Should be interesting.

Librado Andrade is limited thats why he is the underdog, yes his defense has improved. But facts are facts he has a good chin a big heart, but what much else is there ? he is an exciting fighter and im not trying to diss him he is great for the sport.

But he is just a come forward fighter with not alot of skill sets, and relies on his strength and chin to win him fights. Lucian Bute has beaten tough fighters like Sakio Bika, Kabary Salem, with no real trouble. If you have followed or watched Lucian Butes fights, its not hard to see why he is the favorite.

Andrade by a hard fought decision...

[thewhale]

I think this fight will show Butes potential and also what Andrade has learned from the Kessler fight, I think that Bute and Kessler have the same style.

I hope for Andrade, he is a true boxer with a lot of heart.

Voted Andrade by KO ..... we will give the big boot to Bute

PS please somebody upload this fight ASAP, so I can watch it.....

My head says bute and my heart says andrade.

I didn't know he was so popular in Canada!

Like most I expect a relatively routine victory for Bute

In response to Amat who says this is a far bigger than Pascal Froch I disagree.

With Andrade we know exactly what we will get and I think the outcome of this fight is pretty predictable, i.e Bute easily outboxes him.

We may be wrong and Andrade may suprise us but I'm not certainly not expecting the unexpected in this fight.

In the case of Froch Pascal however, we have two unbeaten fighters going at it and I don't think many of us have any idea how this fight will go down.

I think Froch Pascal is a true 50/50 fight and I can't wait to see it.

I'm going with a Froch KO in the late rounds to finally put him on the world map but it is possible that Pascal boxes his head off as well imo. Should be a great fight though.

I see Bute controlling Andrade pretty much however and winning with relative ease.

[JohnnyKickAss]

Well..to be fair Andrade did improve since the Kessler fight,but not by much...I think Bute looks like the perfect sneaky southpaw...and like most here already said Bute should outbox Andrade more or less easily...

Your post was a little confusing (I think you meant to say Bute in the first sentence), but I agree with the prediction.

The reason why this fight is more relevant than Froch v. Pascal is because this fights pits Ring Magazine # 3 v. # 4 fighters and Pascal is unranked and unknown, for the most part, outside of Montreal, Canada.

As far as excitement, I will be more excited for the Froch fight if Jermain beats Lacy because then we'll have a chance to see Jermain fight Carl, which will be a huge test for both.

Right. Good matchmaking by Bute's people. True as ever after last weekend: styles make fights. On paper, Andrade's style seemingly is made for Bute.

Ah yes my mistake, indeed I think it's a fairly workmanlike win for Lucian Bute.

Andrade doesn't possess the boxing skills to beat a decent well grounded fighter with a tough chin imo.

[killersheep]

I think Andrade will win because of his workrate, chin and unlike Salem and Berrio, he keeps his hands up.

[Clanger]

I think Bute will look dazzling for the first half of the fight, fast jabs and footwork - but Andrade will show huge improvements since the kessler fight and it will be a war of attrition from the 7th round onwards.

I expect Bute to steal the fight on early rounds, based on his southpaw stance and speed.

[HOMETOWN CHAMP]

Im going to go with Bute by unaminous dec. I dont know what to expect from Adrande because i havnt seen him fight

[Rantcatrat]

Excited about this one. Is the guy Hearns is fighting any good?
