So what do you think will happen?

Will Bute box like he did for 9 of 12 rounds last time to a comfortable decision, learning from the errors that left him out on his feet & seconds from defeat last time?

Can Andrade pick up where he left off & pound Bute into defeat?

Or in more unlikely events, could Bute shock the world by stopping the titanium-chinned Califiornian or will Andrade produce a Roy Jonesesque performance to box to victory?

Ok neither of those are likely to happen.

But, this is still a great fight & although Andrade is probably my favourite fighter, I think Bute will learn from last time & box to victory. But, that's my head & I'm going for what I want to happen which is an Andrade TKO in 10.

I'm also set up for that sig bet that's been about 10 months in the offing, Nameless, so let's set out the details here. A 1 month sig bet & a 1 week avatar bet along with it (I like my current Corrales-Castillo one, so want to have that back soon).

Anyway aside from that, who do you favour?
I'm with you. I think Bute will pace himself a good deal more. Even when he wasn't punching he knew how not to get hit (although I think he used excessive clinching). By round 12 Bute will have enough in the tank to be able to avoid, even if he can't bang like he did in the earlier rounds.

But I want Andrade to kayo him. He took so much punishment just to be robbed in the end. I hated the clinching, but I had a tremendous amount of respect for Bute's boxing ability and thusly, Andrade's chin. For a guy to get worked over like that only to get cheated in the end... I just hope Librado can find round 13.
