    I am glad that people think realise this fight is going to be worthwhile and not discounting Andrade's chances because of the way Kessler managed to deal with him.

    Or maybe your overrating Kesslers power. We thought the same thing about Mayorga after his fight with Forrest, only to see him get whacked out by Tito and Oscar.

    However you do make some decent points. Bute does seem to freeze up abit, but the gap in talent is sooo wide I just cant see him being Bute. If Bute fights somewhat smart and dont just stand in front of Andrade the way the last guy did he will be fine and win easy, something like 118-110

    Andrade although limited is hard as **** which appeals to me.

    Tough fight for Andrade with Bute's speed and movement, but if he can cut him off and draw him into a battle then i could see Bute getting hurt in the exchanges.

    Nice to see that both fighters are equally well liked and supported. It's going to be a close fight too, so...even better.

    Good luck to both!:thumbsup

    One thing is sure: That fight will also be the battle between local trainers - Howard Grant vs Stephane Larouche. In fact, both trainers will take care of the build up. Both have bad blood. Once the fight will be confirmed, the sparks will begin. As an opponent's trainer, Grant knows Bute like no one else for having seen him boxing live since his pro debut. Andrade will be perfectly prepared for that fight.

    It will also be the battle between two local stables - GYM vs Interbox. Yes Andrade is with GBP, but he's training in GYM's facilities and sparring with GYM's boxers including Jean Pascal.

    Conclusion: That fight should draw nearly 18 -20K people in the Bell Center.

    By the way, Bute should win wide UD because of his handspeed and movements.

    Yes exactly. I love LIbrado Andrade. I remember him as a very nice person, when he was in Denmark.

    I never forget his remarks after he lost to Kessler. In the post fight interview on HBO with Max Kellerman he said:

    "It is great being around all these people. I am a time collecter; and this is a great time to collect"

    I like Bute. But i love Andrade.

    no doubt Bute can box,and maybe not exactly borring but he lacks some carisma i think.

    Andrade-Bute looks to me like Gatti-Mayweather. Some people thought (i was hoping that too) Gatti could win. But in boxing, speed is almost everything. I like Andrade very much, I agree what he said in Denmark (time collector) was so beautiful I was almost crying (really). But he will get a boxing lesson, wordt than againt Kessler, because Bute is much more complete than Mikkel.
