    Thanks for all the good stuff, Maxime!:good

    One thing I was glad to hear was Larouche talking about Andrade's style, in one of those interviews.

    He said something we rarely talk about here, on ESB: the unique way Andrade uses the space around him when he fights, how confortable he looks fighting and how instinctive and unpredictable his fighting style is. There is a reason this guy's one of the best and it's not down just to him being a punching bag. If he can throw 130 punches a round too, from all angles...you have a problem against him...:think

    :good

    Also, would like to thank everyone else who posted info about the fight here! Thank you very much for keeping the rest of us informed!

    And well done to Tiger for buying a ticket. I'd have gone for the $50 option too!:thumbsup

    I really hope the layoff doesn't affect him(Lucian) but with 166 round of sparring he should be ok

    I read in a romanian paper an article on Lucian,it said he trained 12 weeks for the fight and that he is dissapointed the fight will not be aired in Romania.He said he wants to win every round at the time and if the KO comes it will be ok.Bute also said Andrade is a very nice guy,that he was used with big mouth opponents but Librado isn't like that.Bute also said HE STILL HAS TO LOSE 4,5 KG to make the weight

    Par Jean-Luc Legendre - Le combat de championnat du monde entre Lucian Bute et Librado Andrade vendredi au Centre Bell aura une grande saveur locale.

    On peut presque considérer Andrade comme un montréalais d'adoption, puisqu'il s'entraîne depuis plusieurs semaines déjà aux gymnase des frère Grant, dans la métropole.

    Andrade est un homme simple, un homme vrai, amateur de poésie avec de grandes valeurs familliales. Le boxeur de 30 ans n'a qu'une défaite chez les professionnels. Elle s'est produite lors de son seul combat de championnat du monde. En mars 2007, Mikkel Kessler l'emportait par décision unanime.

    “J’ai appris énormément durant ce combat. Premièrement, je ne m’attendais pas à recevoir autant d’attention avant le combat. Ensuite, j’ai été impressionné par l’ampleur de la foule, ce fut comme un choc pour moi. Troisièmement, Kessler était si motivé et rapide que je ne pouvais l’atteindre”, raconte Andrade avec humilité.

    Vendredi, Andrade sera à nouveau en territoire hostile, en présence d'une foule imposante. Mais cette fois, il ne sera pas en terrain inconnu.


    “J’ai déjà vécu tout ça. En plus, j’étais trop préparé contre Kessler. Je me suis entraîné trop fort. Maintenant, je suis plus détendu”, ajoute Andrade.

    La défaite contre Kessler a été difficile a digérer. Pour relancer sa carrière, il s'est tournée vers le montréalais Howard Grant. Les deux hommes se connaissent depuis qu'Andrade a mis un terme à la carrière de son frère Otis, en avril 2006.

    “Je sens que je fais partie de leur famille et je les aime beaucoup. Je veux apprendre d’eux et je me suis dit pourquoi ne pas apprendre de quelqu’un qui a tenté de me battre. Ils connaissent mes lacunes et ils sont capables de les corriger”, note Andrade.

    Andrade n'est pas du type à se faire des ennemis. Même qu'il a une assez bonne relation avec son prochain adversaire, Lucian Bute.

    “Lucian est un très bon gars. J’ai passé deux belles journées avec lui et il n’y a aucune animosité entre nous. Mais nous savons que nous allons donner notre meilleur une fois dans le ring”, précise-t-il.

    Le 24 octobre, Andrade ne sera pas en terrain inconnu. C’est en compagnie de sa nouvelle famille montréalaise qu’il tentera de devenir champion du monde.

    If Kessler that night haven't performed at 105 % but only 95 %, Kessler could easily have lost. Kesslers footwork won the fight. Andrade chased Kessler for 12 rounds and we/the fans were worried through the hole fight. Andrade, who in his first defeat to a question from the HBO commentator answered, "this is a nice time to collector", won every present danish boxing fans heart and Andrade is now know as "The Time Collector". Before and after the fight Andrade was the nicest bloke - In the fight Andrade was a cruel warrior, who seeked to finish the fight as soon as possible. In the Bute - Andrade fight my heart goes for a Andrade win. The boxing heart wants a Bute - Kessler unification fight. To be honest - i cant comment Bute but i am convinced this will be a hell of a fight! Best of luck "Gentlemens".

    Hey what do you guys think of a not so far in the future bout between Danny Jacobs and Bute? I would love to see that, of course it won't happen anytime soon... or will it?

    It won't happen soon, but it not happening at all is something I disagree with. Why do you think it won't happen?

    That's what I meant,it won't happen soon.Bute will move to LHW by the time Jacobs becomes somebody,plus atthat time it will depend what Jacobs brings to the table.Personally I NEVER can see this fight happening but you never know
