Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade-Liam Williams Middleweight Title Fight Re-Ordered By WBO

[Themanager]

What happened to jumping up to 168 and fighting for the title there? I dont know about Liam Williams but it's not a name. However if Andrade wants to really make big fights then he should become the mandatory for Saunders. If he wins that fight then Canelo is there. Both Saunders and Andrade are promoted by Hearn so this should be no problem. What is this guy waiting on?

They won’t let him ! Of course he wants to fight Saunders. He offered to fight Saunders for the same money ! AND Vacate if he could be guaranteed to fight Saunders. It’s not Andrade turning down the Saunders fight and it’s not even Saunders at this point it’s because Their promoters are too busy trying to keep Canelo with DAZN and serve him Saunders in May ! Canelo wants Saunders to stay away from Andrade because Canelo wants to fight Saunders in May NOT Andrade for the 168lb belt !! It’s all about Canelo as always.

Andrade wants no part of Williams.
He would rather get beat for more money against Saunders. Fox went 12 with Andrade and Williams completly manhandled Fox by K.O. Way too risky doubt he takes the fight.

That’s only because Fox got hit with one left hand from Andrade and ran all night long after he got hurt . Lol. If Fox stood and traded with Andrade like he tried to do with Williams he would have been stopped by Andrade too. Watch the fight. First round first left hand. Fox was hurt bad and ran non stop. It means nothing regarding Andrade and Williams fighting.

Eh, I don't see this as being much better than Sulecki.

Your right !! It will end the same way.

But it was Sulecki that gave Jacobs all he wanted ! And Akavov that Saunders barely beat by split decision. Yet Andrade dominates every round except 1 Round against them both and he hasn’t fought anyone. Lol.

You rated Sulecki didn’t you? I was never keen on him tbh, just thought he was basic and only really had volume as an asset. Never really viewed him as a legit contender.

I rate Williams, I think he’s definitely top 10 at 160. I think he has a style that could cause Andrade problems too. I never felt Sulecki posed any threat to him cause he weren’t gonna outpoint him and he couldn’t really punch.

Yeah, Sulecki even now is like a top 10 guy. That was a good win Andrade doesn't get credit for. Williams will be another win he won't get credit for.

Williams will lose by wide UD unless Andrade totally underestimates him.

Andrade is an excellent fighter. But has the most trash defenses in recent memory

I don’t view that as a good win tbh man, I just don’t rate Sulecki, I remember the guy nearly getting stopped by Rosado and to me he just looks like C level dude.

He probably is of 10-15 range at 160 cause the division ain’t very deep but I don’t think he’s a legitimate threat to any of the top middleweights.

[Mayweatherducks]

These dudes are going to duck Andrade forever. I’m tired of this shipt. Then Charla Sisters 👯*♀️, Saunders, Canelo all stay ducking.

[wildman]

Another routine fight for Andrade.

Congratulations to @WorldBoxingOrg 168 lbs Champ Billy Joe Saunders. WBO is waiting for @EddieHearn to advise within 10 days if he will face Canelo or Andrade next. If he doesn’t face either one, we will order to face mandatory challenger designated by Championship Committee.

This was on the 4th of Dec 2020. The 10 days is up. If the WBO is calling for the mandatory, then it looks like Saunders and Andrade aren't getting it on.

But if they can work something out in time for them to fight, Andrade will have to drop that title if he moves up. They can't keep Williams hanging around.
