Demetrius Andrade vacating his WBO title

How is it a duck?

Clearly chasing bigger money and why not?

 

Finally. He ain't getting anywhere at 160. At 168 we might actually see him fight Canelo's leftovers.

 

Just like Korobov and Derevyanchenko were called bums when they were beat.

 

Chasing a cash cow is what everyone does. No cash cow is obligated to fight someone like Booboo. NOW...this is something that should have happened at either 154 or 160, when it made more sense. I'd have loved to see it.

Guess we'll see if Andrade fights at 168 and how he looks

 

I actually agree with you in part, there are numerous more lucrative fights for Canelo than Andrade, as well as simply legacy fights, plus Andrade is all risk and no upside whatsoever.

However, this is a fight that there was no reason to not have made happen, years ago. So I get Andrade chasing it. My issue is people saying "he ducked someone". Andrade doesn't have enough clout to duck anyone. And a champ forgoing another in a long line of mandatories to chase another champ isn't a duck.

 

Makes sense Northpaw. Andrade was one of those that I was a big fan of at first. Now it's more ,"meh". It bothers me when guys do literally zilch then expect the biggest fight available

 

Truth.

 

Beating Parker will put him in a much better position.

 

Andrade is an idiot chasing a money fight that he doesnt deserve. He's not even a ducker.

 

this, what puts you in a position to claim for a money fight vs a money cow is a money worthy CV. It has nothing to do with being good, or bad. It has to do with you bringing a good money/risk ratio to the table.

And andrade is a "jjjjoooorribel fighter" (canelo voice). He just doesnt deserve that pay day, and I hope he will never get it, so that he can be a good example of what happens when you are an idiot who refuses to take risks and build a good CV, so that no other fighter does it in the future.

 

Id argue that the majority of Canals last 10 opponents have done less than Andrade.

 

money/risk ratio. Not good, bad. I repeat. If you mean risk, then you have to bring money. I'm not going to put all the money, and take all the risk. And that's NORMAL.

And you bring money by having an awesome CV, which will mean fanbase for the fight, money, and legacy for me. Then, when the money/risk ratio is good enough, we fight.

And I repeat that I totally agree with this behavior, that's perfectly normal. What I detest are the fighters refusing to build a good CV, taking no risks as the cowards they are (fear to lose, not fear of a beating, that's cowardness too), and still wanting the money fights. They make me puke.

 

Well I've never been a fan of his but there's nothing happening at middleweight, the fights he could make are not big purses and Golovkin is in semi retirement and everyone including Andrade is chasing Canelo for the big money. Knowing Canelo he might take a fight with Andrade considering the low risk involved.
