If everything goes as planned. It will happen this summer or at the latest this fall. There will be a purse bid soon for the Andrade-Tsypko fight with the winner getting a shot at Bute. If logic is respected. Bute will win against Zuniga and Andrade will beat Tsypko. Paving the way to the much anticipated rematch! Bute-Andrade II I can't wait!
Well hope thing's work out just find and like you said can't wait for this fight thank's for the info
Right now, it looks like it's 90% sure BUTE will face Zuniga in March ! Andrade if he wins his eliminator, will get Bute again by the end of 2009 !!
Why not? The judges scores were ok. You know, the referee, like it or not, had been accepted by Andrade's team because he was a personnal friend of Howard Grant, Andrade's coach. They will choose a ref together, and that's it. Unfortunately for Andrade, I don't think he can pack an arena like Bute does. Anyway, maybe GBP will want to put big cash on the fight and organize it in USA.
Looking forward to this fight, it should happen this year as both men get past their respective mandatories. Im hoping Adrade improves a bit with his application of pressure and cutting off the ring, better ring generalship.
I was mixed on the ending. On one hand, it was the end of a championship fight, but damned, I did fear for Bute's health at the end. I haven't rewatched it yet though. I may change my mind. Maybe twice.
