Andrade ducks fighters then calls them out when he’s desperate. He thought he was the Golden Boy, turning down fights. Now look at him. Nobody cares to fight him, he doesn’t have much of a fanbase, not even Eddie Hearn could save his career.
Lara ducked Andrade, facts.
Team Andrade: Lara Turned Us Down Twice; Never Talked Money
Artie Pelullo and Ed Farris were as surprised as anyone when they learned Erislandy Lara claimed Demetrius Andrade had priced himself out of their inevitable fight. Pelullo, Andrade’s co-promoter, and Farris, the unbeaten boxer’s manager, both told BoxingScene.com on Wednesday that Lara’s handlers have twice turned down a fight against Andrade, long before how much money Andrade would make was even discussed. They’re particularly bothered by Lara’s claim because the sole reason Andrade agreed to travel to Germany last month to fight for the WBA’s “world” 154-pound title was to put the 2008 Olympian into position to become the mandatory challenger for Lara’s WBA “super” 154-pound title.
Especially since one would think that Jr. kind of grew up with money, Sr. most likely made good money.
Thats not how life works. The man is 33. He scarcely wants to spend his whole life with his dad in Brighton so he needs his own money. He seems to want to screw that money out of the boxing public through a fight with Conor Benn that I, for one, have literally zero interest in. I'd rather he took his hiding from Andrade or GGG, but, obviously GGG now has another fish to fry. Alternatively, if CEJ doesn't want to get beaten up or even undressed for a 3rd time in a ring he could just hang them up & go & get a job.
I'm not having a go at CEJ. Any man in the ring deserves some respect. CEJ lost clearly to BJS, but earned respect. There was a feeling that if CEJ worked on his skills he could be world title calibre. He never has improved in any way & I strongly suspect that what RJJ told him, in the gym, was 'Kid, you'll never be world class' hence he wants to cash out. The problem both Eubanks had was hard ears & if you won't learn you won't develop.
Proof. People are crying about Janibek being Andrade's mando with a resume full of duds and 4 he couldn't even stop. I contend b/c it's his central asian/eastern european name. Here is a response about ennis and ortiz who has twice as many fights and a recognizable fighter or 2 on their resumes vs lame thurman being ranked wbc mando over them. drop the belt andrade. bias all over the place.

To be fair, neither of the other 2 deserve it either, who have they really beaten? They look like the real deal but haven’t beaten anyone of note yet.
