    It’s the point for all of them. None of these guys are fighting for legacy.

    As one of his few supporters, this is not acceptable. At this point just call it a career and hang the trunks up smh

    No guarantee that Andrade beats Parker. I'd guess he wanted more for the risk.

    From what ive seen on Zach Parker i dont think he would have troubled him at all. Hes just another domestic level fighter imo.

    Quack! Quack!

    I was willing to give Boo Boo the benefit of the doubt for swerving Janibek, because Zach Parker is no light touch, but this is poor!

    Just retire!

    Most fighters are very reluctant to step up to Brit Level and Eurasian Level. However, Boo Boo has actually fought quite a few Brits. Three of them, in fact. Four if you want to include Irish Quigley as I include the Irish as Brit Level too. But to be fair, two of them were very light punchers with hideously low KO% and the only real Brit Level power puncher he fought Liam Williams hurt him badly and gave him a torrid nights work after the terrible start due to underrating Boo Boo's power, which I suspected he would and warned against beforehand, and fighting a super dumb fight. I think that experience left Boo Boo with lifetime psychological scars and Parker is a big and very powerful SMW with skills and power in both hands and he, like Janibek, was very high risk low reward albeit both were higher reward than all the janitors and dog trainers they've been feeding him

    Calm down, Andrade would beat Janibek easily anyway.

    He probably doesn't want to get punched in the face for a little amount of money, which is understandable.

    Might be that Andrade (treading water and getting older) sees more threat in Parker than you do. Zach definitely represents more danger than a Maciej Sulecki or a Liam Williams. Has a good chance of catching up to Boo Boo and hurting him, in my estimation.

    Can't believe I've put my faith in Andrade for so long. Get a grip, Boo Boo.

    Hes a big SMW, but he fights with his hands down too much and has little to no head movement. The only thing in his favor is that Andrade has been inactive and will be rusty. Other than that Andrade beats him clearly.

    Andrade didnt want to fight Canelo, GGG, Janibek, Saunders, Parker, Charlo and probably many more. atleast 4 of them would have brang decent money.

    guys a joker.

    Lol there was a "lone bidder ". They didn't mention that I bid $2.99 to promote the bout.
    No respect at all. Sad.

    He gave up the WBO belt. He doesn't have any leverage left.

    Parker is a nobody. Andrade has turned into a nobody. The purse bid was low, but so what? No promoter was going to bid high to stage a fight between 2 low-profile fighters.

    Andrade better get used to low paydays or no paydays at all. He just screwed over a bunch of people by pulling out and other promoters are paying attention.
