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

Damn.

This will be Andrade’s toughest opponent to date.

Said no one ever.

Andrade continues his career-long stretch of never fighting quality opposition.

Williams is top 10

[DJrabit]

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.

I’ll be watching

Hey Williams is in the top 10 in the 160. So not knocking this fight

He’s there by default, not by beating anyone of note. Canelo, Saunders, Jacobs, Lemiuex and Eubank Jr left, so they needed to bring up a couple of no names to the top 10.

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.

Ffs, this has been a problem in boxing for too long.

Boxer's like them need to understand that boxer's like Canelo PBF Pac got to the top of the sport by taking on stiff competition.

He’s there by default, not by beating anyone of note. Canelo, Saunders, Jacobs, Lemiuex and Eubank Jr left, so they needed II to bring up a couple of no names to the top 10.

If that’s the case then he would still be among the best of who’s left at 160.

nope!

Patrick wojcicki...

I Love GGG, another guy that was ducked until he lost a step.

That said...absolutely yes, Golovkin is avoiding Andreade and so is Saunders and everyone else at DAZN.

DAZN doesn't know what to do with him because their entire stable from 160-168 has refused to fight him! GGG and Saunders just turned him down in the last 4-6 weeks... Saunders wanted more money even though Andrade was willing to take less then the fight for Williams and GGG flat out refused AGAIN. DAZN should have restructured the GGG contract so he had no choice but to accept Andrade (or any other opponent they chose) but obviously they didn't. You would think they would have learned after the Canelo contract but apparently not.

Even Jermell Charlo just put out a video last week saying Andrade is being blacklisted intentionally and neither Charlo will ever fight him... Including that fact the the entire world knows Jermall Charlo turned down close to 7 million dollars to fight him already!

SO YES GGG AND EVERYONE ELSE IS ABSOLUTELY AVOIDING DEMETRIUS ANDRADE !!

This is the type of fight that should be in the UK, and I'm talking from Andrade point of view too. These guys aren't going to draw flies in America. Well, maybe not that bad, but they back their guys over there and Andrade has the skills to prevail. Go get those pounds or Euros or whatever they got.

[champion4ever]

I wonder why this guy is so avoided? Andrade is never in a good fight. He is so boring.
