Demetrius Andrade v Artur Akavov

This is a horrible mismatch. There are at least 50 better middleweights than Akavov.

There are at least 5 better Russian middleweights: Artem Chebotarev, Khasan Baysangurov, Artur Osipov, Maxim Voshkov and Magomed Madiev.

Sounds like boxing politics to me. And the card looks like shit too. Shitty fights on this one. Fights that literally mean nothing. Let us hope that a FOTY candidate just happens and we have it on YouTube to remember it by because I don't see myself running to the TV to get this one....

Andrade does what he has been doing his entire career. Just avoiding the top fighters. I will say that last fight BJS was at fault, but Andrade should be fighting higher level caliber fighters.

God forbid he gets hurt for not taking quality risks at this stage. Sooner or later he is gonna have to fight someone who is someone- Someone who is not coming in to sell his title/contendership or take a knee and odds are you will NOT be ready for it. Then what is gonna happen is he is going to have to find it within himself to grit it out and THEN we will see how tough he is.

I hate to bring up bad news or sound like a prick, but the "accident" that happened to Adonis Stevenson was predictable. He was going to get hurt BECAUSE you can't go around the place fluffing and fighting easy fights and set up easy moments, but when you jump in with a hungry animal expect anything else but to get hurt.

I'm shocked he did not retire after the Jack fight.
