He's pro level at disappearing.

Not one fight in 5 & a half years with less than a 7mo turnaround.

WOW that it is even worse than I originally thought what a Waste

Mentioned this a few days ago. Hope the fight lands in LA and hopefully it leads to bigger thinks for Andrade. He’s the sleeper in this division.

I'm pulling for the upset.

Guys like Andrade are a drain on the sport. All the talent but no real hunger to test themselves.

Respect for fighting Culcay in Germany but this guy is the 154 Thurman.

Well that depends on if you count being ****** as an on-going injury.

I standby Andrade & Kirkland being neck & neck for the dumbest guys in boxing. And Kirkland hasn't fought in awhile so Andrade might have that title to himself now that I think about it.

I doubt big kirk will ever come back. Dont even hear about him anymore, i think hes just got good enough money to be living nicely in texas. Why the inactivity from andrade though, its not promotional is it? Met dude one time at mayweather/guerrero i was ****ing gone but i snapped a pic with him he seemed like a nice dude from what i could remember lol

Always liked Andrade as a fighter but as always when a fight is coming up, what's he going to do if/when he wins? I don't hold much hope of him doing anything significant if the last several years is any indication. Shame. He could possibly lose a fight like this if he goes in looking past his opponent. We'll see what happens. It's frustrating watching these guys not do anything while waiting for GGG/Canelo.

Edit: You know what, **** it, I'm going for the upset. Andrade has had his chances. Maybe Falcao will breathe new life and replace Andrade to get some fights made.

I don't say this a lot, but for a big network like HBO, crap fight. Andrade as you say is incredibly inactive, imo never as good as people hyped him up to be, especially now at MW, but he'll win this fight easily because Falcao sucks. Really sucks. Not only are both guys not that good, but stylistically I'm pretty certain this will be a boring ass fight. HBO should just announce GGG/Canelo 2 as their final fight and go out on a high note instead of continuing on with crap like this.

I've heard this as well. Don't know why there hasn't been an official announcement yet...

[HanzGruber]

Lol this guy is a joke

[BLASTER1]

Looks like he's fighting July 21 on HBO. He'll be fighting 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist Yamaguchi Falcao, 15-0 (7). Giant jump up in class for Falcao obviously. But Andrade has been one of the best inactive guys in the game lately, 5 fights in the last 4 years.

Is Falcao a sleeper or live dog here legitimately or cuz Andrade has one foot out of the sport with his inactivity or just another W for Andrade that'll get him nowhere which seems like his destiny?

And just personally as a dude who was/is a big fan of Javonn "Pinkie" Barnes (12-0 as a pro now, but has a completely manufactured record with 11 W's over guys with a losing record & is f#cking 35yrs old) who Andrade beat in the semifinals of the national golden gloves back in the day I'm always rooting against Andrade & also I kinda root against him cuz he's such a space cadet he makes Peter Quillin seem like the most focused mfer on the planet.

How do these guys that dont have a huge following survive only fighting like once per year?
Its not like they are getting huge amounts of money to last to their next fight.
They gotta be good with money i suppose otherwise have a second job?
