Andrade wasted 2014?

[soul_survivor]

This saturday night, Demetrius Andrade should have been defending his title against one of the best young fighters in his division in a bout that could have made a star out of the winner. Yet Andrade is no longer in that bout and his supposed opponent is fighting someone else. Has one of the US' best young boxers wasted what should have been a great year?

No young fighter should only ever fight once a year. What do you all think?

No fighter under the age of 30 should be fighting less than three times a year. Especially if you're a champion. Get out there and defend. We can overpay these dudes hundreds of thousands as long as its premium network, but fighters dont want to take 10 round club fights anymore to even stay busy.

Yup. Totally wasted it.

Boo Boo is a joke.

He's with Star boxing.

I think Andrade is a Haymon managed fighter. He fought on HBO in his last fight and he was about to be on the Showtime card this weekend, but apparently $250k to fight Charlo wasn't worth it.

yeah, that charlo fight should have happened, its what i was alluding to in my original post.

so haymon managed and promoted by star boxing? does he have network restrictions considering his fight with rose was on hbo if im not wrong.

[MasterPlan]

He's not with Haymon.

And yes year wasted. Turned down fights with James Kirkland, Matt Korobov and Jermell Charlo.

I heard the Charlo fight will happen sometime in March-April of next year.
