After Librado Andrades kayo win last night, he is now the mandatory challenger to the IBF SMW champion Lucien Bute.
Andrade is the exiting, crude forward marching brawler. Bute the more technically gifted.
Who wins?
Bute should win this easily, Andrade is a nice guy but he sucks.
Bute by late TKO or a clear UD.
Oh my fuck....
Did you just pick the white guy or am I hallucinating??
It's definitely either Bute by UD or Andrade by KO! The fight will be in Montreal no doubt, so I can't see Andrade winning a decision...unless he manages to score 2-3 knockdowns.
I was watching a few of Bute's fights today and he's definitely more skilled, but that come-forward in-your-face style of Andrade will give anyone fits! I definitely want to see this one, hell, I might even make a trip out of it and go party with some Canadians! :beerchug:
I'm calling Andrade HBO's 'Poor man's Gatti'. He's not the same fighter, of course, and the style is different but I see HBO using him in a similar capacity. He's a rough fighter who is coming to come forward, get nailed, and be in entertaining fights due to his poor defense and yet ability to stop people late. HBO is going to love putting this guy on co-features and PPV undercards.
I don't think he's championship caliber, though. I mean...that's what we're asking- can he become champ? Maybe Bute isn't an elite fighter himself, but I feel like Andrade will fall short whenever he take a step up. There is a big difference between a B- and B+ fighter. I think Librado lies on that borderline that he can thrive against the B- guys but, more often than not, isn't ready for the B+ or A- league men.
I think that Bute can learn from the Andrade vs. Kessler fight thereby seeing how to handle Andrade. Kessler beat him with some nifty footwork and Bute must try to copy that to blunt Andrades relentless, crude attacks.
I'll go with Bute.
I'd lean towards Bute by decision.
Because of course like you pointed out he's the more technically gifted of the two and will for sure use the jab to set up other shots.
But I'd like to see Andrade fight whoever, lol.
And no, I don't think Bute would knock him out. Nope.

I love Andrade, hes a warrior, very tough busy guy. If he can drag Bute into a fight i think he can get a late stoppage like 12th round, maybe a razor thin decision. If its a boxing skills for skills fight bute will win. maybe 8 rounds to 4
