    I hope the fight comes off.

    I'm not saying that Kessler storms away with it in anyway btw. I like Bute, I think he's a good fighter. I reckon Kessler would take it something like 115-113/116-112.

    Should be a great fight if it comes off and will decide the rightful #1 @ 168.

    i'm interested in seeing if bute can slow andrade down. andrade's granite chin and constant pressure will be the most challenging thing bute has confronted up to date. i'm not concerned about bute's speed (much faster than andrade), but i'm looking at the power match up. who has more? i'd say andrade...

    It will probably happen next year if everything goes well and yes it will prove who the man is at 168.Bute is like Winky a while ago,underrated,he can take anybody at 168 on a good night including Kessler,would be interesting where the fight will be

    Straight up power? Surely Bute. He can hit harder with one punch. However, Andrade's workrate is so high that with the good power and accummulation he gets going, he beats people up more than Bute does. Bute pounces quite hard when he notices weakness, opportunistically. Andrade breaks you down systematically. IMO.

    He will work him to the body early prolly to slow him down,he has a wicked left hook to the body,as for the power yes Andrade probably has more but Bute's power is underrated,he has good power,18 KOs in 22 fights:deal

    Maybe he will win on points(Kessler) but nobody is gonna KO Bute till he is old and shot and maybe not even then

    80% of the people went for Cotto,anyway Bute is gonna win on points and hurt Andrade a couple of times in the fight:deal

    Over 60% chance. Bute is a much better technical boxer, but unless he does his homework extremely well, and fixes some of his problems - it will be Andrades match due to style.
