WBO middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade (29-0 18 KOs) has warned mandatory challenger Liam Williams (23-2-1 18 KOs to back up his talk on Saturday night at Hard Rock Live at Hard Rock Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Fl., live on DAZN.
“It’s one thing to be hyping yourself up and the fight,” said Andrade. “But you got to be concerned with what you are saying and back it up because at the end of the day, I don’t have two losses, I have never lost. They call him ‘The Machine’, but when I am done with him, he’ll be ‘The Rust Bucket.
“You’re going to see the same you always see from me – a solid game plan, dominance, landing big shots, an all-around great performance and giving people what they have been missing, the sweet science.
“I don’t think he’s going to just lay down with all the shit-talking he’s been doing, but when you finally get here, it’s different. Now you have to fight, and Liam is not going to stop my train. I expect him to bring the fight because this is his opportunity, but at the end of the day he’ll be able to say, ‘I lost to Demetrius Andrade’.
“Everyone says that they are going to do this and that with me, but reality bites, and when I touch them, they fall all around the ring and go running. It’s hard to hit me, they always end the night losing and saying, ‘wow, you are better than we think.’”
Not to be a jerk, but i havent seen Andrade “Dominate” anyone since the early part of his career
This clown SUCKS! Charlo would kick the royal crap out of this boring fighter who calls himself a champion.
Boring boring boring, Lets hope Smith knocks him out.
Hope Williams beats him first
Pulling for the upset.. Andrade’s idea of dominating = boring fight. I actually like high level, skillful fighters but at some point Andrade needs to look exciting if he’s gonna get a big name fight. Anyone remember when he turned down Jermall Charlo at jr middle??
Andrade’s style is his style, its not for some people, don’t watch, if you fall into that category. I know I’ll be watching. Styles make fights and its up to the opponent to cut off the ring and force a boxer like Andrade to mix it up. That’s like a batter telling a Major League pitcher to throw straight fastballs with no movement, curve balls, change-ups, cutters, or sliders, so you can hit the ball out of the park. I think Andrade’s got some skills, looking forward to a decent scrap.
Exactly!!! They expect fighters to give up their athletic ability and take unnecessary hits. If you want Gatti or Ward there is plenty of footage to view.
For the casuals, Boxing is a hit and not get hit sport. So Why keep watching a fighter that exhibits the Sweet Science just to complain? Im convinced, Most of these guys are Canelo protection fan boys.
Im certain The guys commenting “boring” dont take chances of their own and live a very boring life.
