Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade-Liam Williams Probable For February In Providence, Says Hearn

Andrade needs to get off DAZN.

Easy work for Andrade

Yawn.

Better than Dusty Harrison, but still not a real quality opponent.

I guess it depends on how we define quality opponent. Is it by popularity? Skill? Resume?

Some people put fighters into two categories: P4P and “bum”.

For Andrade I think the Liam Williams fight is a step up from Luke Keeler and Dusty Harrison and all he can do is be dominant like we would expect guys like Canelo to be against that level of competition

The boy got talent. I actually met him before at an GGG fight. We will not see him in a major fight until he takes a risky fight with the deck stacked against him. Basically like him fighting at 168 or 175.

As you said before, "high risk and low reward". His career has sputtered with inactivity for various reasons. Fighting infrequently, awkward boxing style, limited fan base and being a dangerous opponent prevents him from developing buzz and getting those marquee matchups. The juice simply isn't worth the squeeze.

High risk low reward.

The reward is literally a world title lol

Hey I hear you, but how do you make another fighter fight you ?, Boo Boo is a class act but he's never goner get a good dance partner because he to good end of subject. That's how it is today these punk ass fighter call them self champs ?, but won't fight the best or challenge them self unless it's for mega pay days.

The fact that Demetrius is 32 years old and never fought a legit world champion is CRAZY. Let me put it down like this. Canelo is 2 years younger and has fought 15 champions. Charlo vs Andrade is the fight to make for 21.

You got that wrong there buddy, Canelo needs to fight either Boo Boo or Charlo, let him choose he's ducking both .

What’s up with Andrade? The guy is clearly very talented but he doesn’t seem to be in any good fights? Is it that he has a tricky style and not that well known?

Bingo, you nailed. It's because of his style, he's like Terence Bud Crawford ,know one wants to fight him coz you can't beat him ATM in my opinion that is..
