    You might have to hurry to get the $50 or $55 tickets, but about a week before the fight, I could still find $75 tickets for sale on the official ticket office website...:huh

    I'll probably wind up getting nice seats as it is. If they go down ro $50, I will likely wind up paying around $200 for decent seats.

    Interesting boxing stance, good control of the distance and the ring space, good timing and fast hands with str8 and curved shots out of the southpaw guard, seems to have the smarts so that someone else doesn't dictate the pace for him. Joppy is an intelligent technician even if he's not a natural SMW. That must be a tough guy to beat, Bute. Thank You for the link.

    Bute is still learning and developing...a good couple of fights before we can say we've seen the best of him, I think. Next year...

    He needs defence, because it seems he lacks elite level power that could dig him out of a fight with a guy with a good chin.

    Yeah...Joppy tagged him well a few times in the 3rd and 4th, applying pressure. This is what Andrade will do, but for 12 rounds! His defence was a bit better this time around, compared to Berrio and Bika. Jab helped with defence too, but he has a long way to go...

    Ouch, Joppy realistically should have been executed in rounds 2-4 with ease. It was a bit better likely because Joppy is not as good as Bika and Berrio, as he's shot.

    Andrade will not only be applying pressure, but will be throwing punches and Bute lacks the movement and the power to really stall Andrade out like Kessler did. Andrade, despite having slow hands, has relatively light feet even with horrible footwork. A strange, sloppy, but effective pressure fighter that Bute isn't prepared for.

    Andrade likely chops him down with body work and finishes him 8-10. Stay away from Andrade, fight Mundine.

    Andrade will be mandatory if he beats Stieglitz. There's no avoiding him. Bute is planning to defend against him in autumn. I am very much lookin forward to this fight!:D

    If Bute doesn't drastically improve in that amount of time, then he gets his ass handed to him. Nothing to look forward to for Bute fans.

    It'll boost Andrade way up in the rankings and regard after he starches Stieglitz and Bute, if you like Andrade I guess.:!:

    What I really wanted was Andrade vs. Taylor.
