Demetrius Andrade embraced Irishman Jason Quigley after dropping, rocking and stopping him in 2 rounds to retain his WBO Middleweight World Title Belt Saturday Night (Nov 19) in New Hampshire, live worldwide on DAZN.

From the onset of actions the aggressive Andrade landed fast and effectively with fantastic power on the liver and the head of Quigley (19-2, 14 KO’s), damaging him quick, rocking him to the canvas, stunning the man from Ireland who had no counter measures in him to avoid the barrage of furious blows thrown at him in rapid-fire mode.

Three times was Jason Quigley forced to the blue floor during the course of the short-lived rumble till veteran referee Arthur Mercante Jr., halted all actions to evade further punishment.

After the quick, exciting win, Andrade (31-0, 19 KO’s) asked promoter Eddie Hearn for high-profiled fights, wanting to get into battle against undefeated Mexican former titlist Jaime Munguia, fellow American WBC champ Jermell Charlo or the ever-popular fan-friendly Kazakhstan IBF world champion “Triple G” Gennady Golovkin.

Who would you like to see Andrade battling next? All the about sound good, but If I have to choose one, then I’d love to see Andrade vs Charlo next. Lets see what will unfold with Andrade, the hard-punching WBO middleweight champion of the word.

The Uzbek world champion fully displayed his superior boxing skills over the bearded hard-swinging Chile boxer who surely packs TNT in his fists, although lacks finesse regarding technique.

As a result, unanimous scores were 119-111 (three times) in favor of the absolutely more-skilled undefeated Uzbek world champion, and many fans would like to see him against the winner of the Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa vs Stephen Fulton for the undisputed super bantamweight crown.

Figueroa (22-0-1, 17 KO’s) and Fulton (19-0, 8 KO’s) are set to rumble for the WBC/WBO-122 world title next Saturday, Nov 27, in Las Vegas.
