Andrade never, ever fights anybody good and everybody always makes excuses for him. Ridiculous.
I'm not sure people make excuses for him. He's not a star in the sport so he can't just fight whoever he wants whenever he wants. He's also too high risk/ low reward for the bigger names so he is stuck in no man's land with his title on DAZN.
How is this anything but Andrade's fault? They agreed to fight 200 pound fatso whatever his name is and suddenly they are forced to pick a new opponent with a month to go. Does anyone really think anyone of value is going to be ready in a month's time? Does anyone really think Andrade would be willing to fight a true legit top name with a month to train and study? A month is a long time if you are already there weight wise but for someone who only has a month to train and has been sitting around playing xbox Thor-ing it up....
That's what makes it so sad! It's bad enough when there are promotional roadblocks, but in this case, Andrade, GGG, and Saunders, are all under MatchRoom, and fight on DAZN! What their excuses? If I'm Madrimov, I would jump at the opportunity to fight Andrade for a title @ 160, rather than wait for the WBA to force the issue to get me a title shot @ 154!
It's a fight that COULD be made, but you're right, they won't! Seeing as how the WBA has 3 Champions (Charlo, Lara, and Soro) @ 154, and Madrimov is WBA #1, who does Madrimov fight next?
Ballard would be better than Dusty... who for some reason can't even make super middle. Weird.
Super surprised Dusty was over 200. Andrade deserves a true test. Its effed up. Too many fighters in his class to not be able to get a great fight. I for one thinks he has talent
