That's the thing. This is the type of fight that's almost bound to go to decision, and with it beingin the UK, Saunders will get the decision even if Andrade outclasses him... Andrade will be giving up 4 rounds just by going over there. It's also for the WBO, which is a corrupt organization. Part of me thinks Saunders' people paid the WBO to order this fight, because Andrade supposedly said recently that he'd need a couple of fights before fighting Saunders. Saunders has already responded to the ordering of the fight, saying he wants to get it on in September.
With that said tho, Andrade has passed up on too many opportunities. I actually understand why he wouldn't wanna take this fight, but I don't know if he can afford not to at this point.
