    Zuniga has a puncher's chance (and he can punch).

    However I see a points win for Bute.

    117-112.

    I think Bute had a public training today. Unfortunately for him, the Montreal Canadian hockey team just fired his head coach. Over here, it's a huge and a bit exagerated story. We'll hear about that, and only about that, for at least a week. Much less exposure for the Bute-Zuniga fight. :verysad

    I think Bute will stop him late and look good doing it; he's just a higher caliber of fighter than Zuniga is. Zuniga is always good for a game performance, though, so it should be a pretty good scrap.

    Even worst was the fact that a lot of the Romanians who helped build this thing were killed so that no secret information would be known, especially about the lower level underneat the ground...Sad story...:?

    Interesting the official weight will show Zuniga heavier altough he is a much smaller man to me.

    There's a second weigh-in tomorrow. They aren't allowed to be over 178. I doubt Zuniga will be heavier than Bute at tomorrow's weigh-in...;)

    just read on RDS that Larouche (Bute trainer) talk about the reason why Lucian energy drop so fast in his fight against Andrade . He talk about a psychologic facts but said they will give more information on this this fall:think.

    Strange things to talk just before the Fight. Maybe he just want to reconfort people i guess!

    I voted Bute by close decision, but that's because there was no "competetive decision" option. Due to certain intangibles we may see Zuniga put on a best ever type performance. Realistically this is Z's last hurrah. If he loses, that will probably be the end of him getting big fights. I expect to see him fight like he knows that.

    Zuniga should just jump right on Bute, and try to end it early. There is no way he can win a decision. I expect to see Bute survive some scary momnets in the early going, and ultimately win a 116-112 type decision.
