Comments Thread For: Zach Parker Seeks New Foe For November After Andrade Bows Out Of Interim Title Fight

[Roj]

Frank Warren gets exactly what he deserves for outsmarting himself and pulling the pennywise-pound foolish move. He should have bid the same $1.8 million he did the first time around and view it as a worthwhile investment in keeping Parker’s career on track and possibly getting a big win l his resume. Warren could have easily thrown Andrade-Parker as the main undercard fight for Fury-Charr and make it a card more people would be willing to buy. Instead Warren tries to be slick with a ridiculous trolling lowball offer that he wrongly assumed Andrade had no choice to accept. Dumb move

I hope Frank Warren reads this

Andrade hasn't done much over the past few years but I did see an interview a few months back where he said he wanted to fight David Benavidez, that he's in his prime and he doesn't have time to be fighting any whatever fighters anymore he wants the top dogs at 168 so hopefully that's the route he's trying.

Interesting decision by Andrade. I personally would have taken the small purse for the chance to get that interim title. Let's see what the future holds for him.

[STREET CLEANER]

Andrade has to understand that he does not bring the crowds to see him. He can be the most skilled guy in the division but means nothing if he can't put azzes in the seats. I really don't know where he goes from here. He is high risk low reward and it would be hard to look good against him. Without a title it would be even more difficult to get a fight.

All the constant talk from Andrade groupies, most avoided, most avoided.... Blah Blah... Try biggest duck, biggest fraud....

Andrade is a decent fighter but like Eubank Jr. doesn't want to take any real risks , I know the money was low but it seems his confidence too as beating Zack would have given him a perfect spring board to a big money title shot....I think he'll just fade away , he seems pretty good at that....
I want to see Zack tested , followed him in the amateurs and has done as asked so far as a pro. but needs that acid test.

Andrade Said he wants Benavidez and you believed him?

[famicommander]

He probably checked the Ring Magazine rankings and saw that Parker is actually in the top 10.

34 years old, 2 division titlist, still hasn't faced a single fighter who won a legitimate world title at any point in their career, and has only faced 2 top 10 opponents.

Pathetic.

[MexicanFistology]

I don't blame him for this pull out (because of the low purse bid) - but he's got no excuse for dropping the belt and avoiding Janibek. Just goes to show that having an undefeated recorded doesn't always help you.

What has Demetrius Andrade done in his career to be entitled to a big purse ? What elite fighters has he beaten? Aside from pulling out of the jermell charlo fight with 2 weeks
