‘Librado Andrade’

 

Boxing Perspective: Bute vs. Andrade 2

By Daxx Kahn November 27th, 2009 All Boxing Articles

Can They Right Marlon’s Wrong?

Thirteen months ago, Librado Andrade, 28-2 (21), made his second career bid at becoming a World Title holder when he faced off against IBF Super Middleweight Champion Lucian “Le Tombeur” Bute, 24-0 (19), in a 12 round action packed affair that had all those in attendance at the nearly sold out Bell Centre in Montreal standing on their feet.

The bout was truly a classic boxer versus puncher affair as the southpaw champion put his technical prowess to use, utilizing every inch of ring space to his advantage. Bute landed right hand jabs and sent hometown spectators into a frenzy when he unleashed combinations, building up points on the judge’s scorecards.

In return, Andrade demonstrated why his reputation as a “True Grit” warrior was anything but exaggerated. Andrade pressured the Champion, causing him to stand his ground when he wanted to retreat.

When Bute would score flashy combinations, Andrade would punish him with hooks and overhand rights, letting the Champion know there was a price to pay for every punch unleashed even if the payback was one for every two absorbed.

In the latter rounds, it became clear Bute was not used to an opponent who was relentless, one who failed to crumble under pressure. When round 12 began, Bute ahead on all three scorecards, looked as if he could not hear the final bell soon enough, drained of all his physical energy and emotionally exhausted, the Champion’s heart was tested while the Challenger was never more ready to push his limits even further.

It became an almost “Rocky” type ending as the Challenger had Champion literally leaning on the ropes, stumbling across the ring as haymakers unleashed continuously to the temples and jaw of Bute. Straight rights would buckle his knees, the ropes saving him as he attempted a retreat to safety. Finally, as observers thought the excitement could not reach another level, Bute crumbled in the corner. More...

Boxing Perspective: A Fire’s Brewing At Super Middleweight

By Aaron King July 10th, 2009 All Boxing Articles

“Renaissance” would be the wrong term to describe what’s happening in the super middleweight division right now. That implies a “rebirth,” but never before has the division seen this depth of talent, and more importantly, a group of talent who actually show interest in fighting one another.

Remember the Roy Jones Jr./Frankie Liles/Steve Little days?

When Joe Calzaghe left the division in late 2007, he left a gaping void at the top. In retrospect, this was something of a blessing—the absence of a champion created a carrot for the line of highly-capable contenders in tow.

What’s beginning to transpire is a novelty at 168. From the amorphous jumble of challengers, some clarity has been gained, namely because they’re starting to get in the ring together.

Showtime is looking to settle the fascinating ambiguities that remain in the super middleweight ranks—more on that later. Let’s take a look at where the division stands at present and where it might be headed. First, a look at the top fighters:

1. Mikkel Kessler (41-1, 31 KO) – “The Viking Warrior” has been out of action for about nine months now and has only taken on two fairly pedestrian foes since losing to Calzaghe in November, 2007. Nonetheless, he still has a belt, is the most accomplished, and his set of skills is the most complete of anyone campaigning at 168.

2. Lucian Bute (24-0, 19 KO) – Title-holder Bute was lucky to get out of the 12th round against Librado Andrade in October, but was in control through most of the fight. Lucky for the rest of us, Andrade and Bute will go at it again sometime this fall. More...

 

 

Boxing In Canada: Weekend Results

By Danny Wilson April 5th, 2009 All Boxing Results

It was a good weekend at the fights north of the border and we start with the undercard of the Timothy Bradley vs. Kendall Holt bill last night at Montreal's Bell Centre.

Iron-chinned former Canadian light heavy and super middle title challenger David Whittom, 10-8-1 (6), gave Interim WBC Light Heavyweight titlist Adrian Diaconu, 26-0 (15), a good eight rounds, losing on points 80-72 twice and 79-73.

30 year old Quebec City man Whittom will challenge Canadian light heavy champ Jason Naugler in May in Halifax in a rematch to their clash for the vacant belt which Naugler won by a close majority decision two years ago. More...

Boxing In Canada: Saturday Night Preview

By Danny Wilson April 4th, 2009 All Boxing Previews

The Great White North sees a good evening of boxing with two shows tonight in Montreal, with the primary focus on the light welterweight unification clash between WBC Champion Timothy Bradley and WBO Champion Kendall Holt at the Bell Centre.

Bradley, 23-0 (11), is the favorite in this one but given the mercurial nature of Holt, 25-2 (13), it could go either way before the dust finally settles.

Of the two combatants, Holt has faced the better competition in the form of Ricardo Torres, David Diaz, Isaac Hlatswayo, Mike Arnaoutis, Demetrious Hopkins and Ben Tackie.

But Holt struggled against a well past his prime Tackie and looked to be on the verge of getting KO'd in the first round by Torres in their rematch before an accidental clash of heads knocked Torres senseless, enabling Holt to finish the job moments later.

As an undefeated fighter, Bradley has been the more successful but the Californian also hasn't faced top level opponents aside from his WBC title winning effort against Junior Witter. More...
