“November 19, it’s me again,” said WBO middleweight champion Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade. “Jason Quigley, world rated, good amateur pedigree, decent skills, comes to fight, and hats off to him, he’s actually willing to step in the ring with me, which you can’t say for any of these other so-called top guys. On November 19 though I show him that there are levels to this game.
“Just keep winning, that’s all I can do. Go in there, handle my business, do my job, look sensational, come out healthy and then it’s onto the next. If you have a belt at 160 or 168 lbs, let’s go. Put the politics aside, have your people call Eddie. Let’s get down to business.
“Charlo, stop running your mouth, making up excuse after excuse. You’re a fighter, let’s fight bro. GGG, where you at? Unify against Murata and then let’s put the three belts on the line next year.
“Canelo you going to run up to 175? Cool, I can meet you there, no problem. First things first though, I need to go out on November 19, defend my championship belt, and put on a spectacular performance, and that’s exactly what I plan on doing.”
Since when have you ever put on a good performance?
He ALWAYS puts on a good performance, a great performance but a super boring performance.
I AGREE WITH BOO BOO…THESE SO CALLED CHAMPIONS ARE DUCKING HIM AND THAT’S A FACT… NOW HE MAY HAVE NOT PUT ON THE BEST PERFORM EST BUT THAT’S NO REASON AT ALL FOR CHARLO AND THE REST OF THEM TO BE DUCKING HIM… THESE OTHER GUYS ARE NOTHING BUT SISSY’S AND THAT’S ALL THEY ARE… CHAMPIONS HUH? BULLSHIT CHARLO OR HOWEVER YOU SPELL HIS NAME IS CHICKEN RIGHT OUT AND SO IS THAT OTHER CLOWN BOO BOO MENTIONED… HEY BOYS GROW A PAIR… YOU’RE BEING EMBARRASSED HERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA… TALKING ALL THAT BULLSHIT ONLINE… THESE SO CALLED CHAMPIONS WOULD WIND UP BEING SOMEBODY’S GIRLFRIEND IN JAIL… AND THIS IS CHIPPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
There is no money in fighting him. Why would any champion fight him?
To prove they’re champions, that’s why!
Juan you can forget these so called champions trying to act like champions… That’s not going to happen… Today it’s all about money.. It has nothing to do about boxing anymore… Back in the 70’s and 80’s they fought each other.. They actually wanted to be the best and beat the best… Note sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns.. These guys were real champions they fought everybody and ducked no one… While i understand the financial part of it but how can you still say you are champion and not fight the best… A lot of these so called champions walk around with belts that are tarnished
Why are you worried about THEIR MONEY?! Not like you’re paying them or getting a cut??
I AGREE PETE… I WAS JUST SAYING IS ALL
Andrade is not that exciting to watch.
– Yes / No ?
It doesn’t matter how exciting a fighter he’s, he’s definitely better than the guys Charlo & Canelo has been fighting. So he definitely deserves a shot.
Wow Andrade is better then the champions Canelo had been fighting? Lmao
The answer to your question is….YES, Andrade is 10-20 times better than the champions Canelo has been fighting…..which is why Canelo will NEVER fight him.
“It doesn’t matter how exciting a fighter he’s”
– Matters to me.
This guy is boring and talks too much.. Andrade was offered a fight with Charlo at 54 and ANDRADE declined. He needs to quit fighting Quiglys of the world and earn it.. I acknowledge that he appears to have good skills.
Omg. And he is fighting Quigley? Lmao Canelo told him, you fight with nobody bro!!
Canelo gets credit for using the franchise title to avoid his mandatory Jermall Charlo but fights Avni Yildirim his other mandatory and no one cares that he was coming fresh off a loss but Andrade has been calling all theses champs out for years. Not saying he wins but his style will give them problems in my opinion.
Bro Andrade is not CANELO!! The same rules don’t apply to the lower tier fighters and champions. Canelo brings in the money. Andrade does not. What else do you want to know. They give Canelo special treatment because is probably pound for pound the best plus he only fights CHAMPIONS. Again what else do you want to know??
