    Nice one, laffie! Good decision! This is what I'd have done as well...buy the cheap seat, watch on the big screen and enjoy the atmosphere! The fans were amazing, again! Bute is very, very lucky to have you! :happy

    Let's hope Bute and Stephane find a way to get past Andrade! :)

    Good fight for Lucian!

    even if im a big Bute fan i thought Zuniga will last longer but Lucian got the blue print on smaller opponent!

    with this win Bute getting closer and closer to Kessler level , Kessler got adavantage but the poor opposition that Palle teams offer him is ruin him slowly!

    Cant wait till the Andrade reamtch but will probably see another Bute fight this summer before the rematch!

    Andrade? :lol::lol::lol:

    This was a great win for the confidence level of Bute. It was also a very good/great performance in the ring for Lucian.

    Problem is it doesn't do anything in terms of Andrade (who he'll likely face if he beats Tsypko) who will still be a massive skeleton in Bute's closet until he beats him.

    Great fight by Bute ! Hope that Andrade wins so we can have Andrade-Bute II in a crowded Bell Center.

    I picked Bute between 5-8, damn, he could've waited one more round for me! I mean what was he thinking? :D

    I though Lucian will come back with a bang to make a statement, but **** that was some comeback! Amazing victory. Zuniga knocked Pavlik down and had a very close one vs. Inkin, but he was absolutely no match to Bute.

    Great champion, should be now ranked ahead of Kessler.

    Maybe you are right. But dominating fight with controversial ending vs. Andrade and complete blowout vs. Zuniga is better than Sartison, Haussler, and Palle, and I'm not sure he's going to beat the last one.

    Just to show how class act Interbox and Bute are.

    They accepted to help a rival promoter (ChoKo Boxing) by distributing flyers to the +12 000 fans present at the Bute-Zuniga fight to help promote the April 4th boxing card showcasing Bradley-Holt and Andrade-Tsypko.

    The tickets sells have been really bad for that show and the local promoters, even if Choko is one of their Rivals, do not want to see this show fail. It would look really bad for the reputation of the city.

    Choko boxing has zero experience and the promotion of this fight was flawed from the beginning. I bought my tickets cause i'm a hardcore fan but I'm not very surprised that ticket sales are low.

    I don't see why its bad for the reputation of the city as long as the rights from Showtime cover the salaries of the fighters. What's bad for the city is if Choko boxing can't pay the fighters.

    Also i don't see this is Interbox and Bute being class since they want to fight Andrade later in the year. The more people see Andrade fight, the more people will want to see Bute vs Andrade. They are doing it out of self-interest! Class has nothing to do with it.
