~~~The Lightning Lucian Bute Battleship~~~

I'm pretty sure he goes over 180,he was 178 on figth night with Bute and a fighter's natural weight is about 5 lbs above what he is on fight night.

 

I should hope so,if they think to put Wright it's pertty bad even tough I'm a fan......
Hell Howard Grant would be a better choice

 

Bute never touches 190 himself,or at least I never heard,never over 187 as far as I know,altough he eats a lot of stupid things in Romania.
''Homecooking'......

 

I'm curious to know: what does Romanian homecooking looks like?

 

I think you may be right on this. Overtraining can be very damaging for a boxer. He just did 100 sparring rounds in preparation for Zuniga. Is it more or less than against Andrade?

 

And interview from the romanian press:

R:You had Zuniga as a sparring-partner before the Andrade fight,do you think the fight with him is easier now?
LB:It's not about this.Anyway in the sparring fights nobody goes all out.You don't fight like you'd in the ring.I had 3 sparrings with him in a week before he left to Europe.I didn't even think then that he would be a future opponent.He hits hard,is ranked in the top 10,has a good following in the US.He's got 19 KOs.
R:You also have plenty of fights in which your opponnets tasted the canvas.Should we expect a quick fight?
LB:My objective is not to knock him out.I just want to retain the belt,gain more experience and stay champion.And I will suceed at this.If I hacve the opportunity to do this Iwill send him on the canvas.I win't forgive him.
R:Are you still thinking about the last seconds of the Andrade fight?
LB:I'm over it,it's history now.It was a weird expericence.It was the first time in my career that this happened to me.I learned from that episode,I've matured.I made mistakes,I had 10 rounds,I was entuziastic and instead of staying calm I went after him.Iwon't make the mistake again.I hope it won't happen.I'm focusing on the Zuniga fight,I have trust in myself,in God.Everything will be ok.
R:It seems you won't get away from him(Andrade).If he beats Tsypko you will have to fight him again...
LB:Yeah,I know.I'm Andrade's fan for his fight on april 4th.I'm awaiting another fight with him because Iwant to clarify that last round with him.Many had things to say at the time.I accept the comments but I have to even the score.Everybody has to see who the chamnp is.
R:How's your weight?
LB:Now that I just finished training Ican say I have an excess of 5 Kgs.When I entered training I had 7.Now if I eat something,drink som water I''ll put them back on(laughing).I''ll get it done somewhow.

 

Depends on what you eat obviously?
Generally,looks bad,smalles and tastes good and isn't healthy.
I mean look at Dorin now......he's 175-180.
Bute likes the traditional food called ''sarmale'' a lot,made by his momk,that's puts a lot of weight on.

 

Well, it doesn't look so bad. Pork, rice, cabbage and tomatoes. No trans fat. My mom used to make a recipe like this! So I'm a little Romanian after all.

 

I forgot how many rounds he did for Andrade. I think it was close to 200 but I could be wrong. :huh

 

I don't really think rice goes in the recipe.Maybe to go with it but no in itself..I myself don't like'em with rice.
