Andrade vs Korobov On!

[Dinamita 03]

Saunders was screwed to be honest and I feel like Arum is behind it.

Imo it's fundamentally wrong that a boxer can fight for a vacant title without ever fighting at the weight.

Andrade has fought at middleweight before. He fought no one of note to deserve a title opportunity, but he's bounced around the MW and LMW division a couple times. I think he's gone as far as SMW.

Arum does seem to have a cozy relationship with the WBO.

they are both southpaws, righ?

BJS isn't going to get the fight afterwards... I guarantee it

Andrade is with Banner

I like it. Pulling for Andrade.

[Bigg Rigg]

Why y'all mad for??? Who cares if he gets a shot at the least valued belt of the division??? Cotto and GGG run the division. Let Boo Boo get a shot at the measly WBO title.

Banner have a good relationship with Top Rank having co-promoted a couple of times. Arum gets now Korobov in a marketable fight against an US opponent on HBO.

There's a good chance that either Warren would have won that purse bid for Saunders or that HBO may not have aired the Korobov v Saunders fight.

Imo the IBF are the only sanctioning body who seem to do things by the book these days.

Uhmmm, there's a little matter of Jermain Taylor suddenly being ranked in the top 15 at MW despite not having had a fight in about a year, let alone against anyone of note. And it's not like there was ever a cozy relationship b/c the IBF was the first to strip Jermain after he rematched Hopkins.

I'm thinking because they're short on money... but if they wanted too... they could try and muster a card together with Provo and Andrade again.

Also if Ruslan does fight in Russia and they can't find a date... then that would work. If not... Bob still has Bradley's undercard... but could just be a double header instead of a triple

Any word on TB's next opponent? I feel like the silence is deafening as we inch closer to the end of 2014.
