crap fight. I used to pull for guys like Andrade, hoping they could turn their career around & be more active but at this point, I've given up on him. nowadays I don't feel sorry for guys who can't manage their careers properly. it's on them if they're a non entity in boxing.
Alantez Fox is #12 on the IBF rankings. Lemieux is #4. Andrade has stated that he wants a guy like Lemieux to make his name in the division. The IBF is the one organization that actually forces mandatories. He could be aiming to have the IBF order Andrade vs Lemieux for the mandatory spot down the line. Honestly, it looks like he might be taking the route Lara should have took if he was actually interested in fighting GGG.
Just looked him up, beaten nobody of note and is less worthy than Jimmy Kelly getting a title shot against Liam Smith.
Fox is actually a decent prospect, and very tall for the division. Gotta think Andrade will be too much though. Im just glad Andrade is fighting period
Boo Boo barely got by Culcay, he knows the writings on the wall, he loses the first real test he takes. So he's doing his best to avoid any truly tough opponents like Lara, Charlo, Lubin or even Trout.
