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

That's funny I was there and there were 7500+ in attendance in the middle of nowhere in NH... You must be a math major?

50 miles from Boston, 20 miles from Concord. Yeah, right in the middle of nowhere


How many of the 7500 in attendance for the 12000 seat arena were there for Booboo? More importantly, why put the fight "in the middle of nowhere" unless they knew that nobody gave two ****s about it?

Not been to Namibia but 3 times to Ghana. There are loads of poor people there but equally many folk driving around in BMWs and Mercedes 500s plus villas with swimming pools, air-conditioned malls - and that was 25 years ago - lol. Namibia I think has a better economy than Ghana - it got a lot of support from South Africa + plus has a lot of mining activity.

I went to Ghana years ago, volunteer work. Completely diff region to Namibia lol, it's like comparing mongolia to thailand. The poor are exploited as usual. Look at a simple product they make over there, Shae butter. It's worth a lot, but the ladies who produce it aren't making anything.
Btw the first thing I thought of was the mining industry because of the AIM listed companies that claim they're setting up mining operations there (which rarely materialise).

Thats what they said when he fought Sulecki too... Then Andrade destroys him and everyone says Sulecki was nothing (Yet he gave Jacobs one hell of a fight) They also said Liam Williams was going to beat him... and he got dropped like everyone else... Andrade has NOTHING to benefit from fighting a guy with 11 fights!!! NOBODY CARES Just like nobody will care when he fights the next guy but what you don't know is that they have promised Andrade that he can fight Benevides right after the 168 mandatory if he beats Parker and Benevides beats Lemieux... Andrade has been trying to fight a relevant person for over 7 years and Zhanibek ain't it

Go back and watch round 11 of Williams/Andrade and TELL me why Andrade shouldn't of been DQ'd???

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.

Think you're being a bit overly dramatic there - I was obviously trying to be a bit comedic but its clearly gone straight over your head... If you was clued up on African geography before accusing me of racism, you'd know the mud hut or Rondavel is an extremely common feature throughout rural parts of southern Africa in countries like Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini and South Africa. There has been significant advances in Rondavel building throughout the years and millions of Africans are proud to call them their homes now.

Dude, I'm not gonna come on a public forum and be straight up racist am I? Again, the point I intended to make was the promoters plucked this Walter Kautondokwa guy from out of obscurity in Africa, whom at that point had certainly not made any waves in world boxing and for the most part was not known to be anything special YET he still unofficially sat Andrade down.

I'm sorry but the facts simply don't support your boxing argument. In reality, Zach Parker is irrefutably better than Martirosyan, Aurther Akavov or Liam Willaims and anyone that follows boxing would know that. Parker can box, has a good defense, foot work, heavy hands, decent hand speed and very, very good timing. On top of that Parker is the naturally bigger man, far and away a more difficult opponent than Alimkhanuly.

Just in case you didn't know, Parker is also ambidextrous, a switch hitter.

Oh yeah I'm with you on that. Up to now we've seen Andrade show vulnerabilities but he's just had enough skills to eek by - but not now! I rate Parker highly, you only have to see how he blasted out Marcus Morrison in 4 while Eubank Jr went the distance with him to know what's coming. I believe there's a good chance Parker actually stops Andrade in this.

but what you don't know is that they have promised Andrade that he can fight Benevides right after the 168 mandatory if he beats Parker and Benevides beats Lemieux...

Nobody 'knows' that because you just made it up. Benavidez isn't going to fight Andrade. PBC-Dazn won't agree, and Benavidez is staying safe waiting for Canelo. Who is "they" making these promises?
