The G Manifesto

Demetrius Andrade beats Andre Balanov

Demetrius Andrade was far too much for Andre Balanov, who only scored one point — he got two more on a curious penalty against Andrade for ducking. The American’s technically superb victory avenged a loss to the 32-year-old Balanov in Russia back in early 2005 when the current world champion welterweight was a raw prospect from Providence, R.I., on his first international trip.

“He was the first person I ever fought over, maybe, 22,” Andrade said. “I was real nervous. I’m only 16, I’ve got no power, I can’t hold the guy. I went in there and did my thing, but I learned from it, and it got me to where I am today.”

That’s one victory from a guaranteed medal, and three wins from gold. He’ll fight South Korea’s Kim Jung-joo on Sunday for a semifinal place.

He is no Sugar Ray Leonard, but Demetrius Andrade impressed today and he is one to watch in the pros if developed correctly.
