This is the 3rd mandatory defense in a row the WBO has ordered Saunders to make in less than one calendar year. Meanwhile, Adonis Stevenson hasn't made a mandatory defense in almost 5 years.
AS fought Badou Jack in May, that was his mandatory.
Billy Joe will lose this one. I don't see him figuring out Andrade who's like a big Terence Crawford, crafty, fast & packs decent power. BJS went da distance with Willie Monroe, WHO?! Looked like **** vs. Artur Akavov, WHO?! Andrade was inactive cuz Pelullo & DeGuardia sued Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports for $20 million plus punitive damages in New York Supreme Court, alleging that Roc Nation Sports executives interfered with their exclusive promotional contract with Andrade by promising to sign him after negotiating a buyout of his deal with Banner Promotions and Star Boxing. According to da suit, when Andrade was going to accept da Showtime deal Pelullo & DeGuardia negotiated on his behalf, Roc Nation executives promised to pay him $550,000 to refuse to participate in da Charlo bout, & Andrade rejected da Showtime deal.
