Great move for all parties involved.
A active Andrade is top 2 light-middles in the world.
Hopefully he fights a Charlo this year.

The best fighter at 154. He needs to keep busy!

Since Amir Khan said he has to absolutely starve and kill himself to make 147, maybe he should just stay at 154, and take on little Boo Boo Andrade for a stay busy fight next.
