Cotto ate them plastered right hands from margacheato and didn't get slumped. Tito left is his only way of knocking out Cotto and I honestly don't see him outboxing cotto. The weight would be the only thing that scares me. Tito is really a middleweight that was draining himself to make 147.
It's to the point now where Tito is underrated.
Pretty soon, muthafukkas gonna come in here and say Bradley would beat Trinidad.

Hell no bum ass Tim ain't on Titos level and doesn't have the power.It's to the point now where Tito is underrated.
Pretty soon, muthafukkas gonna come in here and say Bradley would beat Trinidad.
But I dislike tito very much I think he is a more athletic kelly pavlik. A basic fighter with good power beating smaller opponents until he steeped in there with nikkas his own Suze that had elite skills. See Cotto beat nikkas his own size that had elite skills.
this has been quite the interesting convo today

Maybe I'm missing something with tito but all I see is a seek and destroy dude with good power and decent athletic ability. This nikka tito ain't Roberto Duran or jccsr. This nikka lost every single round to b hop.this has been quite the interesting convo today
The only nikka to embarrass a PRIME Cotto like that was manny PEDIAQUAO
And pacman is much better than b hop
I honestly think canelo would beat tito at 154 and Cotto would beat him at 147. His boxing skill is nothing special and if you avoid the left hook you Gucci

I know they have diff. styles nikka but they both got exposed by the old slick c00noh man..this is gold
What do you mean he "clearly" doesn't want the fade?
So, we're going to take 1 article which he says Lara is LAST resort (not that he wouldn't fight him, but his last resort which he gave the reasons for why) but leave out all the many articles where he's called him out over and over again with no response from Lara?
Secondly, since Bradley didn't accept AB's request to shoot the fade...should I say he's ducking AB as well?
Like, I don't know if yall aint reading it all the way thru, but Andrade has been the one calling out Lara....not vice versa. So how can you duck the person YOU'RE calling out?
It makes 0 sense
Andrade has said over and over again, even BEFORE beating Willie Nelson, that he wants the Charlos first and then Lara...but yall having selective memory out here in these ring streets:
Demetrius Andrade: ‘I will make history by beating both of the Charlo twins. Then Erislandy Lara’

