HELLLLL NO YOU AGAIN, ok go tell Andrade he has to box for 12 rounds to win a boxing match not only 3 rounds. And when you can knock the guy out, dont wait at 2:53 of round 12, GOT IT! Ohh and for the real man pride, you seem to know a lot about this....''dropped the belt in disgust''....you must be a very proud man but, not a smart one. Name just one controversial fight in recent years where the champion has dropped the belt in DISGUST. Please just go to the lounge and continue your talk on football and let the real boxing fan discuss.
By the way Lacy should have let the win to Tsypko because any real man should have done this right? Tsypko will be a good fight and is the higher ranked fighter in the IBF. After that, Bute must rematch Andrade and beat him fair and square.
It could also mean an IBF Title Eliminator between Andrade and Bika/Berrio![/quote] Its true! And Andrade vs Bike could be VERY entertaining. Bika and Andrade are both very strong and tough. Its a perfect match in term of boxing style.
Tsypko? Works for me. Better than Larson, Brinkley or anyone else not named Taylor, Kessler, Froch, Andrade,Pascal or Dirrell.
I think Tsypko is kind of being shafted in this thread. He's underrated. Not a world beater but definitely a game turkey as they would say. Then again you might be able to say about Larsen.
As Tsypko is the highest IBF rated opponent and Andrade the second one, I would be happy if Bute could fight both fighters.
There was no pure bid last week even if it was scheduled. The fight Andrade-Tsypko fight maybe almost settled. But since Tsypko works with Saeurland who has the right to chose a top 15 opponent to face Bute, and since Larsen wants too much cash, Wilfred can decide to pick Tsypko to face Bute right away. This way, Tsypko doesn't have to face Andrade and go directly in the championship fight. Of course, we are all speculating because there is not much real info available.
Bute has said many times that he wants a rematch and it will happen. Even if he didn't want to fight Andrade he would have no choice since there is a 99% Andrade will be his mandatory challenger this summer. If Bute drops his belt to avoid fighting Andrade later this year. Come back to me.
I hope so. First fight was entertaining and Bute really needs to go the full 12 this time to silence any doubts.
Andrade is coming. It's pretty common that rematches are not organized back to back. That's not ducking.
