    That's what I'm talking about !

    THE BEST MATCHUP POSSIBLE IS INDEED BUTE VS KESSLER

    AND WE SHOULD SEE THAT HAPPENING IN EARLY 2009 :good

    Bute vs Kessler is the fight at 168 but first thing is first,Andrade for Lucian and Haussler for Mikkel than they should unify.The fight should be in USA not Canada,Romania or Denmark

    It can be held wherever people are interested to buy it. USA is not yet the place to be for either boxers, but it could all change soon. All I know is that we will be in for quit a fight. And you are right, it has to take place in a neutral place so there's no bias as far as judges are concerned.

    This is going to be an awesome awesome fight.

    I figured Bute would earn a clear coasting decision win over a game Andrade in a great fight...but then Cotto-Margarito has created a stigma on this fight for me.

    I think Andrade takes somewhat of an upset by TKO in a great fight.

    You can't compare Cotto to Bute in any ways, the biggest difference is that Bute is very hard to hit solid when Cotto has the habit to stop punches with his face. Bute moves in and out and he's able to connect at a very high percentage with both hands. While Andrade, whom I respect and like has a man and a boxer, is unidimentionnal. He puts pressure and always moves forward, plus he has a granit chin. That's it!

    You won't see Andrade dance around his opponent, use his quick feet to get inside, or back out of reach. He just stands there and trows slow heavy shots, so maybe if Bute is snoozing in the most important fight of his life and gets caught by a wide right from center field. Maybe Andrade has a shot at winning, but to me it's a no brainer, Bute will dominate every rounds and he might even get rid of Andrade before the end.

    When Andrade and Kessler fought, Kessler landed less then 10 body shots for the whole fight, which is about what Bute will land in every rounds on October 24'th right here in Montreal. So, I predict a wide UD in favor of Lucian, and if there is any other possible scenario, it's Andrade going down for the count with a lot of pain to his ribs.

    Absolutely corect but I don't think Bute can KO Librado altough he hit's good to the body but anything is possible

    Cotto is also a better fighter than Lucian. Andrade is vastly underrated.

    I smell a similar reaction to this one that we saw when Cotto lost to Margarito.

    I don't see how Cotto is better, Bute as a zero in the defeat column and he has a higher KO percentage. Plus he's a bigger man and has a great southpaw stance that is very deceiving. So give Lucian 10 more fights and tell me who is the better one.

    Cheers !

    If Bute can keep his IBF belt and Jean Pascal beats Froch for the WBC, then Bute vs Pascal should be the next fight in line for both...

    That will be good too but the biggest fight at 168 would be Bute vs Kessler
