Andrade Hits Back at Canelo: He Called Me Horrible But He Just Got Beat By a Basic Fighter

Demetrius Andrade couldn’t help but feel a bit of schadenfreude after Canelo Alvarez’s recent loss in the ring.

The two division titlist from Rhode Island has had a bit of a contentious relationship with the Mexican superstar, with the two famously trading words after a press conference in May of 2021. Alvarez, fresh off of defeating Billy Joe Saunders in a 168-pound title bout, called Andrade a “horrible” fighter and claimed he was only after a “payday.” Andrade, who interrupted the presser with some antics, was eventually booted from the room.

Suffice to say, Alvarez’s recent loss to WBA light heavyweight titlist Dmitry Bivol last month at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas has had Andrade grinning from ear to ear. In a recent interview Andrade criticized Alvarez for losing to Bivol, whom Andrade also took aim at, calling the Russian a “basic” fighter.

“He (Alvarez) called me a horrible fighter, but he just got beat by a basic, foundation [fighter],” Andrade told spam.com. “Know what I mean? I throw uppercuts from miles away. You feel me?”

Andrade (31-0, 19 KOs) proceeded to illustrate his point by facetiously imitating Bivol throwing a one-two combination. Then he imitated his own fighting style, slipping punches and throwing uppercuts from various angles.

Andrade, 34, said he was not taken aback by the outcome of Alvarez-Bivol and claimed that Alvarez had ducked him in 2019 to fight then light heavyweight titlist Sergey Kovalev. Andrade also rejected the defense that Alvarez, who is still currently the undisputed champion at 168, was stretched too far by trying to fight at the 175-pound limit.

“Nah I wasn’t surprised,” Alvarez said. “People were running around saying he went up to 175, but it was okay when he dodged me to go fight Kovalev who was washed up, damaged, and all this other sh!t.

“Now some of the sh!t out there, c’mon man, stop it. He got beat by a simple, foundation [fighter].”

Andrade’s career is somewhat in limbo after he had to pull out of a fight with England’s Zach Parker due to an injury sustained in training camp. That fight, an interim WBO 168-pound bout, was supposed to be Andrade’s debut at super middleweight. Andrade still holds the WBO title at middleweight. A recent ruling by the sanctioning body contended that Andrade will have to face the division’s top contender in Janibek Alimkhanuly of Kazakhstan no later than Nov. 17 or risk being stripped of his belt.

Andrade last fought in November, a second-round stoppage of Ireland’s Jason Quigley in the headline act in Manchester, New Hampshire. The Rhode Islander has one fight left on his contract with longtime promoter Matchroom.

Andrada's resume speaks for itself. Lara, Jacobs, Eubank Jr and Ryder are still there, if Andrada wants to fight some decent opposition.

[IKSRTFO]

Bivol would beat Andrade too.

A couple of years ago Jacob's wasn't in favor of it because they're close friends. Lara turned Andrade down twice. Eubank wanted to fight Liam Williams instead. Ryder? Not sure. I'd be in favor of any of the above personally.

Canelo, GGG, Mall Charlo, Murata, Munguia, BJS, won't fight Andrade.

The best fight now would be Andrade vs Benevidez. Make it happen!

Andrade vs Benevidez would be a top fight, i think this is a fight benevidez needs, i said couple of cheap shots at db,because i think he is a really good fighter and i want to see him win things, and this would be it as i rate andrade as well

Andrade will never fight Benavidez because he'll get murdered. Same way he'll never fight anyone with a pulse because it's easier to pick up cheques and take it easy fighting nobodies while claiming everyone is afraid of you.

I do hope he gets a big fight with someone decent because he's top of the list of fighters i'd like to see get absolutely smashed to bits.

BINGO!

Indeed. Andrada knows very well that he's not an appealing fighter and also that he's not that good , so he's coasting through stiffs to get a payday. BJS did it too and he was very lucky that Canelo fought him for that strap.

Andrada's last fight was in 2021-11-19 vs JQ, so he must have been paid very well for fighting stiffs.

