I'm not really sure Andrade has the people to be honest. I mean against a top operator you pretty much know he's going to completely outboxed and lose unless he can pull out a home run punch.

He deserves another crack at Bute but in reality Andrade is hardly a Gatti or Coralles type fighter that people love to see fight win or lose.

Hopefully he'll get another title shot down the line or at least another big high profile fight, but I don't really see 'the people' helping his cause a great deal.

At best it may give him a high profile next fight, like when Collazo lost a disputed fight to Hatton thus earning the right to be Shane Mosely's whupping boy for his first fight back in the welterweight division.

I'd love to see him in with Alan Green or Edison Miranda, great crossroad fights
