Is Demetrius Andrade the next big thing in boxing?

HBO is going to make Andrade vs Tapia/Kirkland winner next but his promoter should trying to get Molina so he can have 2 belts at 154

The fact that he was able to rid us of Vanes makes me a fan. Vanes is so terrible and always has his name for some odd reason in the headlines. I will forever heart Andrade for ridding us of that guy. Hopefully we never hear from him again

He's good. He would be trouble at 154 for anyone. Lara beats the brakes off of him in my opinion, but he has a very good shot at anyone else in the division. His problem is that he fights pretty uninspired. He'll continue to get wins but he doesn't really have me excited to watch him fight again. Which you need to be the next big thing in boxing. "It" and he doesn't seem to have it in my opinion.

I thought Demetrius did exactly what he had to get the win. My only complaint is he looked like he could have done a little more and maybe have stopped Vanes.

Andrade doesn't look particularly impressive.

Lara couldn't do anything with Vanes and fought to a draw with him. I know styles make fights but that's exactly why I think Demetrius is all wrong for Lara. If they fight and you want to place a points bet just message me.

You know last night was essentially a draw but Andrade just got the thumbs up right? so what is your point here?

Lara is average - he isn't beating the brakes off of anyone - I literally have no idea why he's so hyped.

He fought Vanes - looked just as bum as Vanes

Looked awful against a corpse named Angulo

Looked just generally average against Freddy Hernandez

Terribly average against Molina

That dude is literally living off his performance against Paul Williams.

Andrade > Lara

That would be my question about being the next big thing, he can win fights I don't doubt that but can he take it to the next level is much harder.

He is not a guy that overly looks to press home his advantages, and is comfortable taking his win on the cards, although that one card for Vanes may cause a bit more urgency for him. He reminds me a lot of Andre Dirrel but a bit more offensively inclined
