Comments Thread For: WBO orders Andrade vs. Korobov for vacant title at 160

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It wasn’t going to be Peter Quillin vs. Matvey Korobov, not after Quillin dropped his World Boxing Organization title rather than get paid $1.4 million to defend against his mandatory challenger, Korobov.

And it’s not going to be Korobov vs. Billy Joe Saunders for the now-vacant belt.

Rather, it’ll be Korobov vs. the WBO’s 154-pound titleholder, Demetrius Andrade.

That’s what the WBO announced on Wednesday.

Hoping this ends up as the supporting bout to Hopkins-Kovalev.

Saunders' resume isnt that bad, respectable for a guy at this point of his career.

AHAHAHAHA the WBO making fun of Average Joe Saunders

While I don't really think all that highly of Andrade, I'd favor him over Matt "I have the gas tank of a Hummer" Korobov.

I have no problem with Andrade's side of this, but what the fuck has Korobov done lately - let alone in the past 5 years - to warrant a title shot? :conf1:

This is good news! Hopefully we can have B.J.Saunders vs Chris Eubank Jr, with British, EBU & Commonwealth belts on the line now!

NICE! better than quillin vs korobov

Hell Yes! Boo Boo's about to win another title in his 2nd division. That'll make him a major player at 160. Bring on Canelo, Cotto , or GGG afterwords.

Good fight, I'm not sure if Andrade is a middleweight though, we will have to wait and see. If he beats Korobov, he makes a compelling case for a GGG opponent.

I like Andrade and believe he can win, but I've seen him hurt by lesser fighters, should be a good one.
