Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade Vacates WBA Belt - Focused on Murata, GGG

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The World Boxing Association (WBA) "regular" super welterweight title is now vacant due to the resignation of Demetrius Andrade, the WBA's Championships Committee confirmed. The reason why Andrade vacated the belt is because he wanted an immediate opportunity in the middleweight division and requested the sanctioning body to get ranked in that category to be able to fight for another WBA championship in the future. The WBA "regular" title belongs to Ryota Murata, who captured the belt on Sunday with a TKO of Hassan N'Dam, while the WBA's "super" champion at the weight is Gennady Golovkin.

The Lara vs Andrade fight is gone forever.
Who would have thought it will never happen despite being in the back of fans' minds all these years?
All because of these sanctioning bodies not enforcing rules, and instead let garbage fights like Lara vs Gausha happen.
It's a dirty corrupt business.
Nothing to do at all with the best fighting the best.
It will stay that way for years to come.

I do think Murata is the right path to take for Andrade before Pursing a GGG, Canelo, Jacobs or Charlo fight. Andrade vs Murata is a EXCELLENT FIGHT!

Even fans don't give a *** anymore.
Lara vs Gausha types are totally acceptable to them.
Makes me wonder why they're even fans.

Andrade chin is suspect. He's gonna get KO'd soon

Andrade has a three fight deal with HBO. I doubt Arum let's Murata fight there.

Murata is with Top Rank/ESPN and Andrade is with HBO. I won't hold my breath. Golovkin will rematch Canelo, rematch Jacobs, and then he's got a mandatory with Jermall. Canelo won't fight Andrade. Andrade needs to target the Saunders/Lemieux winner. Hopefully Lemieux wins because he's with HBO. Although I could see him fighting Canelo then. Hopefully his contract with HBO presents a couple of opportunities for him.
