Andrade is with Top Rank isn't he?

I think he's with Star boxing.

Banner. Same as Ruslan Provodnikov. But it makes no difference because they work exclusively with HBO and Top Rank.

Andrade has always been a guy I thought would be a tough match-up for Floyd a giant southpaw who is committed to using range, with solid skill and athletic attributes. Then there is the age thing on top of that, as time passes Andrade looks better and better as a guy that could cause Floyd serious issues.


Tough to see Floyd fighting him though given where Andrade is at currently and how much time Floyd has left, Andrade would need to put in serious work to even dream of getting that fight.

I didn't think Andrade/Vanes was competitive at all.

Interesting. Looked it up and he's co-promoted by both:

Banner Promotions' Artie Pelullo, Andrade's co-promoter with Joe DeGuardia of Star Boxing, told ESPN.com that he is hopeful they will make a deal with the Rose camp.

That was the laugh of the day right there. I like Andrade but from what I witnessed in his last fight he doesn't have that superstar swagger or the skills required to take over boxing. Every time Vanes nipped him he looked like he was going down, terrible footwork...

Either way right now he is an HBO guy until something changes, but who knows with Andrade saying something like this getting to GBP might be his aim, GBP is certainly stronger in 154 at the moment and has guys at 147 that could come up.


I don't know his contract situation but he has been with those cats since he entered the game after the 08 Olympics, so he might be able to be a free agent soon.

His fight before Vanes was on Showtime. I think Ruslan works specifically with TR and HBO, because he had to sign a certain type of contract to get Bradley, but Andrade and Vanes was a mando, so he didn't have to sign anything tying him to either
