So Demetrius Andrade's Next Opponent Has Been Revealed..

[Qbox]

Pretty funny when you bag GGG for fighting Rolls and then you have to fight this Butler guy.....lol!

I just feel like Andrade and as well as Charlo are happy with the money they make currently and would be totally fine beating on the guys they're fighting for a lot of money and their reasoning for fighting these type of fighters is "Well Canelo Don't Want To Fight Me"

My Question is, what will they do if they NEVER get Canelo? Then What?

This is basically my feeling as well...they get paid basically the same I think to fight Adams/Fox etc, vs what they would get paid to fight Jacobs, BJS, or even GGG...Canelo is the only big pay raise they would have I think.

Sucks but not sure what we can do...I don't think either Charlo or Andrade really want to fight anyone besides Canelo, or lower level guys like this...just my 2 cents though...I like both and think they have at least a puncher's chance vs even someone like GGG who I rate pretty highly, but not sure what their careers will be...or even what GGG does after Dervy.

Hopefully we get some good fights.

I can't remember the last time when several big name fights/fighters ended up having an opponent I've never heard off...Fury with Schwarz and Wallin...GGG with Rolls, even Szermeta mentioned...Adams with Charlo...Butler now with Andrade.

Top 5 in a division should have to face other top 10 guys or be stripped/ranked down imo...mandatories can be tune-ups for them since we know some guys on those lists are not top 10.

Andrade isn't a puncher to have a punchers chance and Charlo, he can punch but we don't know if hes that kind of puncher.

Andrade isn't a puncher to have a punchers chance and Charlo, he can punch but we don't know if hes that kind of puncher.

Puncher's Chance – having a small chance at success; not impossible, but unlikely.

That was the definition I was using there...Andrade would have a better shot than Jermall imo...Jermall would lose almost every round unless he lands a big shot...anything can happen, it's boxing...GGG is my guy but he is getting older and Jermall can punch at least pretty well and is quick/good reflexes.

What are you talking about, this is a WBO mandatory, they are making Andrade fight fight their number 1 contender. You think the WBO are going to strip Andrade for taking the mandatory they called?

[QballLobo]

Just like I said. They won’t give him a risky fight as they’ll feed him to GGG or Canelo next year. Was always going to be a stay busy fight.

Poor bastard can't get a fight with anyone that's worth their weight in dog ****.

Trash fight, but I can't help feel justified in blaming and hating on BJS because Andrade was signed to fight him but then BJS had to be caught with PEDs in his sytem and ruin the damn fight.

In short: blame BJS, the idiot who has ducked fights his entire career or get caught with PEDs

I feel bad for the guy. It's a curse to be so talented in his case. On one hand at least he's staying active building his profile etc. But damn this ain't what the fans want. Don't blame Andrade for this tho. Blame your favorite fighters for not stepping up to the plate. Blame these garbage aśs reporters for almost never mentioning his name to the other top fighters...

What needs to be explained tho (& I doubt it will) is how is this a mandatory? Sulecki was supposedly supposed to be a mandatory before.. (& it kind of made sense because) allegedly GGG turned down the chance to fight Andrade & next in the rankings was Sulecki! The timing of the fight was also around the time that a mandatory normally comes around. .. But then this fight get ordered as a mandatory, so it doesn't make sense. As a lot of shìt in boxing..

Who knew?
