    Thanks Decebal. Usually it's in the restaurant La Cage aux sports, the one situated in Le Centre Bell. If it's there, I will try to be there. I have a meeting very near from there. Hopefully, I'll be able to share some facts and impressions with you.

    Agreed. :good

    Kessler-Andrade was a masterpiece performance showing how to tame an opponent with super-physique, chin and heart. Cotto should have watched closely before the Mrgo fight.

    Can Bute do that? Will Bute's stance be a problem for Librado?

    I don't know, but I DO know that this is such a great fight. I'm happy they managed to make it. Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bbb :bbb :bbb

    I was at the weight-in. Both Andrade and Bute did look good. I was sitting just aside of Librado during an interview for a local radio. When asked what was his strategy, he said it was as usual, to fight and make the other fight. I tell you, the guy can not bull****. For those who were afraid Andrade could be diferent in a bad way, don't worry. He will be the same, with a better defensive. Will it be enough? I don't think so. The speed and accuracy of Bute will make Andrade suffer a lot tomorrow night.

    Andrade has matured since he fought Kessler.

    Surely but you can't change radically a boxer when he is 30. Maturing is a good word for Andrade's improvement. The problem for Andrade is that Bute is himself maturing, maybe faster than him. We'll know for sure in one day now.

    Many things we don't know about this match-up, but there are things we do know. One of them is that Bute definitely is faster than Andrade.

    This will be a very hard fight for Bute. I can see Andrade beating Bute up a bit, at times, but no knockdowns from Andrade. If he knocks down Bute, it will most likely be as a resul of accumulation damage - Bute will be finished off, then. Bute could possibly get a KD or even a T/KO on the back of bodyshots, but it's a very small chance. Close but clear UD for Bute in a very tough, competitive fight. If Andrade wins, it's probably going to be on a TKO, late on.

    I have posted my comments on this fight elsewhere - and i hate to repeat myself, even if this seem to be a better thread for it. Hope that is okay, Decebal.
