Lara rejects Andrade, he's looking to unify with Hurd instead

[Szef]

Reading your posts it sounds like you're protecting when fighters get belts undeservedly. Hurd hasn't beaten anyone, he's a paper champ.

"enjoy being champ for a while".

Lol, by not fighting the other champs? You sound like someone who's interested in him business wise, not as a boxing fan.

The Deontay Wilder effect.

How can people even defend Lara here?

Lara has shown he'd fight anybody. If he wanted it and it didn't happen then something happened.

Andrade is the same guy who who pulled out of a fight with Jermell Charlo because Roc Nation told them to lol. Dude got tricked with no contract in hand. Wouldn't blame Lar if negotiations fell apart, who knows who promised him something else this time.

Fight a mandatory or lose your belt:

Or

Fight a better/harder and popular fighter and not lose your belt regardless, and then still be open to unify afterwards.


Yeah, this is why nobody usually takes you antiGGG fans seriously. You guys make poor logic conclusions and have double standards

Your double standards are exactly why nobody will ever listen to your criticism of GGG even when it might be legit.

Who's to say Andrade is better than Hurd? Compare their last outings. Hurd handled his business against another tough young fighter. He struggled for a minute and was able to bite down and hey the KO. Andrade struggled against Culcay. Couldn't get him out of there. Andrade has done nothing to separate himself from the pack at 154. All he does is talk while other fighters are showing it in the ring. He's nothing special.

A 33 year old with the resume of GGG shouldn't be fighting Dominic Wade's. Those are the type of fighters a prospect should be facing. So when the IBF mandatory comes due again you'll be ok with a 35 year old GGG fighting Tureano Johnson instead of a fight with Saunders or a rematch with Jacobs. There's a reason why fighters with great resumes, Pac, Floyd, Bradley, Ward, Marquez, D. Garcia, Khan, didn't go for that IBF belt. It's a great starter belt for a young fighter to get a strap but they have horrible mandatory's they hold you to. Look at Kell Brook resume since he won the belt from Porter & look at Porter resume since he lost the IBF to Brook.

Kool for now , WBA still have to order the fight tho

I just saw Andrade vs Culcay a while ago and I think Andrade vs Lara would be a boring fight. Culcay made Andrade look average. I never liked Andrade's awkward style in the first place. He doesn't use his height and ducks below his waist as one of his defense tactics, which becomes ineffective against small, strong fighters like Culcay. Lara vs Andrade is probably a waste of time at this point.

And it sounds like you're protecting Lara who on several occasions said he's not fighting the top 2 champs of his division because they're buds. Before you point the finger think about your stance.

Lara easily beats both.

Andrade would be a better win on his resume though. Lara would school him, look what Lara does to fellow southpaws (Williams, Trout).

Because the guy who had the IBF belt, Jermall Charlo, shares the same trainer as him. They were never going to fight each other.

You didn't answer my first question. Why would Lara call out Andrade four months ago if he wanted to unify? Why didn't he call out Jermell last year?

@Laraboxing You'll get your chance, I want to shut you up the most! ⚡Handle what's in front of you 1st���� (@BooBooAndrade). Then talk to me.��

Another reason why I'm kind of skeptical the Hurd fight is happening. Deflecting was the first thing he did when called out. What kind of response is that?



We don't know the reason why the fight fell through. Do you have some inside information?

And if the WBA allows for the unification then what's Hurd gonna say?

Keep up, kid. If you're gonna try and put a fighter down or try to talk **** about them then at least learn some facts first.
