Andrade has fought only three times in the last three years of his career. For a fighter with his kind of talent, it’s disappointing to see him not taking advantage of his talent by fighting.

Demetrius Andrade vs. Dario Fabian Pucheta tonight

andrade5By Allan Fox: Former WBO light middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade (21-0, 14 KOs) will be fighting for the first time tonight in over a year when he faces twice beaten Dario Fabian “El Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 KOs) in a 10 round fight at the Mohegan Sun Casino, in Uncasville, Connecticut.

The vacant WBO International junior middleweight title will be on the line tonight in the Andrade-Pucheta fight. The fact that the WBO strap is on the line suggests that Andrade could be targeting newly crowned WBO junior middleweight champion Liam Smith, who recently defeated American John Thompson last weekend in beating him by a 7th round knockout.

Demetrius Andrade wants unification fight against Erislandy Lara

Providence, RI (March 2, 2015)–After WBO number-one ranked Jr. Middleweight, Jermell Charlo decided to not fight fight WBO Jr. Middleweight champion Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade, Andrade’s father/trainer Paul has turned his attention to a fight with WBA belt holder Erislandy Lara.

“We signed a contract to fight Charlo a month ago,” said Paul Andrade. “He opted to fight a guy that we beat already in Vanes Martiroysan. I don’t even think Charlo will beat him. I can see Vanes out bullying him and win a decision about eight rounds to four.”

Demetrius Andrade vs. Canelo Alvarez: When trash talking crosses the line

canelo678By Jermill Pennington: Yesterday I had an article posted that had Demetrius Andrade (21-0 14ko) the current WBO super welterweight champion tearing in to Canelo Alvarez for choosing to fight James Kirkland this coming May. Andrade went on a tirade when asked about the current situation with Alvarez’s choice of Kirkland for his upcoming fighting calling Alvarez a “b!+@&” several times. Andrade in my estimation seemed to be doing a bit more then trash talking, these assertions made towards Alvarez seemed to have a personal undertone to them.

To be clear I am one who loves trash talk, especially in a sport where two mean punch each other for 36 minutes. However I do believe there’s a line you can cross that separates talking trash in a sportsman like fashion to insulting a man personally. It was said that Ali crossed the line leading in to the first fight with Frazier calling him ugly and a gorilla. Frazier seemed to be scared by those comments to the point that he seemed to take pride in Ali’s current condition once saying on camera “look what I did to him”.

Andrade went on to point out how Kirkland has been out of action since December of 2013 and has no belt to offer.

Andrade who is available for the May date and is a guy in the division that has a belt and had this to say “I usually don’t say this about fighters but Canelo you’s a b!+@$”. Andrade went on to call Canelo out of his name several times as well as the Charlo brothers calling them bums “jamell, jamal, whichever one of them bums”.
