    What's next for Demetrius Andrade??

    Andrade is a good boxer with great height and physical gifts but I'm still not sold on him. ....Andrade needs to step up in class so we can see what he is truly made of.

    I'd like to see him against the winner of Canelo vs Lara or Cotto.

    I don't see him getting Canelo/Cotto, maybe Lara, a fight he would likely lose.

      I would also like to see him in there with better opposition. I think he's good but Martirosyan showed he can get knocked down. I wonder what would have happened if he was in there with a Canelo or Cotto. Anyways I see him fighting the loser of Canelo-Lara actually. He would not fight Canelo if he wins, because a Canelo-Cotto fight trumps a Canelo/Cotto-Andrade fight in terms of business. If Lara wins then, Andrade might fight Canelo, so Canelo would have a chance to save face by beating an undefeated good boxer and win a title.

        Perfect fight would be Trout for both, if Trout wins he has belt again which he can bargain with for big fights if Andrade wins he has a real name on his resume and will be regarded as truly world class.

          He should really rematch Brian Rose.

          Brian Rose was robbed.

            Rose looked horrible.

              He was just warming up to it.

              On a serious note, I think he was one of the most of his depth title challengers from our shores since Michael Jennings.

              Good on him for fighting for a world title though.

                Tough to say as many of the top LMW's are tied up or coming off the back of tough fights at the minute.

                He looks like a fantastic talent, although it's tough to tell how good he is when put against boxers like Rose, who I love, who is a limited guy at the best of times and boxed appallingly tonight.

                Either way, I'm excited for his next fight, be it a big name or not, and will be tuning in.

                  Andrade/Molina unification makes sense to me. The winner would be more marketable as an unified champion.

                    His worth ethic is taking him a long way and and his natural gifts are impressive but I still don't think he's really been tested. There are little cracks here and there that make you wonder about him (chin, stamina), but I thought Andre Ward made a good point last night when he said Andrade rarely gets hit flush in a round and that's all his father/trainer can ask for. Against better competition though those traits will be put to test.
