Andrade could prove himself by beating Janibek

[waymeather]

Andrade is looking for that win that says he’s a real champion and deserves the big fights. Well his chance to do that is right in front of him. Janibek is the real deal. I watched him in the 2013 World Amateurs and really liked his style. His style was a bit different then but you can see his talent.

This is a fight between top fighters and the winner will really prove themselves.

can an unproven guy beat another unproven guy to prove himself?

It’s a good question but I believe so in this case. Both have proved themselves to some extent especially if you include their amateur careers and the talent is evident.

And to be clear I’m saying they will be proving that they are worthy of being called a champion and deserving of the big fights.

Janibek already has a more impressive pro career than Andrade. Gotta treat BooBoo like those living billboards on the Simpsons Halloween episode and just stop paying attention.

Didn't Andrade already duck Janibek. This was ordered then suddenly got called off.

Andrade dropped the belt, and Munguia turned it down. The WBO went down the list to find a challenger

Yup...the purse bid got delayed because of covid then Andrade decided he'd rather move up to 168 and face Parker than Janibek....smart move.

Meant to say Andrade dropped the belt*

Andrade’s career is just a series of one smart move after another.
