Andrade claims he will enforce WBO 168 mandatory on May 9th

[Combat Talk Radio]

The WBO has a rule that the WBO champion in a weight class can move up or down a weight class and become the immediate mandatory for the belt holder in that weight class.

Of course, but the only fight I can force is the WBO 168...Which I may do the morning after @canelo beats @bjsaunders_ https://t.co/4fxbfuqx9c

Ok but... what if Billy Juice pulls off the upset doe?

Can we then call out Andrade's smoke when he says "nevermind"?

Canelo should drop the WBO after Plant. Why should MFers like Andrade take the easy route to the payday.

Earn it Fcker

He earned it back in 2014 when he was a world champion at 154. But instead of fighting a world champion, Canelo chose to fight JAMES KIRKLAND instead.

Spare me the earn it bull****.

Also did you ever answer my question about why James Kirkland, Amir Khan, Liam Smith, JCC Jr., Rocky Fielding, Callum Smith, Kovalev "earned" fights with Canelo but Andrade didn't?

Most of those guys have some name recognition and some are at least fun to watch, boxing has nothing to do anymore with who earned what and Andrade really hasn't done all that much with his career no noteworthy wins and all.

That Liam Smith fight was the most obvious duck of the top 154 fighters in the division I've ever seen. The WBO even moved Trout out of the rankings to give Smith a shot at the title. The rest can be explained away in some form or fashion

You can explain them away, but the second you use words like "exciting," or "big money," or "promises to be a war," it's pretty clear that you're not trying to fight guys who "earned" it or "challenge yourself." If you really wanted to challenge yourself, you'd fight a guy who's really tough to hit cleanly, is a master of range and very difficult to get inside on, and has good hand speed and footwork. I'm talking about Demetrius Andrade,

Are you actually implying that Andrade is some threat to Canelo? Because if so I'd like you to present some in ring evidence as to why. His best win is probably Vanes FFS.

That's cuz nobody wants to fight him

[Satir]

Usyk will step aside because he has no choice, his own promoter threatens him to take whats on the table right now or leave it, because WBO will give their approval on Joshua-Fury anyway, with or without Usyk

Someone will want a shot at the WBO title he has mandos, maybe someone in his position shouldn't be having 1-2 fights a year and should be trying to garner some attention rather than hoping to get a lucky payday baby sitting a belt.
