This guy is so full of **** he just ducked derevychenko . He' said he was gonna stay active 2018 but no look golovkin canelo already have a fight for may. Charlo is mandatory for ggg . EUBANK is gonna unify with groves . Hurd Is gonna unify with Lara . Crawford has a title shot against horn and possibly face pac after wards. Wilder is gonna fight ortiz a true killer. Joshua unyfying against Parker. It seems that every boxer out there Is making their mark in history and putting in work to prove they are the best. Mean while andrade is just on twitter and doing interviews in boxing scene saying that he's the best . He ducked charlo because he priced himself out. They had offered 300,000 he said he felt he deserved more. The dude actually thinks he ppv material when in reality no casual knows who the hell Demetrius Andrade is. Hell people know charlo more than they know andrade . Andrade had a chance to fight derevychenko to fight for the ibf spot . He could of proven himself right there. But no he bitched out again.I'm tired of hearing people say that andrade is one of the best middleweights bull****. He's had one fight at 160 against a prospect he couldn't ko fox. Heck I even rate david lemieux higher than andrade. Today. Andrade just thinks that they are gonna give him the canelo or ggg fight.by him just sitting their fighting once a year fighting low quality fringe contenders. Th day if ggg or canelo offer him the fight he's gonna ***** out cuz they'll offer him low amount of money. He'll ***** out
This is what happens with too many American fighters when their careers are built upon the crest of their promotions rather then their actual boxing ability. That isn't even taking into account terrible decisions many are getting in their early years in order to avoid defeats, e.g. Hooker v Perez. If you're not tasting defeat when you need/deserve to, you're never going to learn from it.
He seems to have an inflated opinion about his value, but he's not the first fighter with that problem, that's probably why he fights once a year.
Has there been a boo boo sighting? I haven’t heard or seen him since he went into protective custody.
Definitely needs to get some work in. If he'd just max out his contracts staying busy, even in lower paying fights, he might get that Showtime/HBO deal, and if he managed to work into a mandatory or win an interim belt, he could force a purse split of 25/30%. Instant 600k. But he's got to get back in the ring
Actually, he could beat Derevyanchenko as well... You know, they say “a good big man will always beat a good little man“. So, it's a shame he's such a diva. @james5000 said it right — Andrade's great potential but no heart.
His career trajectory has been infuriating. He just wants to call out big name fighters now realising that he offers literally nothing because he doesn't stay active and build his own name. I'm saying this as someone who DOES believe hes extremely talented, but fighting once a year isn't going to get it done.
