[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

After repeatedly watching plans fall through to partake in an IBF-sanctioned eliminator, former title challenger Librado Andrade has opted to move on and let his colleagues have it.

a nice gut but only a fringe contender that would need a major upset 2 land a title shot...he takes unbelievable amounts of punches...

wise decision... Andrade is a walking punching bag, Stevenson would knock him out brutally.

This article is wrong. Andrade only had one convincing loss to Bute, not two. The other loss was very far from convincing.

Hey, I hated the ending of the 1st fight as much as anyone else. But objectively speaking, Bute beat the bell, even before that sorry ass ref began nitpicking w/ Librado. So with that in mind, he lost a wide decision.

It's fair to say that had the knockdown happened in any other round - or even 30 seconds prior -that there is justification for a stoppage on the basis that Bute was in la-la land. So in that regard I agree, one loss was far more convincing than the other.

Anyway, I hope Librado is able to work his way back to true title contention. Boxing needs far more of him.

Andrade should have dropped considerably in the IBF rankings after being outclassed, then knocked out in 4. I have no idea what these sanctionning bodies are thinking when they recycle these same guys endlessly.

Andrade isn't worthy of an eliminator right now, particularly not for the IBF title. What do you think ?

But look, SMW is nowhere near as deep as it's thought to be. The top contenders are guys like Rodriguez, Groves, Stevenson, Donovan George! 80% of "prime" Andrade is as good as any of these guys, only thing is, he's probably dropped more than that.
