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
Any fight involving Andrade is fan-friendly as f^ck. I am a bit torn about who to root for here though - on the one hand how can anyone not root for Andrade? The guy is the real deal as a person, humble and determinated, and fights the fight we love to see. On the other hand, I would like to see the winner in against Kessler (as you hinted), but there isnt really any point to do this, if Andrade should win. I am fairly sure that outcome would be the same.

FWIW I think Bute will be too smart also. There is a certain truth to the Margarito-Cotto analogies, but while Cotto could not refrain from trading, I dont think Bute will mind going 12 careful rounds.
