    You have to respect a guys opinion thats shared a ring with them. I wouldn't be surprised if Kessler is still a major factor in this thing against more basic opposition.

    He will be a major factor again I'm sure... That last loss was his wake up call.

    Kessler have a better jab (does he still have one...) that's about it. Bute is superior every where else.

    Many people haven't really followed Bute besides the last Andrade bout...

    He has one of the best left hook to the body in boxing right now. That's a punch he didn't use last bout cause his staff were saying it would have been pointless with Andrade having the protection under his pants as high as it was...

    It is something that apparently has been taken car of for this fight...

    Nothing works better against a brawler and a stalker than effective work to the body. It will be the key for Bute to establish that from the very beginning. He needs to land that hook every round as far as I'm concerned.

    I don't know how Andrade compares both boxers because Andrade is now 2x a better boxer and 2x more preprared for his fights with Bute than he was against Kessler back in 2007. And he's the one who said this. And I gotta agree. Andrade is definitely a better boxer right now.

    And if Andrade loses this Saturday, he'll say afterward that Bute is a great fighter and should be the favorite if he was in the Super 6.... lol.

    Aside from the 12th round, I thought Bute looked more impressive than Kessler against Andrade. Bute was trully putting on a clinic until LA started to figure him out. Bute also looked gassed out in the 12th.

    everytime Andrade hit Bute, Bute hugged him, sometimes grabbing his leg in desperation. Andrade said after & i know... that Bute doesnt take a punch too well.

    Butes a knock-out waiting to happen once he fights the next level. (if he fights the next level! ).

    This was only the case during the last round. Bute was gassed due to overstretching himself in the prior rounds and because he was starting to get caught as Andrade was getting desperate. You're clearly not familiar with the other 11 rounds were Bute basically toyed with Andrade and was wiping the floor with him on every single exchange. He was light years faster, more accurate and clearly the more talented fighter.

    Bute's coach said yesterday he had an extra protector, in case Andrade has another illegal one. I remember very well a body shot, it was around the 9th round I think, where Andrade stopped going forward. It seemed to hurt him. Since Bute added 2 kg of muscles to his legs and arms, since Andrade will wear a normal protector, I expect that Bute will go more to the body. I also expect that he won't run as people expect. Andrade will have a very tough night, hitting air and being countered very solidly. He won't be the stronger man at the end this time.
