Lucian BUTE vs. Librado ANDRADE - who wins the inevitable rematch?

Well, I'd put it differently: he has no class if he doesn't give Andrade a rematch!

In any case, he will be forced to give him a rematch if Andrade wins his next (eliminator) fight to regain the No.1 challenger position and if Bute gets past Larsen.

I'll be very happy to see the rematch; it just means Bute won't be able to fight a unification match, for example. But hey, who cares, if he'd be ready for that kind of a fight, he'd not have been KDed by Andrade, now, would he? Back to the drawing board for Bute....he needs better defence and even more badly - an inside game.:good

 

I'm pretty sure there will be a rematch because it will bring a lot of money and more experience to Bute. About the unification, I'm not sure it would've been made in 2009, even if Bute wants it. A week before the Andrade match asked Bernard Barré (former recruiter of Interbox who recruited Bute in the amateurs and now recruiter for Groupe Yvon Michel) about an unification with Kessler, he told me that it would not be ASAP, the goal as promoters is to make money (put yourself in promoter's shoes) and it's true. Bute I think is still not ready for Kessler, he needs to gain more experience.

 

True, but I wasn't thinking about Kessler. I was thinking about Bute v. Inkin/Balzsay winner or even Bute v. Froch/Pascal winner.