If the people come to see Canelo then why worry about who he fights?
Canelo gets special treatment and favorable scoring/decisions because he brings in the money from Mexican “AMERICAN” fans!
The powers that be can’t afford to have him loose. He had 2 very close calls (losses in my and many boxing analysts opinions) against triple G, his handlers will NEVER allow him to fight another dangerous opponent.
Unfortunately I think Andrade might be destined to be one of those guys who is, legitimately, a really good fighter, but goes through his entire career, or his entire prime, without getting to fight another really good/great fighter. And it’s REALLY bad because, I think Charlo might be one of those guys as well. Andrade’s 34 next February and he’s running out of time to get a big name. I think he knows it too which is why he’s talking so much these days. A few years ago, you didn’t hear a thing from him.
Agree 100%, he has a boring defensive style which is too good for most champions to take a chance.
Huge fan of Andrade. he deserves a big fight. Hearn should’ve made GGG happen by now. He has string ties to Canelo as well but can’t make the fights happen. Crazy.
Hearn is powerless over Canelo and his team, his team of fraudsters and cheaters will protect him to the of his career or until they can’t squeeze anymore money out of him.
Andrade looks like a good fighter to me, not sure what some of you commentators are talking about. If he gets the right dance partner, maybe you will see a stellar performance. Don’t blame him for being who he is in the ring. So what makes Usyk different from Andrade?
Ummm maybe being the unified Cruiserweight World Champion!! Any more questions???
You can’t be this clueless!
Somebody gave him a shot at those titles he won.
What Lucie said.
Usyk got an opportunity and took advantage of it. He won the tournament and it earned him a lot of respect and popularity.
What make Usyk different………..2012 Olympic Gold medal recipient Undisputed Cruiserweight champion and current Unified Heavyweight champion. A master tactician in the ring, allows his performance in the ring to define his mastery of the pugilistic art not his mouth outside it.
Andrade would be a hard fight for any of the current champions. Andrade is very awkward and would be a headache too anyone he fights. Andrade has the tools to beat any current champion. They won’t fight him because they know the risk.
I laugh at everyone who says he’s boring and beatable! Well I have a couple of suggestions; First and foremost, don’t watch him if you feel he’s that boring. No skin off your nose right?! As for ALL of these chumps that say he’s beatable, well then fight him and take his belts? If it’s that easy! Truth be told, he’s very talented and slippery and most if not all of the top guys are not going to look great fighting him!!
Agreed. He’s a better opponent than a lot of dudes that get big fights. He’s not always the most aesthetically pleasing fighter, but he usually gets the job done. And frankly, I’ll always support a fighter who’s willing to step up. Inactivity is the worst crime you can commit, in my view.
Easy not to watch him. He tends to only fight once a year. 13 fights over the last 9 years. He is on the Gary Russell schedule. He has no appeal, brings no money, has no big promoter, rarely fights.
Bingo. Nailed it.
I think that is singular, “belt”, as in current WBO Middleweight champion. Are the other champions scared? Does Andrade price himself out of fights? Is his management team and promoter doing a suck ass job? Until Andrade can bring the $$$ he will be stuck fighting the top 10 WBO MW or up and coming contenders.
That’s the problem!
Boxing fans find him boring and beatable and that’s why there is no demand for him to be in a big fight.
If there was a demand the fights would be made because demand means money to the promoters and the promoters make the fights.
Unfortunately for Andrade boxing is a business so being entertaining to the fans is important. Maybe he would have been better to stay amateur.
Andrade really needs to fight someone as much as he runs his mouth, he has fought absolutely no one and claims hes being ducked, hes pathetic.
Yeah Jake Paul too , what a joke
Keeler, Sulecki, Akavov, Katundokwa, Fox, Williams, Culcay… When Jack Culcay is the most significant name on your record just stfu.
Who cares boo boo? Who cares? Make your move already. If you were in compelling fights then people would want to see you. But they dont wanna see you anymore than you actually want to fight. Keep fighting at this level a d letting them hear the final bell. One day you’ll retire, maybe even undefeated, and no one will give a shit.
