Librado Andrade vs Lucian Bute My Thoughts.

[Kev]

I don't know why, I just don't like him because of the hype he gets, as a Canadian I really like Steve Molitor because his is the complete package, but I am not sold on Bute, and I am definitely not sold on Pascal.

I'm a Molitor fan as well but technically I don't think he's better than Bute.

Bute is a great boxer, has got decent power but as we have no found out, has a rather suspect resistance level.

Molitor has looked great so far but he's not yet taken a punch or been in with a tough fighter.

I want to see him in with Cabellero and then guys like De Leon, Marquez, Vazquez etc before I call him the complete package. Not saying he isn't just that he's not quite faced the opposition level that Bute has faced yet.

Andrade maybe technically limited but he's a tough sob

Some people are going overboard on the Bute hate. However, I do think that Kessler would beat him up and knock him out.

Bute definitely didn't look like the guy who can be the man at the division even before the 12th. He was doing a good job of potshotting but when he got his legs taken away from him he had relatively nothing on the inside except to hold. When I took notes on the fight I first noted that in the second round and seemingly every round thereafter. So it's not like he was beating Andrade in every facet of the game, he was doing a nice job potshotting and moving but otherwise it wasn't like a vintage performance. It definitely wasn't half of what Kessler did to Andrade and it definitely doesn't put confidence into your mind that this is going to be the guy who nobody in the division can beat. Kessler needs to reemerge and fast. Oh and Mundine, Mundine should too haha

Bute was gone after the knock down you can´t get saved by the bell, but you can get saved by your friend Marlon Wright.

I bet that Andrade fells real f.... now.

PS I think that Bute is a very good SMW, that just got careless in the end and that it should have cost him the victory
