Librado Andrade Vows To Knock Lucian Bute Out

by Mark Vester

Super middleweight Librado Andrade is promising to knock Lucian Bute out and collect the IBF title when their rematch takes place on November 28 in Montreal, Canada. Last October, Andrade was a few seconds away from winning the title. He lost almost every round but managed to wear Bute down along the way. He came on strong in the last two rounds when Bute appeared to be exhuasted. In the closing seconds he put Bute down.

There was controversy with Andrade's camp making claims about the hometown referee being biased. Andrade said he was robbed of a knockout win when the ref wasted valuable seconds by ordering him to head back to the neutral corner.

"I am happy that I've received justice and this time the result will be the same. I will knockout Lucian Bute. There won't be another result, the only question now in the rematch is whether I can do in the early rounds, what I did at the end in the first fight. I'm going to put a lot of pressure on him until he falls," Andrade told Notifight.
