WBA Light Middleweight Champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara has responded to WBO Champion Demetrius Andrade’s claims that Lara’s not interested in a unification fight.
“I’ll fight him anytime!,” said Lara. My resume speaks for itself. I’m willing to fight Cotto or GGG next…you think I’m worried about this little spoiled brat? Look at my resume of great fighters I’ve fought: [Paul] Williams, [Carlos] Molina, Vanes [Martirosyan], [Austin] Trout, Canelo [Alvarez], [Alfredo] Angulo and now [Ishe] Smith.
“In 24 fights, who has he fought?” [Editor’s note – Andrade has had 21 professional bouts]
Lara went on to say about Andrade’s latest drama about pulling out if his last scheduled fight: “I’m the best in the division. If I put my name to a contract I show up and fight, unlike him when he pulled out of the biggest fight of his career against Charlo.
“Not to mention, he turned down a fight with me on ESPN2 years ago when I was willing to whoop to put a beating on him for $15.000. And don’t forget, I already whooped that ass for free in the amateurs! His nickname serves him right…he’s Poo Poo!”
