Comments Thread For: Andrade-Alimkhanuly: Purse Bid Delayed, WBO Grants Additional Week For Deal

[Kannabis Kid]

I can't understand how Andrade didn't get the fight done with Parker, and still not get the deal done with Alimkhanuly? What was the plan? If he really wanted Canelo, then the Parker deal should've got done!

ZACH PARKER ACCUSES DEMETRIUS ANDRADE OF AVOIDING HIM IN PROPOSED INTERIM TITLE CLASH

ZACH PARKER believes he has got Demetrius Andrade running scared after the two-weight World champion ducked out of a big showdown against the Derby man.

Parker is the number one contender for the WBO Super-Middleweight title held by the division’s undisputed champion Canelo Alvarez.

The WBO ordered unbeaten Parker to face Andrade for their interim World title, but last week the American decided against facing Zach.

Andrade says he’ll keep his WBO Middleweight World championship instead of facing the fast emerging British star who has knocked out his last five opponents.

“People call him the bogeyman, but I must be the problem in the way. I don’t think he fancies it,” said Parker who is lined up to box in hometown Derby for the first time in his professional career on April 23.



I wonder if it's because Hearn and Warren can't work together? Benn vs. Avanesyan should've gotten done too!

I'm not sure on this one I haven't seen much of Parker but from what I've seen I don't think he's a big threat to Andrade I think the Kazakh offers more in terms of competition. It's obvious Demetrius doesn't want to fight at 168 though I don't blame him honestly moving up isn't for everyone look at a GGG never moved from 160 and fought a bunch of former 154 lbers yet people hold him here as a P4P great for some reason.

Beating Parker doesn't mean he gets a Canelo fight

Well, I don't think Canelo is coming down to 160, so if he wanted that smoke, he should do what's necessary to get the bag!

Facts! Staying at 160 won't help either. Hopefully one day he gets a fight with GGG?

Yeah that's for sure I can agree on that.
