Demetrius Andrade: Wasted Talent

[Slicc]

Andrade was a top amateur, who isn't really relevant as a pro. He beat Vanes Martirosyan for a vacant WBO title, and was supposed to defend it against Jermell Charlo in 2014, but Roc Nation Sports convinced him to pull out. They promised him $550k, but screwed him over after he pulled out, prompting him to sue them. He then put himself in a position to face Lara, by taking the WBA regular world title from Jack Culcay, yet didn't. Instead, he vacated the title and moved up to 160. So far, the only guy he fought at 160 is Alantez Fox. Sergiy Derevyanchenko wanted to fight Andrade, but the latter pulled out of negotiations due to alleged injuries, so the fight was put off until this year. The thing is, Derevy just fought some other guy, and both him and Andrade want GGG, so their fight is just up in the air now. Andrade hasn't fought at all this year. Matter of fact, at one point, he fought once a year, for 3 years.

What do you guys think about Andrade?

He’s got a terrible team around him. I think very highly of his talent, but him and his team have wasted years of his prime.

[daggum]

he's the best call out and never fight fighter ever

[bballchump11]

I laughed hard when people accused Lara of ducking him. Andrade is ducking himself

[MrClutch85]

Andrade bad promoter and manager subpar career to date.He has time left to turn things around

[RightJabLikeZab]

He's an idiot. Irrelevant. Boxing has enough fighters that I don't care that much anymore about his career.

[Illmatic94]

All I know is he doesn't deserve the GGG fight. Derevchenko is more worthy. And he's beyond delusional to accuse anybody of ducking him.
