Great interview with Librado Andrade

Some good nuggets for those who can't hear it:

"Tsypko takes a better shot than Bute but Bute is much harder to hit."

"Learning in progress, maybe one day I'll get to the level of Bute and take him out earlier."

Couldn't see after round 11 because he was cut.

He'll probably take another fight before Bute again. Basically sounds like both guys will take tune ups before a rematch.

Reporter- Was it a punch or a butt?
"I think it was a butt. If it was a punch that man it was a good punch."

"I have a lot of problems of my trainings. My elbows hurt really bad and some days I don't feel like training. I hate trainings and I miss my family to be away from them."

"My elbows really hurt a lot."

Probably has some ligament damage?

 

I wonder if he hasn't seen a specialist about that.

He fought well, Tyspko was double tough.

 

Tsypko deserves credit for giving it all he had. It just wasnt enough to get the always aggressive Andrade off of him.

Andrade's uppercut has really become a thing of beauty. I don't think I ever saw it look as good as it did against Tyspko. Perfect placing and everything.

 

Tyspko should be proud of the effort he put in. Most guys feel the accumulative effect of Andrade late on, but I always felt the Ukranian was seeing the final bell. He had that Eastern mentality of standing infront of his opponent no matter what. He took his digs and showed a lot of heart in round 12 when it was obvious he was losing.

I kinda worked out how I expected with Tsypko not quite having either the power or quantity to win rounds nor discourage Andrade and not really the speed or movement to evade Andrade's work. I expected Andrade to stop him late so I was impressed with Tyspko's toughness. He's a good gatekeeper for this division, on a good day he could beat some young pretenders.

 

Tsypko is of tough stock.NO doubt about it! I freely admit that I had underestimated Andrade before yesterday's fight. I had thought that Tsypko could take advantage of Andrade's weak spots beating him by way of point decision.
Andrade proved me wrong!
Props to the classy Mexican!:good

 

If Bute and Andrade take another fight before facing eachother (Andrade may also have to rest in order to stop the elbow injury), what fight do you see for both men?

Bute: if we hear an announcement in the next two weeks, it should be a fight in Quebec city in June. If not, the possibility of facing Taylor if he wins against Froch is real (as Maxime points out now and then). Showtime is willing to pay what it takes to do it. It would be great.

Andrade: after healing his elbow, who next? He will want to face someone who moves like Bute, there are not many, especially southpaws. Who could prepare Andrade for Bute?

 

Andrade! Fast becoming one of my favorite fighters too watch. The man is all heart and a class act, he keeps it real.

 

I originally thought Miranda-Bute and Pascal-Andrade but neither one seems to viable now.

Maybe something like Bute-Dirrell and Inkin-Andrade instead?

 

Andrade is one tuff mofo that doesnt need a bunch of false bravado to pump up his confidence.He tells it like it is and is respectfull of his opponent,and always gives 100% every fight.How can you not like the guy....wish there were more like him

 

great interview. Hes a refreshingly honest guy, and superb to watch. Doubt there can be many haters out there.

 

Awesome Fight!! I loved it!!! Librado is not a great technician, but he is as tough as they come. Very strong individual!! And most important he is smart and a gentleman. You can count me as a fan. (see Puertorricans don't hate Mexicans!!)

Props to the Russian guy too. He wasn't there trying to survive. He was trying to win. Never surrendered!!! He gave Librado a hell of a fight!!!

 

Librado's a great guy and a real tough fighter. Hopefully he gets the rematch with Bute and whoops his ass! :deal

 

Well, in the interview, Andrade says he doesn't want the rematch now. He wants another fight because he considers he still has things to learn before. Message to Bute haters: Lucian is not ducking Andrade.
