I've never really listened to an interview of his before, I always assumed he would really broken English like Cotto but he sounded like an American.

I always forget where he's from, is he Mexican or something?

Classy guy though, I'd definitely root for him to destroy Bute if they fought again
Born in Mexico, resides in California, and trains in Montreal (his trainers Otis and Howard Grant, are from Montreal)
He sounds about as Canadian as Bute then, maybe it wasn't hometown judging after all.


I do agree about the controversy as well. There's no doubt Bute managed to get to his feet at 10, although the ref hadn't even started counting then, but whether he could have stayed upright for the remaining 10 seconds is debatable.

It's the closest I've ever seen anyone almost come to losing it in the last seconds though and still hanging on barely.

It actually finished in a similar way to Vazquez Marquez 3 but Andrade was waaaaaaaaay behind on the scorecards so he needed him to stay down.

Brilliant final round though.

does anyone think Andrade should be kicking himself for not stepping it up earlier though?

I mean the way he tore through him in the 12th makes you think he really should have taken him out of there a couple rounds earlier.
