Lucian Bute vs Librado Andrade

Bute wide. Andrade is way more limited than people here make him out to be. In most weight classes, he'd be a gatekeeper. The only reason he's top 10 at 168 is because the weight class is ridiculously weak after the top 3 guys (Kessler, Taylor, Bute) right now.

 

Bute should be able to replicate what Kessler did to Andrade from the outside but I think Bute needs to sometimes hold Andrade in this fight when he'll be trying to establish himself on the inside ! That's not Bute's style though...

 

Kessler had to work like a beast to beat Andrade, so if Bute wins he's good.

 

Andrade's chances are in the first few round. If he does not make anything of it Bute will find is number.

 

Andrade is sloppy as all hell.

 

Where do you get that. Hes is always active and seems to have improved since Kessler. He sure as hell deserves a title shot. He is trained by Howard Grant now, who is good at improving fighters defenses.

I think this will be a very good fight, but Bute natural intelligence in the ring should prevail.

I will be there in person and i am expecting to get my moneys worth.

 

OK. I've seen him fight once and he fought like an ape but still KO'd the guy in the late rounds if memory serves me correct. I guess in other fights he probably looked like Pernell Whitaker, right?

 

Of course not, but is shot are not as wide as they used to be.

 

Nah.

Let's say Taylor or Bute is the third-best SW.

You think the third best MW or LMW could beat any of them? I don't think so. SMW is 3rd or 4th best division today.

 

The few people that don't know
Andrade well enough can look at Margo. They have the same strategy - which basically is "let's get it on". Andrade looks for the KO at least once every 10 seconds, which is why the opponnt has to be very sharp all te time or ...

 

i just wanna see Andrade do another backflip off the top rope!
