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

[Tosaken]

GGG and Canelo obviously don't want to fight Andrade, that has been proven because both have had opportunities. These two have fought guys like Vanes M, Rolls, Amir Khan, Zafara, etc.

In the meantime, people will say Andrade's resume is weak, blah blah. I think he should fight Charlo next. If he beats him they can't continue to ignore him.

Looks like joining DAZN has done nothing for him

[Iron Fister]

same for GGG, who will not get in the ring with Andrade either

[Iron Fister]

for months the narrative has been Canelo is fighting Kovalev thats why he isnt taking on Andrade. I call BS.

Canelo either goes on a long break blaming his knee or fights Munguia next. This whole Kovalev noise is a bunch of GB suberterfuge.

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.

They don't have proof... They never do! I even offered to show them the signed contract page when Andrade signed to fight Charlo in January that year (Immediately After he realized the Jay-Z thing was bull**** in December) but nobody wants to know that.... They would rather think what they want.

As far as Lara goes, he will never get proof of that because it never happened. Andrade was NEVER offered a fight with Lara on ESPN Not ever...

[Themanager]

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

At least I know... You just make up s*** you have no clue about. Canelo was offered $30M to fight Derevyenchenko he was offered $35M for Andrade. Last I knew that's $5M more. Your the one that claims Canelo was offered less to begin with... Prove it! And not some bull**** rumor.

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.

I don’t know about Andrade being a fraud??? How can you blame him for Saunders?

[Shadoww702]

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.

100% correct. I’m gonna have to pay more attention to your comments.

[LetOutTheCage]

...yes there is. Its called HIGH risk LOW reward.
Spence went through the same thing!!

I mean he has a belt now and has the backing of Dazn, surely that makes it more of a reward

[MMA >>> BOXING]

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

stop spreading dumb ****. he was never offered 5 mil more to fight andrade. he was just willing to take less to defend his ibf but sergey wanted more so it never happened.
