FINAL and OFFICIAL: Lucian Bute v. Librado Andrade - Fri, 24th Oct, on Showtime!

About 2 weeks left....can't wait
GO BUTE!!!

 

I think Bute will win a UD but an upset isn't out of the question if Bute can't adjust to the pressure that Andrade will apply all night long.

 

Having seen Bute and Andrade fight, Bute wins this one. I've put by KO but it's only wishfull thinking. I really think it's going the distance.

Though mark my words, Andrade's words after the fight will be : "DAMN, he hits WAY harder then Kessler"

 

Like Bute said,Andrade is too slow on his feet and really hasn't got the true skills to beat Bute.

 

I also think that Bute is too mobile for Andrade but Andrade did improved since the Kessler fight so I think he will make it closer but still lose something like 116-112.

 

I think Andrade's pressure and workrate will prove too much for Bute leading to an upset.

Andrade will take an early lead because Bute starts slowly.

Bute will then start boxing and moving in the mid-rounds with some success.

In the third quarter, slightly behind on the cards, Andrade will start forcing Bute into a very exciting fight at close quarters. I can see either fighters knocking the other down at this stage in a toe-to-toe all-out-action fight.

With a draw on the cards, in the last part of the fight, Andrade will weaken Bute too much and Bute will fight to survive. A late rally from Andrade leads to a TKO.

Andrade TKO 12

Great fight. Can't wait to see it.

 

Solid card all-around :

No way man:shock: :shock: :shock: :admin :admin :admin ,Andrade has 8:admin :admin :admin inches in reach?Really?

 

Bute by wide decision over limited opponent.

Andrade is a C level fighter with a good beard.

His only hope is for Lucian to gas late, as Andrade does not even have real KO power. He can stop opponents late if they run out of gas, on accumulation; that is his only chance here.

 

I think he is kinda B- but not C

 

Bute to squeez a a very close points win. By all accounts, it will be the second half of this fight where the fireworks go off. Unless either man decides to put his foot on the gas from the opening bell. If Bute racks up a good lead from the first hal of the fight, he'll probably coast the rest of the way. But he will need that lead.

Andrade will, imo, likely score a late knockdown to make this fight closer on the cards. Bute has shown a decent chin so far, but I feel that when he's tired late on he will lose concentration for just a spell and Andrade will catch him nicely.

I hope Bute gets the win. Waiting for a superfight between him and Kessler.

 

Bute will win a decision. He won't dominate like Kessler did, but he will win a pretty clear decision ala 117-111.
