If Andrade wasn't at least decent, he would have lost to Nelson and Vanes when he fought them.
Lubin and Jrock ain't even do that much and you had nikkas picking them to beat the Charlos who were already proven.
Just putting shyt into perspective.
@LauderdaleBoss - a florida pbc card..dont know if that's near you though
Devon Alexander vs. Walter Castillo - PBC on FS1, November 21
Former 147-pound world champion Devon Alexander will battle rugged contender Walter Castillo in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions TOE-TO-TOE TUESDAYS on FS1 and BOXEO DE CAMPEONES on FOX Deportes Tuesday, Nov. 21 from The Coliseum in St. Petersburg, Florida with televised coverage beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT.
The 10-round bout will headline a show promoted by Warriors Boxing and Fire Fist Boxing Promotions and features a 10-round co-main event between unbeaten welterweight prospect Miguel Cruz against once-beaten David Grayton. Two of the fighting Russell brothers, Antonio and Antuanne, brothers of featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr., will enter the ring in separate six-round matches.
Tickets for the live event begin at $35 and are on sale now. To purchase tickets visit www.ticketmaster.com.
"This show is packed with talent and should deliver a great night of boxing for fans in Florida and watching on FS1 and FOX Deportes," said Leon Margules, President of Warriors Boxing. "Devon Alexander is a former two-division champion on the comeback trail and he'll be tested by Walter Castillo, who is always in exciting fights. Miguel Cruz and David Grayton are both hungry prospects looking to raise their status and Antuanne and Antonio Russell are hoping to follow their brother Gary on the path to a world title. I want to thank my partner Fire Fist Boxing Promotions, for their hard work to make this event happen in Florida."
The 30-year-old Alexander (26-4, 14 KOs) will end a two-year layoff due to health issues when he steps in against Castillo. Alexander, of St. Louis, Missouri, won the 147-pound world championship with a unanimous decision victory over Randall Bailey in 2012. He lost the title via unanimous decision against Shawn Porter the next year. Alexander, a southpaw, was a unified champion at 140-pounds and owns victories over Marcos Maidana, Lucas Matthysse and Jesus Soto Karass.
"Two years is a long time to be away from something you love but I wanted to make sure when I come back that I would be 100 percent my old self," Alexander said. "My last outings were not me, and a lot of my fans and people that know me are aware of that. I've been in constant training since then while getting my personal situation in order. Castillo is a good solid fight that is going to bring the best skills out of me. He's not a slouch and he's coming to fight. But it's not about what Castillo coming to do. It's about me making a statement to show people that I am still up there with the elite fighters, and I know that when I'm right, nobody can beat me."
After campaigning the last few years at 140 pounds, Castillo (26-4-1, 19 KOs) is stepping up to 147 pounds to take on the former champion Alexander. The 29-year-old Castillo, of Managua, Nicaragua, will be ending a 16-month layoff on November 21. Castillo lost by TKO to Sergey Lipinets in a 140-pound clash his last time out after previously fighting to a draw against Keita Obara in a title eliminator.
"I think this could be one of my last great opportunities and I'm very excited for it," said Castillo. "Devon Alexander is a great boxer and I will have to be at my very best. Even though I've been out of the ring, my condition will not be a problem. I am 100 percent ready to give Alexander trouble. I am working very hard on a game plan to stop Alexander shock everyone."
The unbeaten Cruz (16-0, 11 KOs) has been very busy in 2017 as he steps into the ring for his fourth fight this year. The 27-year-old welterweight from St. Mary, Florida scored a unanimous decision victory over Alex Martin in a rematch in his last fight on June 27 after earning a split-decision in their first fight and beating Ali Mammadov in between.
The 30-year-old Grayton (15-1-1, 11 KOs) is coming off a technical draw against former champion Kermit Cintron in his last fight on March 17. Grayton, of Washington D.C., suffered the only loss of his career when he was stopped by technical knockout by Bryant Perrella on June 4, 2016 before returning to defeat Kareem Martin in August last year leading up to the Cintron fight.
they hate him so much adopted the Charlo mindset
constantly mad
Is it ironic that they all are fans of The Charlos?
I think you just connected the dots for me Res
#ATeam just be minding our business and the haters always raging and angry at Andrade for no reason at all
That's a bit of a drive for me for that level of card, but that day is bad for me regardless. I won't be able to do shyt that week.
Good looking out though as always.

I guess you now know what it feels like to be a #GGGoodBoy
Big Charlo would send doo doo into dimension X with his lunging ass...what boxing god be lookin like Matthysse falling over his own punches
#lionsonly wish the #Ateam nothing but the best...
they need it... be 30yrs old N your best W be Willie Nelson brehs
I'd say #NoShot but Andrade obviously don't want ANY Charlo problems ever...so there's no need to:Lol88:
Our best win is Vanes Martirosyan
Charlos best win is whom? Lubin & J Rock? 2 prospects who's resume is way worse than Andrade's?
See us at 160...oh I forgot, you on the wrong side of the street with no opponents at 160
Didn't think about that either
Is it ironic that all the Andrade haters are all GGG haters as well?
The dots are being connected
Too bad they stuck on Showtime fighting 1 legged, random 160 Euro's and getting hype off beating them
I feel like Andrade is going to be the next Coli favorite to get slumped the first time they face a realdeal fighter that’s not on journeyman status
Andrade being a coli favorite

True true I do believe he is good and has the skills but beating Vanes/Nelson doesn’t turn you into this ducked boogeyman. Rigo is ducked and he actually has a belt. Andrade problem is just bad management.
Why not come back to 154 where a fight with the #1 154 guy is ordered. Beating Lara will leapfrog him to the spotlight more than anything he can do @160 in the next 18months.
Fighting Lara>fighting murata and waiting in line at 160 for a year and a half to get a chance at the top dog GGG/Canelo.
Gne fukk around and get smoked by Jacobs why he at 160 bullshytting
You're severely underrating HBO promo.
Andrade vs the winner or loser of Lemieux/Sanders, or vs Jacobs for his 2nd fight is already much better than beating Lara
Only in The Ring is beating Lara some sort of "push"....outside of this place, nobody cares about Lara & especially not #ATeam now that we got HBO behind us again
Andrade vs Fox just outdrew the ratings of the main event of that card....Lara emptied the building and had the worst views on the whole card
He should be worried about Charlo & Hurd over there on Showtime....dont worry about what HBO fighters got going on
And Jacobs losing via KO to Andrade is a very real possibility while you talking about being smoked breh

N Let's not even bring up Trout
Damn it feel good to stan a fighter who...fights for N wins real belts
... beats up real deal boxers

I think a Andrade vs Murata fight would be pretty damn entertaining. A win for either guy definitely moves them ahead career wise.
Lara is a con man. He fights bums or no hopers all the time keeping his name hot and anytime he fights someone on his level he struggles and bores everyone's eyelids off. Those of us strong enough to withstand his mutant powers will gladly warn others of this fukkery.
That nikka been ducking and pump faking with Andrade for years
He talks about how he'll fight GGG, but never attempts to fight at 160 or beat a common opponent. At least Andrade, Big Charlo, and even Canelo with his ducking ass eventually went to 160.
and I'd pick Andrade to beat the shyt outta Jacobs. If Jacobs gets aggressive he gets dropped on some Mora shyt and if he tries to get on the back foot, Andrade would just outbox him. Not saying Jacobs doesn't have a chance because he's a threat to anybody, I just don't think his style matches up well with DA.

No shot?
You beltless at 160
And you on Showtime when every other Middleweight who is even legit & holds a belt fights on HBO
