    Default Saunders v Andrade - Boston 20/10/18 - Sky/DAZN - CANCELLED

    Saunders is in the shape of his life for this which really makes you wonder when you consider recent news.

    Anyway this should be a great fight nonetheless.

    Billy Joe Saunders looks a picture of health and commitment ahead of his latest title defense on October 20.

    The WBO middleweight champion finds out this week whether a doping ban will be forthcoming.

    Saunders has been training in the United States ahead on his mandatory fight with Demetrius Andrade. Saunders posted a picture of his physique as fight week approaches.

    The 29 year-old put his undefeated 26-0 record on the line against Andrade, who himself holds a perfect 25-0 C.V.

    With no news yet on the UK broadcast, Saunders v Andrade takes place at the TD Garden in Boston.

    In a recent move, former Contender star Walter Wright has been added to the bill following his shock win over Mark DeLuca.

    The pair will contest a rematch after 37 year-old Wright stunned DeLuca in June.

    Wright took DeLuca’s ‘0’ following a successful comeback from a five-year absence. ‘2 Guns’ is rewarded with a slot on a huge show.

    UNDERCARD
    Others on the bill for October 20th include Irish favorite Katie Taylor. The biggest star in women’s boxing and the WBA and IBF World Lightweight Champ competes in a showdown with Brooklyn-based Cindy Serrano.

    ‘Checkmate’ is the Brooklyn-based WBO Featherweight Champ. Serrano is also one of the most exciting combat sports stars to come out of Puerto Rico.

    Serrano hasn’t lost a fight since 2012 and is gunning for two-weight World glory.

    Also on the bill is a showdown between American boxer and IBF Super-Featherweight title holder Tevin Farmer and Irish boxer James Tennyson.

    Farmer landed the title with a landslide points win in Billy Dib’s Australian backyard in August. He gained redemption in the process after missing out on the crown in a controversial split decision loss against Kenichi Ogawa in Las Vegas in December. Tennyson is the reigning European and Commonwealth champion.

    I think everyone wants Andrade to win, even the Brits.

    I don’t care who wins, but this is a very good fight. Both guys are really tricky, Andrade is a very under looked/rated fighter imo. Maybe he’s hot and cold, but he does certain things extremely well.

    Saunders has been denied his licence and will be stripped of his title

    cant say I'm disappointed. After the way he's conducted himself in recent months getting caught for drugs wasn't surprising, I bet David Lemieux is loving it.

    Billy Joe Saunders: Demetrius Andrade fight CANCELLED as champ 'launches VULGAR tirade'

    Massachusetts State Athletic Commission has refused to grant the Englishman a licence to fight, who reportedly shouted at board members to "suck my *****" through the speakerphone after hearing the decision.

    This is as a result of Saunders failing a voluntary drugs test.

    I don't know where you get the idea that Saunders has no support here. People like him even though sometimes he can be as daft as a brush" He is a fight anybody "fighter and has proved that he can up and alter his game. Andrade is largely unknown here but those in the know accept that he is a good fighter. We know Billy Joe is a good fighter too. Some of us feel that he has the ability to be great. Lets hope he shows that and that that the best man wins.

    I am not disputing Saunders has talent and one of the most skilled boxers on the planet at his weight class which just makes this situation even worse for him.

    I'm kind of glad. Their shtick about it being no problem and that the BBBoC had no problem with it, neither did UKAD stunk to high heaven of arrogance. Massachusetts involvement in proceedings was downplayed to the point of being redundant. If I was a shot caller in the Commission I'd have been thinking right you cunts. I wanted them to come a cropper if I'm honest.

    Saunders has systematically undone any good work he's done recently and only has himself to blame. He wont of course, it's because he's a traveller.

    He'll be off to Eddie in a flash to buy him into a decent fight in six months.

    Strange thing in boxing where every fighter described as a fight anybody fighter has both turned down fights and a crap CV.

    Billy Joe Saunders could face action over hearing outburst as boxer is denied licence for Demetrius Andrade bout

    Billy Joe Saunders could face fresh punishment after allegedly abusing American boxing officials after being refused a licence to fight next week.

    Saunders was due to defend his WBO middleweight title against Demetrius Andrade in Boston on Saturday week, but was denied the right after a failed doping test.

    The 29-year-old returned an adverse finding for the stimulant oxilofrine in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test in August. His promoter, Frank Warren, is likely to launch a legal battle against the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission, though, insisting the authorities must follow World Anti-Doping Agency rules and regard the test as being “out of competition”.

    An alternative opponent, Namibia’s Walter Kautondokwa, has already been brought in to take on Andrade while the WBO sanctioning body goes through the legal process of officially stripping the Welwyn Garden City fighter of his belt.

    Saunders is said to have been connected to the licence hearing on a telephone conference call and to have greeted the commission’s ruling by telling them over the line: “You can all s*** my p****”. That may lead to action by the British Boxing Board of Control, which recently hit Saunders with a £100,000 fine for bringing the sport into disrepute after he was seen in a social media video taunting a female drug user and offering her cash to perform a sex act. He was also given a severe reprimand about his future conduct.

    The Board may now take further action over this episode, which has demeaned the standing of the sport, and could even withdraw Saunders’s licence to box in Britain.

    The undefeated fighter has now lost a major opportunity to make an impact in the United States and a £1.8million pay day.

    Saunders and Warren said the failed test was the result of the boxer unwittingly inhaling from a nasal decongestant spray and believed he would be given permission to compete.

    Warren insists that the authorities in Boston have allowed UFC fighters to compete in similar circumstances and that could form the basis of a legal action against the ruling.

    Although the WBO have already begun the process of removing Saunders’s title, he has 10 days in which to appeal.

    He makes more vs Murata in Japan, plus there's the winner of Jacobs/ Derevy. An Andrade fight is almost as irrelevant as a Charlo fight, but at least it would have a world title involved, not some interim rubbish.
    So changing circumstances means nothing because the company line has been the same for over a year “Anyone but Charlo, f’n anyone”. At least they’re consistent.
    Already responded to you in another thread on why Charlo isn't relevant.
    I know. Fighters don’t need tough fights, don’t want them. Bring on Murata, set the world on fire. The fight everyone is calling for.
    You mean tough fights like Heiland or Centeno? Murata and Charlo are on par at 160, plus GGG probably makes double if not more for Murata. My preference would be Jacobs if he beats Derevy.
