    I'm ok with it if he's trading in his JMW title (which probably isn't the case). Saunders would still be in line for a title shot regardless.

      I'd be happy with Korobov vs BJS or Andrade. Both good fights.

      Andrade must be struggling to make 154, he's a big guy. 160 needs more good fighters so it'd be good for boxing if he moved up. I think he beats Korobov.

          So the WBO 154 is now free for Bradley vs Cotto or Canelo?

            This is great news. I hope the WBO grants Andrade the opportunity. This would be a tough fight for him, but a very interesting opportunity.

              Isn't Blow-Job Saunas the mandatory? Why would they give Andrade the shot over him?

                Canelo's never fighting at 154 again. He can't do it.

                  No he is not the mandatory, he is just the highest rated challenger after Korobov, that doesn't make him the mandatory.

                  Andrade is the WBO champion a weight class south. A lot of sanctioning organizations grant their champions an immediate shot when they move up.

                  At the end of the day, money talks. Whichever promoter gives the WBO more money under the table will get the title shot for their fighter.

                    He'd have to officially vacate it first

                      Rated #2, evidently the sanctioning bodies have a thing where if a title holder goes to that division, they become the mando...or something like that.
