing interest in fighting Andrade because it’s a bad match-up for him. Canelo does poorly against fighters that move and box the Andrade can, and he’s not going to want to take that fight and lose.

It’s too bad that it’s come to this for Andrade because he likely would have stayed at 160 if he could have gotten the big names to fight him.

I know people have this dream of Canelo 5 years ago when he struggled against pure boxers and how they wish that were still true. However it’s not even in the realm of any possibility that Doo Doo comes remotely close to beating Canelo. Canelo is a completely different fighter than 5 years ago. He showed it with the last two he fought. While competitive in spots Canelo is on a whole different realm and would end Doo Doo with body shots.

Not so sure, only because of his recent competition, but I would love to see Canelo fight Charlo, Boo-Boo, or Benavidez!

Laughable defence.
You know your boxing but apparently have little knowledge of what constitutes a demeaning racist comment.
I argue coherently and rationally. There is just no defence for conflating Africans and mud huts in the same sentence. So zip it up and think before you type. Lets have more of your knowledge and less bombast.

If it wasn't for the Aleem kabababaja fight it wouldn't be a bad fight. Parker's power has been looking pretty good.
