Bute v. Andrade Poll

[thewhale]

I think this fight will show Butes potential and also what Andrade has learned from the Kessler fight, I think that Bute and Kessler have the same style.

I hope for Andrade, he is a true boxer with a lot of heart.

Voted Andrade by KO ..... we will give the big boot to Bute

PS please somebody upload this fight ASAP, so I can watch it.....

My head says bute and my heart says andrade.

I didn't know he was so popular in Canada!

Like most I expect a relatively routine victory for Bute

In response to Amat who says this is a far bigger than Pascal Froch I disagree.

With Andrade we know exactly what we will get and I think the outcome of this fight is pretty predictable, i.e Bute easily outboxes him.

We may be wrong and Andrade may suprise us but I'm not certainly not expecting the unexpected in this fight.

In the case of Froch Pascal however, we have two unbeaten fighters going at it and I don't think many of us have any idea how this fight will go down.

I think Froch Pascal is a true 50/50 fight and I can't wait to see it.

I'm going with a Froch KO in the late rounds to finally put him on the world map but it is possible that Pascal boxes his head off as well imo. Should be a great fight though.

I see Bute controlling Andrade pretty much however and winning with relative ease.

Well..to be fair Andrade did improve since the Kessler fight,but not by much...I think Bute looks like the perfect sneaky southpaw...and like most here already said Bute should outbox Andrade more or less easily...

Right. Good matchmaking by Bute's people. True as ever after last weekend: styles make fights. On paper, Andrade's style seemingly is made for Bute.

Your post was a little confusing (I think you meant to say Bute in the first sentence), but I agree with the prediction.

The reason why this fight is more relevant than Froch v. Pascal is because this fights pits Ring Magazine # 3 v. # 4 fighters and Pascal is unranked and unknown, for the most part, outside of Montreal, Canada.

As far as excitement, I will be more excited for the Froch fight if Jermain beats Lacy because then we'll have a chance to see Jermain fight Carl, which will be a huge test for both.

Ah yes my mistake, indeed I think it's a fairly workmanlike win for Lucian Bute.

Andrade doesn't possess the boxing skills to beat a decent well grounded fighter with a tough chin imo.

[killersheep]

I think Andrade will win because of his workrate, chin and unlike Salem and Berrio, he keeps his hands up.

Did you see Paschal on ESPN 2 last time? I think the people who did are not quite as excited for this fight since he looked pretty crappy and kind of chinny. Also came off as a bit scared of his own shadow with the Miranda thing.

I don't think that highly of Froch (understatement) but he probably gets to Paschal's chin.

Here's where the trash talk happened (right after the KO of Banks)

If he's even half as good as some people say he is, Froch is going to starch Pascal, but that's not too much of an accomplishment IMO. Pascal is mediocre, I dislike him intensely, and he was clearly frightened of Miranda after the Banks KO.

[Rantcatrat]

Miranda's ko was pretty badass. I can understand having a few second thoughts.

You mean Pascal isn't the best 168 lber in the world? I'm suprised because Steve Bunce when he was interviewing Froch a couple weeks ago commended him for taking this fight saying Pascal was a much tougher fight than the likes of Jermain Taylor and Jeff Lacy.

I mean it's not like Buncy to resort to hyperbole and bullshit

What I meant by that comment was that this fight is more relevant to the division because really, neither Pascal nor Froch are going to rule this division or even come close. The winner of this one, with Kessler and Taylor's absense and guys like Ward and Dirrell's time still a bit in the distance, will pretty much be the man in the division at least for the time being. Froch-Pascal probably gets one of them in the top 10, and then they won't last much longer from there either of them. Maybe Pascal but I doubt it.
