Now that is a title fight.

Excellent test for both.

Andrade should be favored.

Thank goodness that there's a back-up plan.

No thank you!

I am always up for two unbeaten fighters going at it. Might be a little tactical though.

What excuse will Vanes have for pulling out this time?

Great fight, well deserved. Two undefeated Olympians going at it, someone's Zero has got to Go! And it will be Andrade's zero, Vanes kills him guaranteed!!

Nice to see an organization (WBO) with some dignity and integrity, **** the WBC. Keep chasing that title Lara, I can see the WBC forcing a mandatory after four or five years.
