Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade Not Impressed With Jermall Charlo's Resume

[Motorcity Cobra]

Listened to an interview with him yesterday. He blamed promoters, networks, managers, sanctioning bodies, boxing politics, basically everything but himself for his inactivity and trouble getting big fights. He acts like he's entitled to a big fight. He even said he's not really excited about the Culcay fight. This guy irritates me

I think Andrade should just get back into the ring first.

154 has probably the least appreciated top talent of any division and Andrade is among the best but you can't criticize someone's resume and then in the next sentence say, "I stopped willie Nelson"

Andrade may be right that it is up to the networks to make fights happen. They're the ones controlling the budget.

Espinoza needs to step up and make 2017 a better year for fans. Fans want to follow winners and their stories. They don't want to see Jermall, for example, who just had a huge win, disappear and stop the momentum going. Give him at least a stay busy fight, instead of putting him on the shelf for long periods of time.

**** a stay busy fight. Jermall didn't take big punishment vs JRoc so he can come back vs Andrade, Lara (if they weren't in same camp), GGG, Lemieux, etc no problem. Showtime has a limited boxing budget, why would you want them wasting that on stay busy fights?

I agree with you about momentum but momentum is not built with stay busy fights, generally speaking. It is built by stringing together victories over A-level talents.

The guy that fights once a year talks ****. I was a big fan, but the inactivity of Andrade took away some of the shine. As for resumes, I'd rather have Bundrage, Trout, and Williams than Martirosyan and Nelson on mine. Edge goes to Charlo.

Brah, I don't know which cave you've been hiding in. It's already too much to ask from these people that they fight 2x a year let alone ask them to fight 2 successive tough fights. I suggest you start tracking these people's inactivity. Many of these Haymon fighters fought once last year such as Jermell, Lara, Andrade, Stevenson, Thurman, Porter, Berto, Broner, Peterson has disappeared, etc. It's as if they're on strike or something.

So much jealousy crammed into such a small weak ass body.

I do think these Charlo brothers are jealous of Lara who gets to be overpaid for fighting Rodriguez-level opponents. They may even hate the guy. It may be the reason why Jermall was furious at the start of the Williams negotiations saying the fight is worth millions. Which is justifiable if you think about Lara fighting guys like Zaveck and gets to be paid $1 mil.

They are friends of that running Cuban coward.

You never get anything..because you're a bitter clueless little b*tch.

I heard somewhere that the other Charlo is no longer with Shields.
