Golden Boy Promotions’ bid of $1,211,000 beat the $1,195,000 of InterBox, giving the Los Angeles-based promotional powerhouse the right to promote the mandatory defense of IBF super middleweight champion Lucien Bute against Librado Andrade. Bute, who won the first fight on points after controversial ending, will get 75% ($908,250). The bout could land on the September 19 undercard of Mayweather-Marquez in Las Vegas.
Bute-Andrade II! | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7
If this gets on the undercard of PBF-JMM than that would be awesome as this is a headliner all on its own.
Glad they're going to do it again, after the way the first fight ended.
It does sound like a really ridiculous card with Hatton/Judah, Bute/Andrade, and PBF/JMM.

I've liked Lucian Bute for sometime and i said he was the darkhorse of the division, quite awhile ago. He's got some good wins under his belt, and he was treated unfairly by the fans after the Librado Andrade fight.
And they seemed to forget what a good performance it was until the last round, Lucian Bute will win again he won't make the same mistake. He only got in that position because he traded with Librado Andrade, which was foolish.
But it was a learning experience, and i don't see Librado Andrade winning. He's tough but hes one dimensional, and Lucian Bute's outside game should win it for him again.
The only really interesting thing about the first fight was the dramatic 12 round. Bute dominated the first 9 rounds and I see him doing it again without gasing down the end. While Bute isn't as classy as Kessler in the ring Mikkel toyed with Andrade and I see the same happening again.
I think the real great fight to get made with Andrade is a tussle with WBC Champ Froch. These two guys would tear into each other like animals. I'd love to see it.
This sounds like wishful thinking to me.Quote:

Why would Golden Boy put this fight on an undercard, when they can put it as a main event in Montreal and sell out an entire arena? Doesn't make sense from a financial point of view.
Of course, I would love to be wrong and see it as the main undercard bout on Floyd-JMM. But I'm skeptical.
If the card does go down like this, then I think boxing promotions is starting to take a look at the strategy of MMA promotions. Cuz that's a loaded card, and with many story lines.
Bute takes Andrade. He just gotta remember to gas up this time around. 11 rounds of dominance ain't enough, as we've seen. Even as a Bute fan, I still have concerns with how that fight finished. So yea, this would put a lot of questions to bed.
Needs to happen asap.Andrade has gone and turned boxer on us.He really sharpened up last fight,patient and punching straight......I think too patient.Its like putting fluffy a sweater and a pink leash on your Rottweiler.He looked a little paunchy in the first Bute fight.Needs to go all out from start.Bute is a talented boxer...smart....but it should not have had to come down to mere seconds Imo.
Now this would be a PPV to buy if all parties signed.

back in the day this happened all the time
Dont get quality cards anymore. A big fight is always followed with an allan green or steve cunningham :mad::mad::mad:
Read it a while ago, I hope it'll clear the sky about the controversy of the first episode and it would be totally great to see it with PBF-Marquez, in undercard or main event, who cares, these 2 fights on the same bill = awesome boxing evening.
i think bute will better prepared and win
props to him cause alot of other fighters would of bitch out
I think this fight had to happen because all the controvercy following first fight. I realy hope Bute will win with a KO and a fight with Froch or Kessler will follow.
:zzwhip:guys I think that Andrade knows he can hurt Bute, and Bute knows it too :cool:
So Andrade will come head on , and this time Bute dont have his home judge to spoil Andrades game plan....
this one I would be exited to see...
My pick Andrade win by late KO :zzwhip:

I really wanted to see Bute/Froch

Really looking forward to this fight; can't wait for it. I want Librado to win but I see almost a repeat of the 1st one minus the last second drama. But Froch/Andrade is one I would dearly love to see and so hope it does happen at some point.
