    Zuniga ne craint pas Bute
    Denis Poissant
    Le Journal de Montréal
    Boxe

    Le prochain adversaire de Lucian Bute, le Colombien Fulgencio Zuniga, déborde de confiance à deux semaines de son deuxième combat de championnat du monde en carrière.

    Il termine sa préparation cette semaine au New Jersey et arrivera à Montréal dimanche soir prochain.

    Zuniga entend rapporter chez lui la couronne de champion du monde de la IBF chez les Supers-moyens. «Je m'entraîne fort et je trime dur. C'est un privilège de se battre en combat de championnat du monde ! Je travaille très fort au gymnase pour ramener le titre en Colombie.»

    Zuniga a l'expérience des combats d'envergure. Il s'est mesuré à Kelly Pavlik, qu'il a envoyé au plancher dès le premier round, puis à Daniel Santos (champion du monde de la WBA des Super Mi-moyens), et il a mis fin aux espoirs de Victor Oganov boxeur, gaucher invaincu, de connaître une grande carrière internationale. Il a passé le KO à ce dernier en direct sur Showtime.

    Le vendredi 13 mars au Centre Bell, Fulgencio Zuniga tentera encore une fois de devenir champion du monde.

    Décision controversée

    Le 27 septembre 2008, en Allemagne, il est monté dans l'arène contre Denis Inkin pour tenter de mettre la main sur la ceinture de la WBO des Super-moyens, combat qu'il a perdu dans une décision controversée. «J'ai eu seulement 13 jours d'avis pour ce combat. J'étais au Canada à l'entraînement avec Lucian Bute. Mon promoteur m'a appelé pour m'annoncer que je me battrais en championnat du monde dans deux semaines.»

    En raison de problème de visa, il est arrivé en Allemagne seulement six jours avant le combat et il a été affecté par le changement d'heure.

    «Je ne pouvais pas dormir avant 4 ou 5h le matin. Je me relevais à 8h afin de m'entraîner et perdre l'excès de poids. J'étais loin de la limite du 168 lbs ! Malgré tout ça, je suis convaincu que j'ai gagné le combat contre Inkin du premier au dernier round. J'ai tout donné pour lui passer le KO, mais il a tout encaissé. Il a sorti de ce combat avec le visage tout brisé. Ce combat je l'ai gagné ! Malheureusement, les juges n'ont pas vu le même combat...»

    Zuniga should not have Inkin on his mind all the time like this. He should forget that fight and think about his next one, which comes very soon!

    Bute promo finally starts tonight. He's supposed to be on a reality show called Star academy. He will be "training" wannabe singers, for their workout, not their singing! It's TVA network big show. Over a million people each night, which is big in Quebec as we're only 7 millions people. TVA broadcasts all Bute fights.

    Thanks, laffie.

    Is Bute taking this fight seriously? (more or less seriously than the Joppy fight?):huh

    I suppose it's fair to be aired first on your broadcaster biggest tv show. Last time, he made a tour with Andrade, chummy-chummy. I hated that. It was too far in the friendship thing. He also had at many times a documentary crew with him. We didn't see Bute very much these past 2 months. Bute is usually a very serious man, whoever his opponent is.

    Bute and Andrade might be fairly close given the controversy and all that, but do you think they like each other?

    They were close before the fight, telling how they were appreciating eachother. I don't think they are anymore.

    This video is awesome,just watched it myself,with Larouche,Gaudet,Bute,Diaconu etc.I always liked the Interbox gym,very big and with cool posters of the guys everywhere.
    Something I noticed,Diaconu speaks good english but no french(as far as I know) and Bute the opposite,interesting.;)
    I must say they both look pretty big still.
    And who is the guy with the goatee training in the gym.

    :lol:

    I don't think they ever were.

    Andrade wants to be friends with everyone but now he feels like a spurned lover - Bute destroyed his dream by not getting KOed.

    Bute...well...I think he is weary of people getting under his skin, despite his friendly and open demeanor. He certainly doesn't like being friends with his opponents, it seems...but...with Andrade...he acted differently at the end of the fight. He usually ignores his opponent at the end, but not this time...:huh

    I know Bute is returning the favor at TVA but it's a waste of time to do the Star Academy show, with those wannabe singers...:nut

    And you can mesure the love of the Quebec people by the fact that Lucian has tried to learn french (actually, he's pretty good for someone who wasn't raise in that language) as for Diaconu is less popular here.

    I'm pretty sure that Howard Grant (Andrade's trainer) is gonna put in Andrade head that it's not fighting a friend but an enemy. Let's see him in round one of the rematch!:yep

    Right, and tonight he was with Quebec city's mayor and was doing the protocolar face off at a hockey game there. I thought he was supposed to get alone until Friday.
