Thread: Andrade won the eliminator so....

Do you think Bute will give him a shot? I would love to see this fight.

I hope so. I really don't care who he fights; I just want to see more of Andrade.

I think Andrade will beat Bute, if Bute's camp man up and actually decide to fight him

Bute has to one the worst managed career's around right now. He has somehow maneuvered his way to be the highest ranked SMW by process of elimination.

He's gotta be running out of options by now. I guess not.

Bute has the tools to out box Andrade wouldn't surprise me if he gave him a boxing lesson over 12 rounds, but it also wouldn't surprise me if Andrade cleaned Bute's clock and stopped him within 9.

Bute was KO'd as an amateur Welter.

BADLY.

And ?? not really sure what your implying, Tua was KO'd bad as an amateur in the 1st round, yet when he went into the pros he was only ever knocked down once, and had one of the best chins in Heavyweight history, Amateurs is totally different to the pros.

For some reason there just seem to be a major contradiction between those last two sentences. Surely a manager that can get to be highest ranked without you having to actually prove much in the ring must be doing something right.

Well I suppose if winning a alphabet soup belt, then sitting on it while fighting re-animated corpses like Joppy spells a successful career, then I suppose you are correct.

The guy has some talent but nothing has been done by his management to improve or test his fighter, because more than anything, that is what makes a fighter better.

I think Bute would out box Andrade.

I like both fighters and believe it could go either way. For boxing skill i would have to give the edge to Bute.

I have no doubt that Bute has the edge in skill but, Andrade's defense has gotten much better since his fight with Kessler.

I see this one as an absolute 50/50

Maybe but he was dropped by Mack, he might have been caught cold.

I'd say 70/30 Bute

I don't think the fight materializes. Something tells me Andrade will be shafted by some of the top names.

I think Andrade beats fighters with his will and determination alone. W
When he steps in the ring he knows he gonna get hit, he knows what's coming his way. What you don't know as an opponent to him is how in the hell he does it.

You can teach someone how to box.
You can teach someone how to be tactical.
You can teach someone how to brawl.

You can't teach someone how to react to a konckdown.
You can't teach someone to have heart.
You can't teach someone to have determination.
These are things that they either have or they don't and Andrade has them.
