    Berrio and Bute - two fighters who have not had it easy growing up - they are both hungry for success!:yep

    Supernaturals are intimidating. Look at Guzman's alpha male gaze in my avatar, that has Pac and Roach not wanting any part of him.:D

    A Canadian ref and one of the judges is also Canadian.:roll: :-(
    I know this won't have any impact on this particular fight, but it should still be avoided. It reminds me of how Ottke sometimes had a German judge at his title fights.

    I read an article...maybe posted here...that said that Berrio's team was happy with the judges...but I agree with you...a Championship fight in the backyard of the Contender should have judges from outside the Contender's home country.

    ALEJANDRO BERRIO: Hard puncher who will risk everything - he will either win or lose by KO.


    Alejandro Berrio Interview:


    Alejandro, all the bookies make Lucian the odds on favourite...

    It means nothing to me. I am used to fighting in the opponents back yard and winning. This is exactly what happend in my last two fights against American Mack and German Stieglitz - I KOed them!


    You have the reputation of being tough ! Do you like to live dangerously in the ring?

    I am astough as the life I have been living! I come from a poor family from Cartagena and my first training sessions I did hungry and barefoot. I was suffering seeing my mother get up at 4 am to go and wash clothes. Her hands were the only family source of income. Now, it is my hands who support everyone!


    If you lose your belt, could you start from scratch again?

    I won't lose it! I cannot afford to leave it in Montreal. I have three children at home, aged 9, 8 and 4 and that belt is their future!


    Your manager is stirring up trouble saying he would wish the judges to be fair...

    There will be just us two in the ring. If I am better, I cannot see how the juges will be able to stop me. Bute is not unbeatable.


    Will the fight last less than 12 rounds?

    Only God knows that!

    "Berrio would probably like the fight to take place in a phonebox - to cut off the space to allow him to hit as hard as possible. We have a surprise strategy in store for him." - Stephane Larouche (Bute's trainer)

    (again, I apologise for the translation...)
