Ordered? Since when does a world champion in one division get ordered to fight in another division. If I were the WBO Middleweight contenders, I would be getting my attorney. What has Andrade done to have the WBO even consider him?
Andrade has paid WBO fees to get ranked and then fight for their JMW title. Champions in one division can get special treatment to attempt to move up and conquer another division while still keeping the belt they have in the lower division (although there will certainly be a WBO interim champ crowned soon). Andrade has likely paid the WBO more than those MW contenders have...
Same thing happened with Mikey Garcia. He was the champ at 126 and was able to move up and instantly fight for the 130 belt.
Who cares? Its a better fight and Sauders will get his chance in the future. This could lead to a Glovkin vs Andrade fight.
You can petition to fight for an organizations title if you hold that organizations title in a different division.
Just random point of interest, WBO has said Andrade has to drop 154 title to fight for 160 title. So WBO will have an eliminator with no need for interim.
Golovkin is being avoided by all the middleweights period. Golovkin is the best by far, he is within another class than the others. The crooked promoters will never allow their fighters to fight Golovkin, but everyone knows that GOLOVKIN is the world champion at 160 and nobody else comes close...........
