By Scott Gilfoid: This Saturday night will be a special for WBO junior middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade (20-0, 13 KO’s), because it’ll be his first defense of his title against little known fighter Brian Rose (25-1-1, 7 KO’s), and the fight will televised in front of millions of American boxing fans on HBO from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Andrade, 26, doesn’t just want to beat Rose, he wants to work him over in a big way to show the fans that he doesn’t belong in the same ring with him. Andrade’s plan is to pound the 29-year-old Rose into submission.
“I’m a bad man. I’m going to whip his a**,” Andrade said in speaking about Rose. “He’s getting knocked out. Fans are going to see why none of the top guys want to fight me. I’m taking over.”
