    Comments Thread For: Andrade On Benavidez Bout: He [Had] Nowhere To Go; I Have Nowhere To Go; We Gotta Do It

    LAS VEGAS - From Demetrius Andrade's vantagepoint, he and David Benavidez need each other. Both boxers would've preferred to challenge Canelo Alvarez next for super middleweight supremacy, but the Mexican icon has shown little interest in fighting Andrade or Benavidez. They were therefore left to face each other Saturday night in one of the most intriguing fights that could've been made within the 168-pound division.

    Andrade, you literally had nowhere to go. Benavidez is young and didn’t have to fight you if he didn’t want to but unlike you he has confidence in himself at his age which is something you lacked or else you’d have more names under your belt had you taken the chances and won or would have some L’s on your record. Your age is the only reason you decided to step up now and not before, you ain’t fooling no one

      This is a great test for Benavidez. Andrade was always a high risk, low reward fight so he was ducked. Not necessarily out of fear but he is one of those guys that it's difficult to look good against. Why would a guy like Canelo fight a tricky, boring dude and risk being out boxed for the same money as other fights like Charlo?

            Keep looking , if you look past one million endings , you'll see the billion endings in which Benavidez beats Andrade. This Saturday it's going to be by stoppage in the 9th is my guess.

              Correction Boo Boo: you had no where else to go. Benevidez is young and on the rise so he had options.

                They needed each other b/c Canelo fought all the lames for the belts, not the #1 and #2 contender, very FMW-ish. Can Andrade slow the roll-down-the-hall effect like Bivol did with Gilberto? If Benavidez has to pause before coming forward he will get his ears boxed off. As I said, Andrade is going to pace this fight vs. coming out guns blazing. Benavidez has a good high guard but a soft body so don't waste a cramp load of power punches and energy with his gloves catching. Turn when he is square and destroy his kidneys for the 1st 5 rounds. Open the guard and Andrae 50% power punches land will hit the mark. I mean turn him blood red. Also saw Andrade do something very Bernard Hopkins-ish. As with Bivol Gilberto, does Andrade have something/some skillset to stop the downhill effect? That's all David is. That monster stuff is Mike Tyson. life and death with one of FMW's C fighters, no punch Plant, and a shot Dirrell and Lemiuex and people singing he has a solid resume.

                Like Crawford at 35 Andrade very little wear on him going to the fight, young 35 for boxing.

                  These boxers fight for a living, they don’t fear anyone if it were just about wins and loses and legacy but since it’s also about money and making a living, I can see how a guy like Andrade was “ducked” in a sense. These guys aren’t afraid of each other, there’s many things that make or brake a fight being signed, fear isn’t one of those things. People throw the word “duck” around as if a certain fighter is scared and that’s just not the case, like I said they do this for a living, it’s what they do it’s just work. My problem with Andrade is this, which still stands even now, he was always calling for the canelo fight while literally having a trash resume, and not only canelo, other top fighters amd he never got a fight signed for whatever that reason was but it wasn’t because he was feared. Now, he is getting up there in age and we supposed to believe that now he deserves a shot at a big fight and big task like a David Benavidez will be? I don’t believe it one bit, he now gets a shot because himself and no one else actually stepped up. He could of done that a while ago…
