Andrade-Bute rematch... Who Wins?

There's no Marlon B. Wrong this time & a rematch I've been waiting for 13 months finally comes around.

So what do you think will happen?

Will Bute box like he did for 9 of 12 rounds last time to a comfortable decision, learning from the errors that left him out on his feet & seconds from defeat last time?

Can Andrade pick up where he left off & pound Bute into defeat?

Or in more unlikely events, could Bute shock the world by stopping the titanium-chinned Califiornian or will Andrade produce a Roy Jonesesque performance to box to victory?

Ok neither of those are likely to happen.

But, this is still a great fight & although Andrade is probably my favourite fighter, I think Bute will learn from last time & box to victory. But, that's my head & I'm going for what I want to happen which is an Andrade TKO in 10.

I'm also set up for that sig bet that's been about 10 months in the offing, Nameless, so let's set out the details here. A 1 month sig bet & a 1 week avatar bet along with it (I like my current Corrales-Castillo one, so want to have that back soon).

Anyway aside from that, who do you favour?

Has it been 13 months already? Man, that fight seems like it was this year to me for some reason. Well, I guess that is enough time for Bute to recover mentally and physically from what was surely a brutal KO looming. So I will go decision for Bute.

I think Bute wins by decision in a boring(hope I'm wrong) fight. He knows from the first fight that, stopping the iron-jawed Andrade is unlikely, so I expect Lucian to pace himself better this time around.

For Andrade I think a lot of it depends on how much pressure he can put Bute under in the first couple of rounds.

Bute easy-ish UD without the drama.

This. I picture Bute doing some ballet in the 12th.

Lucian Bute by comfortable UD, he made a mistake by exchanging punches in the 12th round he won't make that mistake again. Lucian Bute won't allow Librado Andrade too start faster either, i actually think Librado Andrade tried to impose his will early, he just wasn't allowed to.

I personally like Lucian Bute alot, he has some underrated wins and he is the darkhorse of the division. I've been saying for awhile i thought he could beat Mikkel Kessler, and everyone thought i was insane. But now Mikkel Kessler lost in embarrassing fashion to Andre Ward, is that such an unpopular opinion now ?

I think Lucian Bute got too much hate aswell, he did get up in the correct time. And even if the ref hadn't have done that bs, about Librado Andrade getting back in the corner, it wouldn't have mattered cause the time in the round had already run out. So all Lucian Bute had to do was stand up and respond which he did, he also showed alot of heart getting up.

He's also showing the right attitude by rematching Librado Andrade, to win without any question marks which i like. Similar to Chad Dawson vs Glen Johnson i think it will be similar to that IMO.

I'm with you. I think Bute will pace himself a good deal more. Even when he wasn't punching he knew how not to get hit (although I think he used excessive clinching). By round 12 Bute will have enough in the tank to be able to avoid, even if he can't bang like he did in the earlier rounds.

But I want Andrade to kayo him. He took so much punishment just to be robbed in the end. I hated the clinching, but I had a tremendous amount of respect for Bute's boxing ability and thusly, Andrade's chin. For a guy to get worked over like that only to get cheated in the end... I just hope Librado can find round 13.

i think bute will finally shatter the granite chin of andrade. bute tko.

Bute KO/TKO 9th or 10th.

Yeh....but what if he was Austrian ;D Hard time seeing Bute putting Andrade in big trouble...those last few seconds may be the first thing Bute sees when the opening bell rings?Will say that if Andrade waits around,over thinks and under commits..... trys to box with him like he's trying to prove he can do lately,he may lose wide...but not via Ko.

I might be a little bias. :p But I do expect Bute to come into this fight with a different mentality, and expect him to finish off more as he gets his man broken down. I don't expect Andrade to go the distance if this happens.

What Andrade needs to do to have a chance in this fight is get extremely rough when Bute is clinching him. Make no mistake, if Bute isn't finding his range, he's looking to tie up.

Thats the only thing im worried about in future fights with Lucian Bute, he hasn't really got a good inside game.

Bute is selling out a 16 000 seater arena for this fight. He's got his pension in mind and he's going to want to do that again, so he'll box really carefully this time to a wide UD.

Last time he won 10 round, this time it'll be the same, perhaps even 11. Loopsided decision with a bruised Andrade in the end. Bute won't be cocky in the very alst round and go for the trade to trade. IS our bet still on Jaz? I already prepared a very nice Sig for you:)

Well I think we have everything short of the curtains drawn on this fight! In such a highly dramatic 12th round you must take into consideration of one thing. Andrade knows exactly how hard/how many times he has to hit this guy to put him away.

Andrade has so much to gain and Bute so much to lose. Andrade is going to be a hungry guy this weekend and I think he finds a way to spoil that special movement bute is so well known for.

I call for what people are unwilling to embrace as a replay. Andrade 11rd TKO

One thing for sure: either Bute on points. either Andrade by stopage.
Bute by wide decision is the most probable scenario , but I don't count out Andrade.

Wow, now that I think about it... This is a lot like the Ivan Robinson - Arturo gatti rematch! Gatti rocked him good at the end of the first fight, didn't he!?

I'm a huge fan of Andrade but Bute is going to school him. Again.

And just to stir up some old bullshit, the right man won last time.

As has already been mentioned, I'm pretty sure it will have been drilled into Bute not to get dragged into it like he did last time, and that he needs to box his way through.

As Greg Sheepkiller said....Andrade needs to get in there and throw Bute off his game and make him fight his fight. The problem I think is that Bute will be better able to execute his plan, fairly wide decision by four or five.

I think Bute wins a UD, but i hope Andrade pull`s out a KO, i like Andrade

Bute by decision.

He will pace himself better than he did in the last fight.

Just dont think its in his nature,walking into Andrade and giving Librado his best chance can find Bute back on those dancing legs he ended on in the first go round.Would eat my shoe if he stopped him,both :-X.

Bute litterally toyed Andrade in their first match and won clean, just a controversy at the very last moment but the referee just followed the rules to the letter. He got carried off and went trade for trade to make fireworks, almost cost him victory and gave him a controversy. This time, it'll be a flawless match.

The only problem is andrade can win only one way and that's by knockout. He may get lucky and hurt bute early and dominate the fight for a few rounds but i doubt 100% that andrade can ever win a decision just by boxing.

Andrade crumbled like a chump:vd:

Bute was sensational. The body shot that sent Andrade to the canvas was vicious. Wow. Great win for Bute. Bute is or should be numero uno in the division without a doubt.

Kessler slaughtered Andrade. Ward slaughtered Kessler.

I would say Froch and Abrahams wins over Taylor were better than Bute beating Andrade too.

Bute may very well be the best supermiddle, but even with that impressive win, the form book still places him a couple of points behind the top of the Super Six players.

Seriously. He could have been easily 1-1 against Andrade. No offense to Andrade but that doesn't make you the top guy.
