Oh please he whooped Librado Andrade last time, and won 10 rounds out of 12. He made a mistake by trading in the last round which almost cost him.
But it didn't he got up at the count of 8, the time in the round was over, so all Lucian Bute had to do was respond to the ref which he did. So i fail to see how he was KO'ed.
But honestly stop being a hater, and just give the man his due. Im a big fan of Lucian Bute and i have been for awhile. And i have been telling people he is the darkhorse of the division for ages, knocking out an iron chinned fighter like Librado Andrade in 4 rounds is super impressive.
And its impressive that he wanted to erase any question marks, by taking on the rematch so props to him for that.
I've also been impressed with how he destroyed, Fulgencio Zungia. This is the same fighter that floored Kelly Pavlik, and was never off his feet vs Kelly Pavlik, yet Lucian Bute destroyed him in 4 rounds.
Or how he beat Sakio Bika easier than anyone else has, including Joe Calzaghe. Or stopping Kabary Salem a fighter who floored Joe Calzaghe heavily, and went 12 rounds with him.
If you actually dig a bit deeper into his record, you'd realise its not a bad record at all. And he's been taking on good competition quite early on in his career.
