Comments Thread For: A Year Later, Demetrius Andrade Remains Odd Middleweight Out

[Sledgeweather17]

I need a link with unequivocal proof.

I vaguely remember reading an article before once I googled what you said. I think it was the same one that came up. I believe there's information that gets omitted from the Jermell fight but he definitely was incorrectly advised by Roc Nation.

But it seems because of that scenario people want to believe Andrade just pulls out of fights on the regular. Same thing with the Derevyanchenko situation. That stigma is probably why he took the BJS fight on a yr layoff when in an ideal situation he probably wouldn't.

To the point though: Andrade denied what you're saying in the article I read. Ya'll can't automatically just believe 1 side because Andrade pulled out of that 1 fight yrs ago & spread information like that. Unless again you have unequivocal proof.

Dude just recently, after Mayweather retired and vacated the wba and wbc belts at 154, The wbc ordered Jermell Charlo vs that Jackson or Johnson guy, forgot his name, for the wbc title. Then they ordered Andrade to fight Nelson as an eliminator to become mandatory for the winner of that fight.

Jermell won and became wbc champion, and Andrade beat Nelson and become mandatory.

When you win a vacant title, as per the wbc rules you get two consecutive mandatory defenses in order to legitimise the title.

Those mandatories for Jermell Charlo were Charles Hatley and Demetrius Andrade in that order.

Jermell fought and knocked out Hatley, and was set to fight Andrade next.

Andrade pulled out and decided to fight Jack Culcay for the regular WBA title.

At the time, Lara called him out and said he wanted to put his wba super title on the line. Andrade had an interview after that where he said he would only fight Lara as a last resort (literally, he said that, out his own mouth, I watched the interview). Then, in the same interview, he said he was looking forward to fighting a great champion like Jack Culcay.

So in that moment, he had ducked both Lara and Jermell, for the second time, because he had ducked them already before when he was offered the fights back when he was still wbo champion.

So he beat Jack Culcay and became regular WBA champion, which of course meant that he was Lara's mandatory Challenger.

Some months later the WBA made an announcement that it was going to order the fight between Lara and Andrade in September.

Soon after that announcement, Andrade announced that he was vacating the regular wba belt and moving up to Middleweight.

That is the truth. I followed Andrade's career meticulously because I wanted to adopt him as my favorite fighter when Mayweather retired, but the more I paid attention to him the more I realised what a fraud he is.

Even at Middleweight, soon after moving up, he was ordered by the IBF to fight Derevyanchenko for an eliminator and chickened out. I think he made an excuse about going to see his grandparents or something.

Andrade is a fraud bro. It's so sad because he has so much talent.

This chickensht can blame only himself for being a nobody while having a belt.
Demetrius Andrade vs. Sergiy Derevyanchenko possible for Daniel Jacobs card on April.28 of 2018

Oh yeah almost forgot about that duck move

[Sledgeweather17]

I don't get it people criticise Golovkin's opponents even though he's fought the biggest names in the division, but then speak of Andrade like he's the boogie man even though Vanes nearly knocked him out. Double standards much?

GGG was ordered by the IBF to fight Derevyanchenko and ducked, choosing to get stripped so that he can fight Vanes.

GGG was ordered by the WBC to fight Charlo for a guaranteed shot at Canelo, he ducked and went MIA.

Then he returned and was offered a shot at Andrade's title and chose to fight Rolls.

But you out here asking why everyone hating on him? Smh.

2015:


Again in 2017:

"I'd like to face Demetrius Andrade, who talks too much. But to tell you the truth, at the moment he doesn't want to face me. He is asking for a lot of money, an amount of money that he does not deserve. If we finally don't reach any type of agreement with Andrade, then we will be looking at Jarrett Hurd, the International Boxing Federation champion. I still have two more fights left in 2017. One of them will be against someone important," Lara said.

That seems to be the Perception, I don't know if it is true or not but the perception is that he has indeed been offered some BIG FIGHTS but him, his dad or whoever start having all these Demands and start asking for a lot of money when good fights are offered

Of course Andrade should be compensated well for bigger fights absolutely but at this point in his career you might have to take a Sh#t Deal just so that you can get on that big stage so the world can finally see just how talented you are

[Sledgeweather17]

In boxing talent goes unnoticed if not promoted properly. This shìt is truly sad. When I 1st got put on to this guy my eyes popped outta my head, I couldn't believe the people that were being promoted & put over him as if they were better.

If Andrade doesn't do something quick he's gonna be one of those fighters who only gets his just due & loved AFTER his career.


It comes to my mind often that a bunch of people who don't know shìt or discredited him are gonna be talking about damn he really was the best when his career is pretty much over smh.


If he was sweet they woulda took that sweet "0" long time ago. We know his difficulty making fights of what's been made public. But I can just imagine the hell it is behind the scenes.. this dude is the most avoided fighter in boxing & it ain't even close.

Maybe now he is the most avoided, but that wasn't always the case.

He ducked Lara three times and Jermell Charlo twice, so you can't really say he is the most avoided ever.

At middleweight however he is the most avoided.

[Shadoww702]

Thats been his whole career not just with DAZN. His defining W is probably still that Vanes win. Granted just like with GGG some of his biggest fights that didnt happen arent his fault alone, but he has f#cked up more big fights than GGG did when he was in a similar spot.

They need to get back that BJS fight & whoever wins that should be in line for Canelo for real. Or fight someone with some clout & respect to bump him up to worthy Canelo opponent.

As usual always making sense... Keep it up

[Removed Now]

If i was him i would just keep the title and box undefeated until he gets closer to 40-0 and then people will start to notice his name and demand GGG or canelo tonight him.

He's a good talent.

I want one also. Some other clown is saying Canelo was offered an ADDITIONAL $5 million to fight Andrade over anyone else??? WTF is he SMOKING??? It was $5 million LESS because they knew Andrade would want at least $11 mill plus! He has almost zero fans. Just recently LOST a cheap @ss bid and had to fight in Germany!!!!

[Shadoww702]

LMAO. Canelo was offered $5,000,000 MORE to fight Andrade than Dervenchencko NOT Less. Where do you get this ****

BSht!!!! I read that sht. Never fkn EVER heard more you lying Kunt! Why would he be offered more??? Damn you dumb!
