    Andrade is Bute's mandatory. Bute is out injured; we'll come back in 6 weeks. Cannot squeeze a voluntary in between, so Andrade in autumn is his next fight.

    Excellent, I'll be looking forward to that one

    I like Bute against the pressure fighters, he was good against Berrio and Bika (although he's somewhat different)

    Andrade is a step up again though. Will be interesting to compare Bute against Kessler's domination of Andrade, that will give a great indication as to where he is at

    Very tough fight for Bute...Andrade is very much the wrong style for him. I'm taking Bute but give Andrade about 40% of winning.

    I see it the other way. I think Bute will put down a marker in this fight, and pretty much school him. Not as badly as Kessler, but schooled all the same :yep

    Although Kessler's footwork was outstanding in that fight, Andrade admitted as much. Bute's isn't quite as good, that could make a big difference against a guy like Andrade :huh

    I say 8-4, or 9-3 Bute!

    No...very hard fight for Bute because of styles...his hardest by far...Andrade brings constant, relentless pressure and that loopy right that Bute can be hit with; Bute cannot hurt Bute, or slow him down...Andrade can win this!

    No way!

    What happened to your confidence in Bute, is it dwindling? :bart

    Not at all...but it's just styles...you know...:D

    Watch more Andrade and more Bute and you will see for yourself.

    I am not sure how Froch would fare against Froch yet - let's wait for Inkin...but Taylor has a great jab...and he moves well...

    Andrade probably is too tough for Taylor...Andrade TKO
    Mundine probably beats Taylor close UD
    Bute beats Taylor by TKO

    If Froch beats Inkin, without Inkin's chin being the main reason why he won, he'll go up in my esteem a lot; if Inkin is indeed chinny...Froch would still have a lot to prove - let's see how Froch deals with Inkin until the stoppage.

    Pretty much agreed other than I don't see Froch getting stopped by Bute, more likely decision, and I believe he could beat Taylor

    Taylor could beat Andrade if he fought as he did in Pavlik II, otherwise he gets KTFO.

    Bute would land just too much on Froch and his footwork would get him out of trouble when Froch tried to attack...it's not a chin problem; it's a defence problem on top of styles. But yeah, if Bute doesn't go full out or if he wants to counterpunch more, whilst minimising risks...wide UD. Of course, if Froch gets too aggressive, Bute will land even more, and I'd go for the TKO again.

    Taylor doesn't have enough power to stop Andrade in his tracks sufficiently, the way Kessler did, for example. His jab is great, but...not strong enough, I don't think. If I was to bet, I wouldn't bet on Taylor in this one.

    He must have snapped the wish bone at dinner with his boyfriend and won. What a dreamer

    Hennessy Sports fighters at it again.

    Talking shite.

    That said, I would fancy Froch against any super middle other than Kessler.
