Bute Vs. Andrade

[ElTerribleMorales]

the IBF super middleweight championship fight between Lucian Bute Vs. Librado Andrade will be on Showtime, don't remeber the date lol but am i the only one that thinks that this fight will be the one for us to really measure Bute on?

I don't really know too much about Bute, but I am an avid Andrade fan and he tests anyone he gets in the ring with, so I would say yes, unless Bute is some sort of juggernaut

Definitely...Bute must get past Andrade to proof he is a real Champion...Kessler showed how to outbox Andrade,but I guess Bute will have it more difficult than that,because Andrade got better since then...

Plus that granite chin he has.

Thats right...but if Bute actually does win this I don't expect that it will be by ko...

So is this matchup similar stylistically to a Cotto/Margarito fight. Like I said, not familiar with Bute that well.....actually not at all

I've seen Bute only against Berrios,but even though you can say that Andrade is pretty similar to Margarito, Bute isn't similar to Cotto...Bute is more like a sneaky kind of fighter...its hard to foresee what he will do...A sneaky southpaw ...But I doubt Bute has Kesslers footwork(which Andrade said confused him) and probably not his stamina...so this could be a very interesting fight...I certainly will watch it...

Lucian Bute is pretty good i was impressed how he handled Sakio Bika and Kabary Salem both awkward tough fighters..........

Im not really sure about this match up Librado Andrade has the kind of chin and pressure to dishearten you.............

But Lucian Bute has the skills to outbox Librado Andrade i think its a toss up my heart says Librado Andrade because i love fighters like him who have so much determination and will walk through hell to beat you similar to Antonio Margarito..........

But my head says Lucian Bute because he has the skills to outbox Librado Andrade and Lucian Bute has outboxed tough fighters who come forward im just wondering if the winner will fight the winner of the Jermain Taylor vs Jeff Lacy fight ?

I'm glad Bute is finally stepping up to the better SM fighters. He has battled the fringe guys and beat them. Against Andrade, we will finally see if he is a true championship material fighter.
