    He chooses Yamaguchi Falcao; Olympic Bronze medalist, good fighter, but 30 years old with 15 fights and 7 KO's. Another defense-oriented, technical, boring southpaw-counterpuncher, for what's going to be an awful fight.

    Falcao is from Brazil, so maybe Andrade just wants to trash-talk somebody in Portuguese.

    Andade wins a 116-112 UD with no drama and spends the next six months screaming for a title shot.

    That's relatively early in the year, so maybe he'll have 2 fights in 2019 if he keeps this blistering pace up.
    One in february/march 2019 and another in october/november.

    I haven't seen the other dude fight. I plan to check him out but is he up to much? Or one of these middle of the road type Olympians?

    These rumors have been circulating about for a month now.
    Andrade is needed as a backup plan for Derevyanchenko if (should I say when, lol) Jacobs walks away from that fight...

    He can fight, but his style... No power, 30 punches a round, all defense. Terrible decision.

    I don't think JAcobs will take the fight either. I guess they've been sparring for a few years.

    Lara should be fighting Hurd or Jermall. Lara won on my card.

    Falcao never really delivered on the promise of his amateur glory.
    Another Audley Harrison in the making.

    This is practically a joke fight for Andrade. Sadly, the guy needs a "ring rust tune up) almost every time he steps in the ring.

    What a waste of talent. When Andrade finally retires, no one's even going to notice.
