Anyone besides me excited about Andrade/Bute?

I take Andrade personally but that is just one guys opinion...Anyone else looking forward to this? It's less then 2 weeks away...The winner will more then likely face Kessler to see who is the dominate champ at 168

Hell yeah this is going to be a great fight, I think Bute is going to underestimate Andrade's defense which has improved ten fold since his fight with Mack. It's very much a pick'em, but I can see Andrade just wearing Bute out down the stretch.

There's been a lot of talk about it... The threads have just been pushed back now...

Here's one:

The general sensus is that Bute will outbox Librado.
I'm rooting for Librado and I think he will win a hard fought fight by SD.

Nice heads up.I like this one,Anything Andrade is in has mass potential to be exciting,I second Sheep as far as some improvment in Andrades Defense and offense is relentless.I can see spots where Bute southpaw shiftiness might be a problem but he strikes me as one that will also welcome some exchanges.Im going with Andrade and can see both being stunned in the process.

Thats how I see it going myself...Unless Bute makes sure he keeps moving...For as tough as Andrade is he is just as slow.....

But to try and trade with the guy your stamina will be tested to the limit....He seems to just keep taking those punches......This will certainly be a war......

My pick is Librado but both men will put up a hell of a fight

I want Andrade, but I think Bute pulls it out. Bute will be a lot faster than Andrade. Once Bute realizes he can't hurt Andrade he won't risk any tough exchanges and will be content winning on the cards.

To the Thread Starter: where did you hear that the winner faces Kessler?