He's fighting stiffs because the big names won't fight him. Not rocket science. Smh
If he's not that good, a horrible fighter like Mall and Canelo say, why did they turn down multi-million dollar offers and take less $ fighting other guys?

[apollo creed]

The thing with Andrada is that he wants to cash in vs a good name but not earn his shot by fighting a decent name.

As it was said before, names like Korobov, Lara, Hurd and even one of the Charlos were options for Andrada but he didn't fight them. EO posted the WBO's history of Andrada which is a link of WBO.

Korobov was at a higher weight at the time. Lara has never agreed to fight Andrade. Hurd took a different fight and never was an option. Mell Chalo was almost 10 years ago. EO relies on one person saying Andrade was offered Mall Charlo, but no offer was disclosed, and Mall turned down a career high payday a few months later.
He's willing to put his 0 on the line, but has been turned down by all the big names. At nearly 35, he understandably wants big fights. I don't care if he loses.

What big name at his weight has he ducked in the last 6-8 years? None.

You've got guys like Canelo, Mall Charlo, GGG that say he brings nothing to the table, yet they fight guys like Kell Brook, Amir Khan, Vanes M who was inactive 2 years, Rocky Fielding, JCC Jr, Y I ldrim, washed Kovelev, Steve Rolls, Montell, Sulecki. Please.

[margaret thatcher]

benavidez and andrade say they'll fight anyone, anytime. both are looking for a fight. why havent they fought each other? maybe one or both of them arent telling the truth...

i mean, i know the lure to fight the likes of ronald ellis and jason quigley again are strong, but maybe they can overcome that and step in the ring vs each other instead.

No one will fight the guy except for these no name mandatory fighters he’s had to demolish in order to keep his strap. You can’t blame this guy man. That’s foolish and childish. He’s been begging to fight the best and then YOU PEOPLE fault him on resume. So dumb dude. You’re better than that. Andrade is a pretty freaking sad story related to Boxing politics if your an honest fan of the game. He should have been able to nab one big fight by now. Just to see how good he really is. It’s a joke

[Lackeos]

Andrade should try to fight someone before talking sh*t. He's hardly fought a world class opponent since Vanes Martirosyan in 2013.

The Resolution to vacate WBO Jr. Middleweight Title of Demetrius Andrade

https://www.wboboxing.com/wbo-official- ... s-andrade/

Andrada was just playing safe yapping around that he's avoided by the good names and bla, bla, bla.

If Canelo was willing to fight Lara back then, even if he didn't have to do it, then if Andrada wanted to prove he's willing to fight anybody then he should've cleaned out that 154 division(Lara, Hurd, Charlo, Harrison, Julian W.) and then start with the mw(Korobov, Chenko, etc).

He tried to get a fight with Lara, yet gets criticized for not fighting him. Same goes for Canelo, Mall Charlo. BJS, GGG, Murata, Munguia, Eubank Jr.

so why isnt the benavidez fight happening if they both want it? maybe they dont really?

Not enough money/buyers/viewers on the table. Benavidez is young enough to hype up his profile with fights against Morrell, Berlanga, Plant and maybe Charla.

Andrada wants to play it safe and hit the jackpot like BJS did it.

Andrada could get a good fight if somehow would put his title in line vs Eubank Jr in UK but I doubt Jr would want it.

The majority of the content of your post is pure fiction and can be debunked using claims either from Andrade's own team or the WBO.

In fact, I've provided evidence numerous times to educate you on these situations, but you chose to ignore them, because they didn't adhere to your preferred narrative.

[Enlightened-One]

so why isnt the benavidez fight happening if they both want it? maybe they dont really?

Back in November, Andrade said he didn't want to fight Benavidez until he captured a title at 168lbs, because he was aiming to move his career "strategically" and aiming to become a three-weight world champion.

In terms of Benavidez, the PBC and Showtime are looking to pit him (and Charlo) against Canelo during 2023.

Andrade is also a free agent and no one wants to put up any decent money to promote him or televise his bouts.
