    will Bute show any after effects from the Andrade fight? Will Zuniga keep this fight competitive into the championship rounds? Bute is the bigger guy and a more complete boxer, but Zuniga has a ton of world class experience. I am looking forward to this bout.

    Most importantly, who the hell is the referee?

    Recently saw Pavlik vs Zuniga and if Zuniga has as much left as he did then he will trouble Bute and if he doesen't then Bute is something really special

    I'm expecting an unspectacular lopsided decision win for Bute. I hope I'm wrong and it turns out to be a better fight than that.

    I agree with the pain and the KO :good

    But I see an earlier ending, because Mr Z is much smaller in both height and size, much less mobile, way slower and has a weak defense that make him easy for Bute to hit on target. As long as Lucian stays away from the wide bombs of Zuniga ( not even close to the ones Berrio tried on Lucian ), he should make a clear statment on his Champ status.

    Peace and good fight everyone.

    I think Zungia Has a good chance at the upset. but I gotta pick Bute with great movement and activity and am sure he'll move more, less trading. = Boring Fight

    I expect Bute to get KOed unless they have another hometown referee to let him keep his paper belt.

    I think I saw 20 of the 23 fights of Bute's career and I' m still waiting for the first boring fight. Bute can move AND punch. That's what he'll do Friday. The fight will be boring for Zuniga's fans.
