Will Andrade fight Jacobs in 2018?

[Bobby Shaw]

I wouldn't say he's shot, but its certainly not good for younger fighters to be on the sidelines as much as he is.

I think too many young cats true ceilings are NEVER reached cuz of this bs. And its more often than not promoters steering guys too safety, but with Andrade specifically I think he's effed up a few fights personally.

Maybe thats just me being biased against the guy doe cuz as stated I think he's not the brightest mfer around doe idk.

Andrade was skillful no doubt and i actually thought he coukd rise pound for pound but the performance gragh dips if you stay away like he did. Your reflexes might never be the same and his are gone. An injury is better than staying on the sidelines because with an injury the physios will get you firing.

Yea I agree.

That iron sharpens iron thing is true in the gym, but its true in your opposition in real fights to. If you fight bs fights & max out at fringe contenders instead of the top ten guys or your fellow title holders your ceiling naturally gets lowered.

I can't prove that, but I believe it.

Real question is why is Jacobs not calling out Andrade?

I don't think you should call out guys beneath you as a rule. You should call out guys above you & when you are on top you shouldn't call out anyone. Assuming you call anyone out at all cuz plenty of mfers don't even play that game to start with & fair play to them.

But I don't think calling out people in general shows or doesn't show much anyway. Plenty of guys just LOVE to say people's names & it means lil to nothing.

Dig Mikey Garcia, but that mfer has thrown out everyone's name within 2 or 3 divisions of him worth fighting now I think. What was all that talk good for? Nothing so far thats obvious.

He doesn't have to call him out openly per se.
They're both HBO guys now. He can do it quietly.
I'm sure Nelson would love to make that fight happen.
Point is Andrade is a good name.
Far more attractive and lucrative than Arias-level fights.

No they won't. There will be no fights between them 2 and Charlo. Yet they'll all act like entitled b**** saying they deserve their big shot

Sad that these clowns, Lara, Andrade, one of the Charlo bros never got to fight each other after all these years.
Lara actually called out the Quillin/Jacobs winner.
Jacobs won and we never heard from Lara again.

Maybe he did. Maybe Andrade was being a ****** again.

I legit got 0 faith in Andrade making +EV career decisions for himself & I got 0 faith if offered Jacobs he'd accept in the first place for some weird a$$ reasons. He's Kirkland 2.0.

[boliodogs]

No. The fight is too logical and makes too much sense. Jemall also won't fight either of them. In fairness to Jacobs he is set to face a very good opponent next so he is trying to prove he is the best and deserves big fights. Saunders apparently wanted no part of Jacobs.