UNDEFEATED super-welterweight Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade is in a good place as he prepares for his June 11 showdown versus Willie “The Great” Nelson on Showtime (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT) from Turning Stone Casino in Verona, N.Y.
Approaching the peak of his professional boxing career, the 28-year-old Andrade (22-0, 15 KOs) has moved past a frustrating three-year stretch that, after he won a 12-round decision over Vanes Martirosyan for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) 154-pound world title, found him fighting only twice. One was his only title defense, in which he won impressively by way of a seventh-round stoppage of then WBO No. 1 mandatory title challenger Brian Rose. But, due to promotional issues, Andrade was later stripped by the WBO for inactivity. His last fight was this past October when he recorded a second-round knockout of Dario Fabian Pucheta for the WBO International belt.
Now, Andrade has a new three-year promotional contract that gives his company, A Team Promotions, 50 percent of his promotional rights to go along with 25 percent each for Banner Promotions and Star Boxing.
“I’ve always been in a good place, mentally, because I have confidence in myself,” said Andrade on what he went through during his long stretch outside of the ring. “I continued training hard. The politics of boxing, well, I’m not 100 percent there yet. Not until I’m actually in the ring and fighting will I actually know if that’s worked out for me.
“I’m satisfied in my future, showcasing myself in the ring. I own 50 percent of myself and that – being a promoter – is a big factor. I know everything now, including all the real numbers, and I’ve learned about the ins and outs of this business. I’m also meeting the right network of people to help my career.”
Andrade is thrilled to be fighting on Showtime for the second time during his career, the first back in 2013 on ShoBox: The New Generation against Freddy Hernandez. “The top 154-pounders are with SHOWTIME. I’d like to thank SHOWTIME for giving me this amazing opportunity,” he said.
Andrade-Nelson is a 12-round WBC title elimination fight to determine the second mandatory challenger for new WBC Super Welterweight Champion Jermell Charlo, who, as the WBC No. 1 contender was matched last May 21 with No. 2 rated John Jackson. No. 3 Andrade was originally slated to face No. 5 Charles Hatley in a title eliminator to determine the No. 1 mandatory contender. However, negotiations with Hatley’s promoter, Don King, failed to materialize and Andrade moved on to fight WBC No. 10 Nelson. The WBC declared Hatley as Charlo’s mandatory challenger, despite him being ranked lower than Andrade, with the Andrade-Nelson winner now declared the mandatory title challenger for the future Charlo-Hatley victor.
Andrade, though, has no hard feelings with the WBC about its decisions. “I’m just thankful to be fighting in this ‘tournament’,” he commented. “Charlo was the WBC International champion and he should have had the opportunity to fight for the vacant title. I have the WBO International title, Hatley the WBC Silver title, so Hatley should probably have been ranked higher than me by the WBC. I respect the WBC’s decision to make him the first mandatory challenger.”
Nelson (25-2-1, 15 KOs) and Andrade are familiar with each other through the USA Boxing amateur program, but the two have never met in the ring.
“Nelson lets his hands go,” Andrade noted. “He likes to mix it up and so do I. I like to think that I’m a little smarter than him in the ring. This is going to be an interesting fight. I respect him for taking the fight and I’m preparing to fight the toughest opponent I’ve ever faced. He may be the tallest guy (6′ 3″) I’ve ever fought as a pro, but it’s only a few inches, and not a big deal.”
Andrade is back on his way to reaching the peak of the 154-pound division once again.
“I am ready to set the roof on fire on June 11,” Andrade said. “Once everyone at 154 pounds gets a taste of me, they will know I am the greatest. The Charlos made history by becoming the first twins to hold titles in the same weight division. I will make history by beating both of them. Then I will beat Lara and unify all of the belts.
“Stay tuned. I am a force to be reckoned with. I will show the world that the best 154 pound fighter in the world is Demetrius Andrade.”

Like, cmon brehs
Nah I didn't know the history, but based on the recent article it just sounds like he doesn't want it, but apparently he does.
Regardless, it would be a good match up, and I hope we see it soon.
@LauderdaleBoss I agree with you lara is boring to watch, but in reality dude is a very good boxer with + defense and + power
oh man..this is gold
Ima have to keep that in mind when I start my annual "ODLH really beat Tito and gave him a boxing clinic" posts

Yall, @mr. smoke weed & @Black_Jesus wanna talk now....but said nothing when just last week Andrade said THIS:
Andrade: I've Been Calling Out Erislandy Lara For a Long Time! - Boxing News
"I am the best fighter in the 154-pound division," Andrade proclaimed. "I'm the No.1 contender in the WBO. Liam Smith is holding my belt but I don't believe he'll fight me. I'm the WBC mandatory for the Charlo-Hatley winner. Once I get that belt I'll beat Charlo's twin for the IBF title and I've been calling out (WBA Champ Erislandy) Lara for a long time. But 'Canelo' is the big money fight out there for me and who I want the most. I can be ready for him in September for his next fight."
"When I first turned pro," Andrade explained, "I was getting in the ring with some good fighters, so I was cautious and settled in on just getting a victory. I learned that I needed to change in order to put butts in seats"
He's been saying the same stuff for a minute, after he beat Nelson he said he worked on his strength and he learned he needed to engage in more exciting fights & also wanted to fight those who's name began with a C and ended with an O (Canelo, Charlo, Cotto) next, but now yall wanna act like this is brand new info and he's "ducking" Lara who hasn't mentioned any names except GGG over the last year.......and he said he WOULD still fight him, but only as a last resort bc he's not entertaining to watch
Sorry breh I can't read and remember every damn Article about a boxer who isn't in #SmokeSquad
Like I said, they're both very good boxers, I would favor Lara. But they definitely should scrap. No hating there. The fact @Black_Jesus and I agree is like losing your job and finding out your girl is banging your ace from 2nd grade, sometimes shyt happens
