    I think Bute will have the control at Mid-fight after a couples of well earned round, maybe Z will be able to take 2 rounds . But after the 6 im pretty sure Lucian will have found his distance and Zuniga will get fustrated so he will start to throw his wide punch. at this point Bute will conter almost everything Zuniga will throw and its just a mather of Heart how long the fight will last.

    I dont say Zuniga isnt a good boxer but i think that Lucian have seen everything Zuniga will bring.

    But there always the "if" with a good Puncher like Zuniga!

    And what I'm saying is that you brought a prime Echols in the discussion which was totally irrelevant here.

    Whilst I agree that's not really what I meant though Dec.

    IMO part of the problem against andrade was that Bute went for the kill in rounds 8-10 and underestimated the cojones of Andrade. He gassed himself out and Andrade just wouldn't stop coming at him.

    I think in order to avoid another fatigue melt down, he'll be more measured throught the fight.

    Now watch him come out guns blazing and put Zuniga down in 4 :lol::lol:

    :lol:

    Bute never comes out blazing. He's quite safety-first...even appearing to carry his opponents at times. I guess it has to do with the fact that he doesn't like a high-tempo relentless pace. If Zuniga shows a lot of heart and toughness, and keeps coming, then...yeah...Bute UD...you're right.

    I think Bute did things differently in his last two fights. Against Joppy and Andrade, he started faster than usually. For Joppy, it was not a problem. For Andrade, he had no choice because Andrade was always in his face. How will he begin the fight this time? I hope he won't be too cautious.

    My prediction: Bute tko 8th round. Same scenario as Decebal but faster. First couple of rounds will be close. Then, Bute will adjust his distance and timing. From the third, he will start to hurt Zuniga more and more. I know I'm optimistic. But I think Zuniga is not a new challenge for Bute. Lucian will also want to make a statement.

    i think Bute stops him late, he can really bang with his straight left, and after 8-10 rounds of picking him apart with jabs and right hooks he'll unleash it and stop him around the 11th

    Bute will take this on UD easily. He will lose maybe the first 2 rounds, after that, it will be a schooling due to his superior combination. But he will not try to outslug it to prove something, no he learned over the Andrade fight, that try to please the crowd to much, isnt the right thing to do. He will play it safe. As he should. If he see Zuniga hurt, he will go on finishing him if he really think he can. He won't waste energy like he did vs Andrade.

    I just hope to see Bute show us, a better inside game.

    The only news on Interbox site: Bute has received new clothing with the colors of the Romanian flag. There is no promo at all for the moment. When is Zuniga flying to Montreal again?