I dont buy the false bravado. Its not genuine and its not a good look. Hungry fighters make it happen. Talkin shit but walkin Quigley. Oh brother!
I remember when Andrade got arrested for carrying an unlicensed gun. He told the cops he needed it because of his fame and money. LOL he should have went to the pen for lying to the cops like that
Actually that is part of his problem, he is only famous in Rhode Island and if you have to tell someone you are famous…….. are you really? That incident best describes why he is where he is in his boxing career. If you feel you need a gun for protection go about it the correct way, further more who would dare to rob him when apparently everyone is afraid of him? Unless one of the other MW Champions want to unify, I think Andrade is ass out. Look at Plant, if it weren’t for his belt and Canelo’s desire to unify all SMW belts, Plant would still be fighting for >1million per bout. Andrade could always vacate his WBO, get a mandatory ranking in one of the other organizations and force a fight with the champion.
The gun was licensed to him just not in the state he was visiting know the facts
This guy is better than people’s opinion. Fought with him in the Amatuers when he was 17 and he’s levels ahead of these guys. Call it what you want but he’s high risk low reward. If you’re going to get beat you want to at least be compensated. The top guys aren’t trying to see him.
They won’t fight him until there is money on the table. Stop talking about fighters or champions being scared; it makes you look that you know nothing about the game.. GGG is scared of him ?! What a joke, he fought Canelo 2 times at 37 and 38 he’s scared of nobody. GGG has to choose well his fights because maybe there are the last ones.. Andrade is good but not unbeatable and hasn’t fought any big name yet..
Prograis? That you? You’re the man get in there you’re the champ bud
No sorry ! I’m not Régis Prograis, i wasn’t 10% as good as he is lol ! And fought only in the amateurs !
Andrade is a very sound fighter, probably even an excellent fighter, AND, I’m sure, a lot of the current players between 154 and 168 would rather NOT fight him because he would be too difficult. BUT I’m also saying that Andrade should earn his shot either via ranking, public demand or performance. No one is clamoring for more boo boo. Andrade has fought a bunch of mid-level guys and fringe contenders. GGG fought similar level competition through much of his reign but blew them away and fought more frequently. Andrade is content to win a waltz once or twice a year at most. Sure Canelo fought Yildrim but he won the way he was supposed to: he destroyed him.
Whats the difference between Usyk and boo boo? Are you kidding me? Usyk wasted no time in doing everything to fight the very best, the top 1,2 and 3 guys in each division. His fights were/are exciting against the very best fighters. Hes a master boxer. Boo boo is a cautious, safety first fighter who bores people against C-level competition.
Should Canelo or GGG fight boo boo? Yes. Will they? Probably not. Will anyone care? Probably not. They don’t need Andrade for their legacy. If Andrade keeps on his current career path he wont have a legacy. At least not a legacy anyone will care about.
Funny how Canelo and GGG were champions at 160 but never tried to unify all the belts? Canelo only was interested in unifying 168 after David Benavidez was stripped he definitely took the easiest route.
Somebody ought to fight this guy before he has to fight Willie Nelson again.Jaime Mungia will probably have to step in and put him to bed.
Can anyone give me an unbiased answer, really, people called Mayweather a boring fighter, yet look at where he is, remember winky wright, also considered a boring fighter, so many more not mentioned… can these “boring “fighters fight or not is the question? So, I ask please let me know with FACTS why Andrade will Not win. I completely understand exciting fighters and the money they generate, which is extremely important today, I just want someone to break down why Andrade is not only a boring fighter but also NOT skilled enough to beat any of them. I get it, why risk a loss to a no venue type of guy, and that’s understandable. I just want to know if that is the reason why they avoid him..because they can possibly lose.
Andrade’s level is no way near Money’s level, he’s not bankable and people won’t even pay to see him loose like it was the case with Mayweather.
They just don’t give a fuck about him..
Andrade you are a horrible fighter (Canelo said)
A fight with both Charlos would be good.
