Should be a good fight

I predict that Andrade goes over to Eastern Europe and beats Baysangurov just like Paulie went over there and whipped Senchenko.

Not likely.

Baysangurov is better than Senchenko.

And a very protected boxer like Andrade wouldn't go overseas to fight anyway.

Out of curiosity, what makes you think Andrade is protected? He's called out everybody.

I think he's unproven, not necessarily protected. This would be another step-up that's winnable for someone with his physical talent.

And if K2 won the purse bid, he'll probably have to travel. Should be a pretty interesting fight.

I agree. Far fom protected. He's pretty much an unknown fighter and isn't with the 2 major promotional companies so he wouldn't even have the luxury to be protected. He's gotta take every opportunity that comes his way.

Although he hasn't yet proved it, I think Andrade is one of the best kept secrets at light middle. His jab must be respected.

Andrade blows this guy up worse then Bundrage, Demetrius is very good fighter, good amateur career one of the last Americans to compete in the world amateur championships.

Andrade should smoke Baysangurov~ I would say it would be wise for Andrade to turn up the intensity a bit and make sure there is no doubt and if he has the chance he needs to strike and end it there.

I see no reason why Andrade would or should be reticent to fight that guy, other than the risk of going to another guys hometown for a guy that is not necessarily going to be looking for the stoppage. Although Andrade can crack when he wants to.
