By Jim Dower: Unbeaten WBO junior middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade (21-0, 14 KOs) will be back in action on December 6th or 13th in a fight on Showtime rather than HBO, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN.

WBO orders Demetrius Andrade vs. Matt Korobov for vacant WBO 160lb title
By Scott Gilfoid: Well, it looks like #2 WBO Billy Joe Saunders (20-0, 11 KOs) is out of luck as far as him fighting for the vacant WBO middleweight crown. The World Boxing Organization committee has ordered a fight between Demetrius Andrade and #1 WBO Matt Korobov (24-0, 14 KOs) for the vacant WBO 160 pound title rather than letting Saunders get a shot at the crown.
Andrade applied this past week to be the WBO to be mandatory for the vacant WBO middleweight title, and the WBO granted his request.
Demetrius Andrade would be too much for Canelo Alvarez, says Paul A.
Philadelphia (September 10, 2014)– In recent weeks, Former Jr. Middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez (44-1-1, 31 KO’s) and his team at Golden Boy Promotions have been going over potential opponents for Canelo’s expected return to the ring this fall.
Three names that are allegedly on a short list include undefeated current WBO Jr. Middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade (21-0, 14 KO’s), former Welterweight champion Joshua Clottey and James Kirkland.
Demetrius Andrade puts in petition for shot at the WBO vacant middleweight title
By Cameron Gillon: WBO Middleweight world champion Demetrius Andrade has put in a petition on behalf of himself to get a shot at the vacant WBO middleweight title that was recently vacated by Peter Quillin.
Andrade is one of many big up and coming prospects in the boxing world and has recently been calling out all the top 154 light middleweight fighters like Saul Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara but it seems to be that neither are going to take the fight against Andrade.
Canelo’s options for December: Andrade, Kirkland and Clottey
By D.A: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (44-1-1 31 KOs) has revealed his other 2 options for December other than James Kirkland, according to Univision Deportes and Vanguardia.mx. The other two are WBO 154 champion Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0 14 KOs) and Joshua Clottey (38-4-0-1 22 KOs).
There was rumors of Andrade squaring off against Clottey next but there hasn’t been any confirmation nor any other signs pointing to that fight getting made.
Andrade a former US Olympian is in his physical prime and is coming off a brutal stoppage win over England’s Brian Rose. Clottey is coming off a win over Australian Anthony Mundine. I’m sure fans would definitely be more interested in Canelo fighting Andrade rather than Clottey simply because Andrade seems like he’d pose more of a threat than an aging Clottey.
Erislandy Lara vs. Demetrius Andrade, who wins if this fight is made?
By DA: Weeks after Erislandy Lara (19-2-2 12 KOs) suffered his first legitimate defeat, he gets a tweet from another 154 strap holder Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0 14 KOs) challenging him to a unification bout.
Lara holds the WBA “regular” 154 pound title while Andrade holds the WBO 154 pound title. If you ask me this fight is very intriguing because of the similarities this two share together.
One being they’re both southpaws and another would be their ability to potshot accurately. Differences come down to hand speed, power and defense. Andrade is a tall lengthy guy standing at 6’1 with decent hand speed and decent power.
Demetrius Andrade still hoping to get Canelo or Lara fight
By Dan Ambrose: WBO junior middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade (21-0, 14 KO’s) is hoping that former WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez or Erislandy Lara (19-2-2, 12 KO’s) will step up to face him now that the two fighters have settled their differences in their recent bouts.
Andrade wants Golden Boy Promotions president Oscar De La Hoya to match Canelo up against him next. Andrade will put his WBO 154 pound title on the line so that the 24-year-old Canelo will have a chance to capture the belt if that’s what he wants.
