Comments Thread For: Andrade-Williams: Terms Reached For WBO Middleweight Title Fight, Avoid Purse Bid

[Apollo7]

It's good for Andrade to get back in the ring and taking care of Mandatory obligations is also a good thing. If he can't get a big fight after this one though, maybe he should move up and try to get that mandatory shot at the WBO 168 title.

Another fight nobody wants to see but not Andrade's fault. He wants Golovkin and Charlo at middleweight and Canelo at super middleweight. He would be competitive, win or lose.

Demetrius Andrade and Liam Williams are finally set to take their rivalry to the ring. Terms have been reached for Providence's Andrade to defend his WBO middleweight title versus Wales' Williams, thus avoiding a purse bid hearing which was scheduled for Wednesday in Cardiff, Wales.

I know this isn’t the matchup that Andrade was hoping for but all he can do is win impressively against the best available guy (who happens to be his mandatory) until he gets another elite opponent (Billy Joe Saunders ruined his first opportunity)

So I guess Golovkin will be fighting Esquiva Falcao next?

Maybe Yamaguchi....

Why's Charlo ducking him?

Andrade publicly states people are ducking him all the while he's privately turned down fights with Lara and Charlo years ago...

Demetrius Andrade may be too good for his own good.

He fights at a very, very long distance, He can box, has good timing, moves and he never gets caught on the ropes. Andrade's inside game gets ignored even when he beats a good inside counter puncher like Maciej Sulęcki...inside...counter-punching.

In the end, Andrade may not be as diverse as Canelo but his size, style and strengths are poison for Canelo and THAT is way he's never on the list.

That's been debunked about 7,000 times, move on.

It's pretty telling that he still hasnt fought anyone of substance since fighting on DAZN. Is GGG and everyone on that platform ducking him too?

Why's Charlo ducking him?

Because Demetrius Andrade is a massive risk and a loss to Demetrius would knock Charlo off the Canelo list.

Frankly a bad night for either guy will certainly exclude them from the Canelo lotto. Nobody in their right mind wants to fight two killers and if you can avoid one without actually fighting all the better.
