The fact that Kessler will tear Bute a new one.
I just read that Bute is going to face Mads Larsen in Denmark, early in 2009.
I would like to see as a Dane, not as a boxing fan, Andrade should get a rematch.
I hope that Kessler could face B´hop instead :cool:
Andrade does NOT need Bute or the strap...
Andrades got the people and that's what matters.
We make the champs not the straps.
Kessler would knock out Bute without much problem.
I'd love to see Kessler fight the Taylor-Lacy winner, but if that can't happen, I wouldn't mind seeing Andrade get the winner.
Yes he does Bute gave Andrade a boxing lesson for most of the fight, and proved he was the better fighter IMO. Bute made a mistake by wanting to exchange in the last round. And almost payed for it but didn't.Quote:

I seriously think your going way over the top with this Mick. The only thing that mattered in this situation was the ref's decision. Whether or not to let Bute continue which he did, even though Bute was in serious trouble he was still aware IMO, because he looked at his corner twice if i remember rightly and he responded to the ref's instuctions.
So i don't really see the major controversy your seeing at all, and i think Bute would just be cautious in a rematch against Andrade. And win a wide UD without any controversy.
And i think Bute still gives Kessler a good argument, Bute has good upper body movement, he is mobile and throws good combinations. Kessler has never met anyone like that before so it will be interesting, to see how he would cope.
Calzaghe doesn't throw combinations or have good head movement? Mundine doesn't ahve good head movement, but he makes Bute or Calzaghe look slow, and Kessler didn't have many problems with him. I think Bute is an alright fighter, but he isn't as good as some people are making him out to be, and he isn't as bad as people are making him out to be.
Mikkel Kessler actually did have quite alot of problems against Anthony Mundine, don't let the scorecards fool you Mikkel Kessler only won by about 3 rounds at max it was quite a close fight IMO.Quote:

Hopefully he'll get another title shot down the line or at least another big high profile fight, but I don't really see 'the people' helping his cause a great deal.
At best it may give him a high profile next fight, like when Collazo lost a disputed fight to Hatton thus earning the right to be Shane Mosely's whupping boy for his first fight back in the welterweight division.
I'd love to see him in with Alan Green or Edison Miranda, great crossroad fights
