WBO orders Demetrius Andrade vs. Matt Korobov for vacant WBO 160lb title

by

andrade76666By 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.

by

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.

Canelo’s options for December: Andrade, Kirkland and Clottey

by

canelo6767By 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

lara8By 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

andrade76666By 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.

Demetrius Andrade wants Canelo’s scalp

by

andrade777By Dan Ambrose: WBO junior middleweight champion Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 KO’s) saw Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (44-1-1, 31 KOs) struggle his way to a controversial 12 round split decision over Erislandy Lara last Saturday night in their fight at middleweight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Andrade is ready to give Canelo a beating in order to add his scalp to his growing resume.

Canelo is ranked at #2 by the WBO behind Andrade’s recent knockout victim Brian Rose. Andrade is more than willing to give Canelo a shot at his title if he’s up to the task.

Demetrius Andrade: I’m the best in the world

by

andrade76666By Scott Gilfoid: After his impressive 7th round demolition job on #1 WBO Brian Rose (25-2-1, 7 KO’s) last Saturday night, WBO junior middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade (21-0, 14 KO’s) sees himself as the best fighter in the 154-pound division bar none. With the way the 6’1” Andrade looked against Rose and his previous opponent Vanes Martirosyan, it’s hard to disagree that Andrade isn’t the best guy in the division.

Erislandy Lara, the WBA junior middleweight champ, is seen by many boxing fans to be the best fighter in the 154lb division, but Andrade did a better job of beating Martirosyan than Lara did, and that kind of tells you that Andrade could be No.1.

Demetrius Andrade can be WBO champion for a long time, says Andre Ward

by

andrade777By Scott Gilfoid: Last night was WBO light middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade’s coming out party on HBO with him giving a beat down to challenger Brian Rose (25-2-1, 7 KO’s) in stopping him in 7 rounds on the undercard of the Ruslan Provodnikov vs. Chris Algieri card at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

We saw the 6’1” Andrade showcase his talents with him opening up his toolbox of weaponry and unloading on an over-matched Rose with everything he had. Credit Rose for being able to soak up sickening punishment until his corner pulled the plug on the fight in the 7th round and had it stopped at 1:19 by referee Michael Griffin.

Hearn: Brian Rose will be back

by

rose123By Scott Gilfoid: Promoter Eddie Hearn thinks that his fighter #1 WBO Brian Rose (25-2-1, 7 KO’s) will learn from his defeat at the hands of WBO junior middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade (21-0, 14 KO’s) and return back to the top in the future.

Rose was knocked down twice by Andrade last night and stopped on his feet in the 7th round in their fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Rose had talked about having earned his No.1 ranking and his title shot.

Rose had said that he wasn’t impressed with Andrade beforehand and that it was him with all the pressure on his shoulder. But unfortunately for Rose, he failed to prove that he belonged in the same ring with him.

Andrade destroys Rose

by

andrade66By Scott Gilfoid: In an embarrassingly one-sided fight from start to finish, WBO junior middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade (21-0, 14 KO’s) totally dominated the over-matched #1 WBO challenger Brian Rose (25-2-1, 7 KO’s) in stopping him in the 7th round on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

As I predicted earlier, Rose had no business being in the ring with Andrade tonight. As good as Andrade looked tonight, I wouldn’t have been surprised if he could have beaten Carl Froch and George Groves with the way he was fighting. Andrade was incredible tonight. The talent that he showed in nailing Rose at will with straight lefts. We saw a coming out party for a young star tonight. Andrade looked good enough to give Floyd Mayweather Jr, Erislandy Lara and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez all they could handle.
