Full article in romanian here!

"Au vrut să amâne meciul"
Ce a fost la primul meci cu Andrade? Ultima repriză ai stat la bătaie şi era să pierzi...
Am rămas în faţa lui pe un fond de epuizare fizică. N-am spus niciodată ce s-a întâmplat cu adevărat atunci, pentru că nu voiam să fiu acuzat că îmi caut scuze...

"They wanted to postpone my fight"

What happened in the first Andrade fight? In the last round u fought him face to face and were about to lose...
I was standing in front of him because I was exhausted. I never told what happened for real back then because I didn't want to be accused of looking for excuses



Ce s-a întâmplat de fapt?
La sfârşitul lunii august am întrerupt pregătirea pentru meciul cu Andrade şi am plecat în România, la nunta surorii mele mai mici. Asta m-a dat din start peste cap. Oboseală, avioane, fus orar şi o altă alimentaţie.

What did actually happen?
At the the end of August I interrupted my training for the Andrade fight and left to Romania for my little sister's wedding. This threw my over from the beginning. Fatigue, airplanes, time zone changes and a different nutrition.



În maximum o săptămână de la reintrarea în program, toate acestea se recuperează...
Nu a fost doar asta. Când am ajuns la Montreal am făcut indigestie. Nu mai eram bun de nimic. Slăbeam fără să fac nimic.Ajunsesem la 78 de kilograme, în timp ce eu aveam în perioada respectivă de pregătire, în mod normal, 82-83 de kilograme. Eram vlăguit, luam lovituri la sparring. Am luat trei zile de pauză, timp în care mi-am făcut toate analizele. Mi-au găsit un virus la stomac, luat în perioada când am fost în România.

But... in maximum one week from reentering your program u should have recovered...
It wasn't only that, When I reached Montreal, I got food poisoning. I was no longer good for anything. I would loose weight without doing anything. I reached 78 kg, during my training I was at 82-83 kg. I felt drained, had no power, was getting hit during sparring. I took three days off, and went to do all my blood work. They found a virus in my stomach that I got infected with during the period I was in Romania.



A existat riscul de a fi amânat meciul?
Doctorul care m-a consultat i-a sugerat asta lui Stephane Larouche. Am refuzat însă eu. Am spus că voi boxa aşa, pentru că erau mai mulţi factori în joc. În primul rând, nu voiam să apar neserios în faţa celor de la Showtime, care au produs primul meci cu Andrade. Apoi, îl văzusem pe Librado, ştiam că pot să-l bat chiar şi aşa. Pe lângă zilele pierdute, mi-am mai luat o săptămână de pauză, în care am făcut acupunctură.

Was there a risk to postpone the fight?
The doctor that consulted me, suggested exactly that to S.Larouche (the trainer). I refused. I said I will box like that, since there were other factors in play. First of all I didn't want to look untrustworthy in front of the Showtime people. Then, I've already watched Librado fight, and I knew I could beat him despite my condition. Beside all the days I had lost, I also took a week off and had acupuncture treatments.

I have good friends that know this guy personally, and the story sticks! I was watching his fight against Andrade in a bar with them... before the fight we all knew it... He'll go through hell that night!
Was Andrade supposed to get that win... maybe yes, maybe no! It was a controversial decision, but given the circumstances .... well ... I'd give it to Bute! :hey

To all the Ward, Dirrell and Froch fans out there... watch out, if you're trying to use Andrade 1 as an argument to prove your boxer's supremacy ... u are in for a big surprise once reality will hit. :nut

IGNORANCE IS BLISS ... but then again u will start looking like an idiot sooner or later ... we don't want that! :nono



Peace!

Never argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

 

Thanks! I love that option, even if many find it controversial. I think the fight will help Bute more than it will help B-Hop... or maybe B-hop is choosing somebody to prove to his inner self that he should STOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!

 

Sorry Bro! This is not the discussion subject! But anyways, I think it could have gone both ways....

 

Whatever makes u happy pal...

 

That pretty much sums it up... just that B-hop proposed 170lb... It looks like he doesn't want Bute's belt, he is curios to see how it would feel to get KOed by Bute???

 

Ok... lets see...
1 or 2... don't mind that
3 I agree, he is cocky as hell ... and cheeky
and for the rest I would say:
4 Kessler ... will see on sat. who takes 3rd place
5 AA
6 Dirrell
7 Andrade
8 Bika
9 Miranda... I will get slammed on this one, but green belongs under Miranda, sorry
10 Green

 

That's a tight fight.... too close to call! :bbb

 

The pleasure is mine

Oh... the ref.... Gimme a sec. I'll watch the round again to refreshen my memory and post back at you :good
