Bute vs. Andrade II

Agree. The first fight was wide for and there's no reason to think that there isn't more inmprovement in Bute than Andrade.

 

Bute UD (Not sure why some are picking Bute to KO the titanium-chinned caveman? ... that would be a huge statement, but I can't see it happening)

If he gets the win here Bute should go after the Stieglitz/Miranda winner for the WBO belt next.

 

Andrade will try for a knock out..Bute will have to be careful early on, after that Bute will simply out-box him for the whole fight and win on points..Wouldn't mind seeing Dawson-Bute next..

 

I think some people think more about Bute Shot to the body!Bute's clan won't accept Andrade to wear his short so high in the rematch so Bute body shot could be a major factor! Did Andrade got an Iron liver to?

 

absoltely agree with all of this, since everyone else is wrapped up in the supersix.

 

The titanium-chinned caveman did show some compassion and didn't kill Bute in the last round. The 12 round was a disgrace for boxing with the ridiculous count

 

I would just love to see The Time Collecter win this one.

Winning formula, pressure and pressure every round, every minute, every second and aloud to fight at the inside.

 

Maxime, Maxime, Maxime.....:nono

 

Could it be that he put money on an Andrade KO that is worth quite a nice chunk of change....

 

I could see how some might back Andrade in the rematch. IF he can successfully apply pressure the second time better he may wear Bute down around 10 instead of 12.

That said, boxers usually do better in the rematch. Andrade will not be bringing anything Bute hasn't seen from the first fight.

 

That's what he was saying in another thread. I'm afraid he may be right, Andrade charge will be tough to stop this time, he know he can wear down Bute and this could be his last shot at a title, cuz if he lose, Andrade will become a high risk, low reward gatekeeper.

 

my heart says andrade, my head says bute.

 

I'm the exact opposite.

 

A Bute victory wouldn't be surprising in theleast but I took Andrade at +300 I think it is worth a shot. If he loses, he will likely lose 10 of 12 rounds, if he wins, it could be a stoppage at anytime but I took "to win" just in case because maybe Bute maybe Bute fights such a negative fight this time and Andrade is so much more aggressive that Andrade starts to take rounds, gets a KD at some point and finds himself winning a decision in Canada. My wild guess (hope) is Andrade by KO round 5. I wouldn't call it a prediction though because a Bute win is likely. But I bet on Andrade.

Besides the odds I like the ref in this one. I also like that Andrade is a GBP fighter, and they are promoting the event. And that Ross Greenburg isn't going to want another boring sequel to a Showtime fight that he paid tons more than they did for. Therefore, even though they have a bigger ring this time, I'm expecting some fireworks, meaning, the ref won't allow excessive holding.

Otherwise we will be stuck with Kellerman going into the basement pulling out all his boxing history references and the entire HBO audience will yawn collectively.
