    Hope so.

    Big fan. Don't know why he hasn't stepped it up already though.

    He should move up the list steadily, but gradually.

    Start with a fight against N'Jikam, who won several rounds against Quillin.

    Then, either Macklin or Lee. Both are tough guys, both have fan bases, but neither have the hand speed of Andrade.

    Cap the year off with a fight against Pirog and position yourself as the clear top contender in the division.

    Andrade has talent but I'd like to see him step it up some next year. 2012 was a bit of a letdown, he beat Brewer in 2011 and looked ready to start beating guys on that level or higher and then he took 3 fights this year against guys below Brewer. He's only 24 so there's plenty of time though.

    I'm not sure who he fights next I'd just like to see step his competition up again. I'd be fine if he fought someone like Vera in his next fight. 2013 would be a good year if he got atleast 4 fights in against guys at Vera's level and each fight progressively better or sideways at worse, no more no-hopers.

    I'd really like to see an Andrade-Guerrero fight next year and I'd be interested in seeeing Andrade take on Dzinizurik as well. Plenty of good fighters out there between 154-160. He just needs to be active and start facing some of them.

    Hasn't he been "about to break out" for going on 3 years now? I'm sure at least 2 of his opponents will be bums on Friday Night Fights.

    3 fights: Vera, Proksa, then either Pirog or Quillen

    or: Vera, Njikam, Mundine after he loses to Gaele

    I was very impressed with him in the 2008 Olympics. Hope to see him step up soon.

    needs to make a drastic step up in comp, he had a pretty decent showing against brewer then went back to beating on side show attractions.

    Isn't he still a JMW? He needs to get with a real promoter and stop his dad from getting so involved with managerial decisions. He was supposed to be fighting an IBF eliminator and they totally let that slip away.

    He still needs to step up his competition gradually before fighting top guys because he hasn't fought anyone who can fight back so far. I'd love to see him fight Dzinziruk, but he still needs to test himself with a couple of lesser guys like Charles Whittaker level. Hell Ronald Hearns would be big step up in competition for Boo Boo.
