Bute- Andrade, who's your pick?

I really wanted to see this fight, but unfortunately I won't.. Should be a good fight though.. By the way, Bute's got some hairy ass arms..

Bute UD Andrade

 

I like Andrade, via TKO in 6.

 

I lean towards Bute.

Used to rate him fairly high because his early resume was pretty impressive, he has pretty good handspeed and a good workrate. I saw glimpses of a poor man's Joe.

But I reckon he has plateued a bit now, since he has stepped up to live opponants he has looked decent but not much more. His D is a little pourous as the fight wears on but doesnt seem to have any chin issues.

Andrade is going to seriosuly test him, he is as big and will give him no quarter. Looking forward to it.

 

Bute by close decision in the toughest fight of his life!

 

this is a tough fight to pick... I'm going to have to take the over on this one at 10.5. Bute beat Bika better than Joe C did so i wouldn't say he is a poor man's version. Hell he might beat Joe C.

 

Andrade by mid KO.

 

Bute by comfortable decision. 8 rounds to 4 or 7-5 perhaps. Andrade is a joy to watch and apparently a fantastic guy, but the talent of Bute will be the difference. I look for Bute to really step up after this fight. A couple years ago i thought of him as the best prospect in boxing and it's time for him to make his mark. Should be an entertaining fight and I look forward to watching it.

 

Andrade, but if Bute get his footwork, jab, upper body movement and great straight left going he could turn the tide. But I predict a storm from the get go, and Bute doesn't seem to be comfortable with that. I have heard that Bute has trained alot to avoid his former mistakes, but lets see.

As it is, due to style: Early TKO Andrade, before Bute gets it going.

 

It could go in a number of different ways.

Bute could dominate (and maybe even stop Andrade). This could happen - remember that Ottke stopped Mundine. Now Bute hits harder than Ottke, but Andrade has better chin than Mundine, but it could happen. And Bute dominating until then could also happen as Bute with his superior speed and technique should be expected to win if it goes to the score cards.

Close fight that goes either way. Bute may have been down a couple of times but have won most of the first 6-8 rounds.

Andrade wins a clear but relatively close UD. Bute won the first 4 rounds. Andrade KDs Bute in round 5 and wins a 10-8 round. Andrade then wins 5 of the last 7 rounds with a KD in round 10.

Andrade wins by KO. This imo. will happen late if it happens. After round 7.
