Will he announce that he either gives Andrade the belt Librado won. OR Will he announce a rematch taking place in California (NOT Canada again, no matter where the ref this time is from!). OR Will he just say "too bad, you may get a rematch at some timne, but right now I will fight whoever my trainers put in front of me (the classical - "don't look at me, I am just acting on orders"- way to push the blame around). ? ... I hope ... hope .... to see his image somewhat resurrected. But, we will see.
Might be a bit more complicated then that. Bute has to defend against some dude from Germany in his next fight. it was part of his contract when he fought Berrio. But I hope he gives credit to Andrade and give him a rematch ASAP.
I see a Mandatory, then a rematch. These guys are friends and if Bute has the class he showed during the entire promotion of the fight, he will rematch after he gets done with the mandatory.
He can say, "I did not win that fight. Andrade is the new champ". Andrade has one mandatory and then they can do a rematch. But will he say that?
When Bute was interviewed by the Showtime guys after the fight and asked him if he would give Andrade a rematch, Bute clearly says that he'll fight anybody and would give Andrade a rematch. Atleast you have to commend him for that.
I'm fairly certain you can't just award the title to someone else. They didn't even let Andre the Giant give Ted Dibiasie the title in WWWF.... and this is boxing, its actually real.
