Surprising but really cool. Makes me wonder who's rocking the boat over at the WBO though.

In the WBO letter they stated BJS hadn't fought a top 15 MW in 14 months and only maintained his own high ranking due to other MW's (Rubio, Jacobs, Vera), fighting for other orgs.

Rafael reported interesting behind the scenes discussion with Peullo & Arum. Supposedly they worked out a deal where Andrade would withdraw his petition and fight on the undercard in the UK and then fight the winner of Korobov-Saunders in 90 days. But Arum didn't get back to Peullo in time and Warren's guy lost out.

Think Bob wanted some of that sweet UK money and that Andrade is just a really difficult fight. Korobov will have to really work on cutting off the ring and being able to time Andrade when he jumps in.

Lol I would have expected this from the WBC...

Supposedly Saunders hasn't faced anyone decent in over a year. 22-0 European champ doesn't count then or 15-0 British champ? He's faced 4 undefeated prospects one of whom went on to earn a title shot and he's still only had 20 fights!

What the hell is with earning second spot in the rankings and then being told his resume isn't good enough for a shot? Lol at suggesting Daniel Jacobs has a more impressive resume too.

I don't even rate BJS that highly, I think he'll probably fall short at world level, but, damn this is some funky boxing boxing politics.

Anyone else think Andrade has the tools to give Floyd a tough fight?

Definitely. Tall southpaw, good jab, good speed, high punch output.
