    I think Bute will push the 178 limit.

    Bute might weigh even slightly more than 176...

    Yes...good points...and your strategy makes sense.:deal This is what I would do too...go all out and throw the kitchen sink at Bute from the first second. Bute is known to take a couple of rounds to get into the fight and Zuniga is known to be a very good starter. Who knows...maybe Bute will be carrying some niggles at the back of his mind into the ring...Zuniga could act as if this is the continuation of the Andrade fight...Bute's just been blitzed and Andrade (Zuniga) is just coming in for the kill. :good

    I don't see Zuniga as a particulary fast starter,I think he is constant all threw out the fight.Actually he started slow as hell with Zertuche who boxed his ears off and Inkin did decent himself.Sure you can say he started good with Pavlik but that was a lucky shot.

    That kind of scenario would certainly make for an exciting fight. I've said all along that Zuniga's best shot would be to try and turn this into a war of attrition on the inside. I think Bute has the right skills at a high enough level to prevent that, but it would certainly be fun to watch both guys working their asses off to try and do what they do best. The only way this will be boring is if Zuniga totally blows it. If Z brings his "A" game, it should be a fun fight to watch.

    If Bute gets past Zuniga and Andrade gets past Tsypko, will Bute v. Zuniga II be worthy of one of your amazing threads, BB?;):p

    Good points. In the second Zertuche fight Zuniga took over in the last couple rounds. I still think that with Bute he needs to just go balls out right from the opening bell, because he is not going to win a decison.

    TBH, if Tsypko just fights a tad better than when he "lost" to Lacy in the rematch, I'll see him outpointing Andrade as he has a good chin and good stamina...

    True, true...but if he can start faster, then he should give it a shot. :conf

    If he does that, he's bloody good! Let's not forget that Kessler had good stamina too...but barely kept Andrade off him for 12 full rounds...it won't be easy, Tom!;)
