Comments Thread For: Andrade-Alimkhanuly WBO Title Bout To Be Ordered, Must Take Place By November 17

Didn't andrade move up and is now re-scheduling that super mw fight with frank warren's guy, Zach Parker?

[tokon]

Andrade needs to either fight his mandatory@ 160 or vacate and move up to 168 not hedge his bets like he appears to be doing

War janibek #qazaqstyle

so does danny dig go back to washing cars and boxing in the leisure centre again, shame

[Clegg]

Parker and Janibek just trying to get meaningful fights and Andrade is able to hold up both their careers at once in different divisions. He already refused to fight Janibek in late 2021, why does he get another chance to spend months doing the same routine again? Strip this guy.

I can't believe the amount of people saying andrade should vacate since this could be a hard fight. That's absolute B.S. because when other fighters vacate for the same reason they are labeled cowards.

Called this as soon as the Parker purse bid was announced. Fight won't happen. Alas, it is not happening. Best win? Matirosyan SD? Without this title he's not got much leverage. No fans no excitement I think someone already called it as 'commercial death'. If you're clearly not backed by your promoter you have to HAVE TO take higher risk fights.

Andrade is 100% ducking this matchup.

[Get em up]

Andrade fan here and I totally agree with this. If I was his camp, this would be the ideal crystal. Keeping a title at 160 means the only real viable money name out there in the near future is 'Mell Charlo moving up, if Mall is going up to 168. Every other middleweight under the Matchroom/GB banner is simply not going to fight Andrade because if they were, they would have done it already. I can see GGG hanging it up after this year regardless of whether he wins or loses, and Munguia is going to keep getting protected like no ones business.

THEREFORE, I would move up to 168 and resume the Parker fight. Why? Because if Andrade wins, he automatically becomes the biggest name that is the least physical threat to Canelo at that weight class. Something tells me Canelo doesn't want Benavidez AT ALL, nor a Charlo fight. And that's when all of sudden magically, the Andrade-Canelo fight comes together. I can see the promo now: The "payday" press conference, Andrade calling Hearn and Matchroom to task after the Quigley win, all of this is great promo. Watch it happen.

This I agree with. The only variable is I could see Canelo starting to drop the titles at 168 before being forced to accept a mandatory fight. He likes to call the shots and honestly all these dudes need to fight each other to see who gets it ( Andrade, Charlo, Benavidez ) at least if Parker/ Andrade happens the winner either gets that shot or gets elevated to champion status so it's a win win for Andrade either way providing he beats Parker. Let's be real Alimkhanuly is a way more dangerous fight with way less upside cause even if he wins none of the other champs at 168 are gonna unify with Andrade.

Andrade will do what he ALWAYS does, avoid a good matchup.......
