Oh no!!! The curse!!! :scaredas: If Miranda outboxes Bute the way Hopkins did Pavlik. I think it could be the upset of the year. lol
Anyone have any idea how much money Bute and Miranda are getting for the fight? I've read that Bute will be making his biggest purse so far. Considering he made $900,000 for the Andrade fight. I'm guessing this means he'll probably make a 7 figures payday.

On April 17 in Montreal, where it feels so good, will fight with Edison "Pantera" Miranda in a match that stake is the world champion belt at IBF Super-Middleweight. Because before the last match he has trained in Miami and went very well, Lucian Bute returned. But not because of superstition, as we might think, but because it is too famous in Montreal. "I have a few superstitions, but not for that reason I chose to go back to train in Miami. I came because I felt good, I liked it, conditions are excellent.In Montreal is hard to train, especially since lately I have become more known, the phone rings all the time, friends will go out in town and distract me from training, so I chose to come here, away from the world, no phone, no nothing because we have a very difficult match. Miranda is a boxer who hits very hard, has KO punches and for that I must be very well prepared in terms of physical ", we said yesterday, Lucian Bute, who Miami feels exactly like a training camp: "Here in Miami, I'm in a training camp. I have one month and one week they are here and staying for another month. I train every day, twice a day, working with two sparring-partner. Berrio One of them, from which he is world champion belt, and an American. Three times a week are sparring with them, one 8, 12 rounds each. They are in a very good form and here in Miami is perfect. The weather is good, is much sun and you have time and go to the beach, bathing and salt from ocean water helps me a lot. Here are just focused on boxing, eat well , I train well, I have a program that you comply strictly. This is just like a cantonment(training camp) and I need this. The team is vital for a world champion And because lately all things go well, Lucian has an explanation. "All I am going well lately and I think it is owe to both my work and those who helped me and had confidence in me. You can not get to the top if you don't have some people around you. It is difficult without a team. At this level you need a nutritionist, a psychologist, physical preparation, the coach . You always have a team with me, "said Lucian, who works 5 hours every day, every day, without having, at this point, worry about his weight:" After every game I gain 7.8 kg normally my weight is somewhere around 83 Kilograms(the weight he walks at). But that's not a problem for me because before the match, with two to three weeks,I start to lose those kg and make the weight. Immediately after weighing i do recovery to be prepared to fight ", says Lucian, who, on April 10, one week before the great match, will return to Montreal.
