Andrade says he’ll KO Quigley

WBO middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade has vowed to destroy Jason Quigley and make a big statement as he makes the fifth defense of his title on Friday night at the SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire, live worldwide on DAZN.

“I’ve been training to be destructive,” said Andrade. “Someone is going to stop this fight. Put your house on it.

“I look to give everybody a beating in a sense, to outclass them. Going in and knocking people out is cool but I also like to get rounds in and show my skill level. We just saw Canelo and Caleb Plant, it took him 11 rounds to end the fight but I’m not Caleb Plant. There’s a whole lot more in me than what Caleb showed. That’s the type of fight that I would like to get in and do though, to show my skills, my heart, my conditioning, what I am made out of.

“Anyone can get caught with a lucky punch or caught cold and fight’s over. I know KOs sell and that’s cool, but the wealthiest athlete in the sport was Floyd and he didn’t knock anyone out for a long time at the end. So, it’s funny how KOs sell, but when I get KOs I don’t get the fights. I think that they would rather fight me thinking that I don’t have power rather than having power. At the end of the day, do they want to get in the ring with me? Jason Quigley said yes.

“I have a good contract, I am making good money and at the end of the day, I can’t get frustrated and be emotionally driven as it’s out of my control, I am just focusing on me and right now that’s Jason Quigley on November 19 and I am happy for that as it’s one step closer to show people how much longer are they going to keep avoiding me, but I don’t get paid if I don’t fight so it’s not about them, it’s about me, what am I doing? How do I keep showing people that yes, Demetrius should be fighting them, and we want to see it?

“I’m excited, boxing is back in full force, the fans are back in the arena, and we’re near my hometown and we’re going to bring championship boxing to a state that’s never had it before, that’s a real honor and I am ready to get back in there and show people what I am about.

“My fight in Providence was amazing and I would love to fight there again but New Hampshire is next door so that’s cool too, it’s just a little drive for me so that’s good too!

“Jason was an Olympian, he’s 19-1 and his name was in the mix to fight Canelo at one point, so for me to step in the ring with someone they have to be good and for Canelo to consider fighting someone he must be pretty good – we’re going to do what we are going to do and that’s make quick work out of Quigley.”

  • By all means BooBoo should get the KO but he wont and we all will be put to sleep watching.

  • Someone is going to sleep and it ain’t the 2 in the ring! Boo Boo for the record of most simultaneous knock outs.

  • GTFOH! Andrade doesn’t destroy anyone he puts my ass to sleep every time he fights I doze off rather quickly with his repulsive style of fighting it’s like he’s terrified of getting hit. He should be arrested for impersonating a boxer. He makes Michael Nunn look like Arturo Gatti.

  • There are a lot of sleeping jokes here and thats great, but the real joke is he’s so boring that nobody willing to beat him and take his title. When you talk how boring he is make sure you mention he’s a top fighter nobody wants to get in the ring with too.
    Not sure why Andrade even mentions Canello. He aint getting that fight any quicker than Benavidez.

  • My goodness this is a first for me not only does this guy put me to sleep after watching a round or two of his fights but reading him yapping on and on I dozed off as well couldn’t get past the halfway point of his yapping he’s just as boring outside the ring!!

  • All of these comments make me laugh!! So how often did Floyd get a KO??!! Wanna talk snooze, yeah look at his exhibition with Paul!!

    • True, love him or hate him he laugh all the way to the bank stacking them millions! People paid for his events just hoping he would get ko and humiliated, it never happened! I never paid to watch his fights cause i watch them for free in my device! Despite of that, sold out crowds and he did as he pleased, fought who ever he wanted and still sold tickets. So, my friend that’ts the difference between them both. There can only be one mayweather!

  • Boo Boo needs to stop with these mis-mandos and take a risk for a big fight. If he doesn’t lobby hard to challenge the winner of the GGG vs Murata uni contest next for 3/4 of the undisputed title at 160, then he doesn’t really want it.

    • Agree, GGG will dismantle him in 2 rounds! But, like you say he needs to step up his game and stop fighting inferior oposition that he strugles to beat everytime!!!!

  • make a statement please , yeah Andrade makes the statement again He only fights mediocre fighters the guy is a complete joke

  • Puff-puff needs to start laying people out in order to get attention. Once he gets a big name in the ring, he can box his ears off. He has good boxing skills, but they will only be appreciated once he’s main eventing.

  • I doubt he can k.o. even if the other guy has a glass chin! His fights with even lower opposition, he struggles and mostly get pass the 10 th round! Punching power not there, just pure luck!
