    Bute seems like a smart fighter to me. He'll keep Andrade at a safe distance with his jab and excellent footwork. I'd love to see Andrade win, but I can't imagine that happening in Montreal.

      Great chin, underrated ability to roll punches. I was surprised Lewis pointed it out so early.

        Yeah I noticed that as well. I mean he still takes huge shots, but by rolling with the punches it lessens it effectiveness. It's crazy watching Andrade, it seems like when he takes punches the other fighter takes more damage mainly to his confidence. Becuase when you hit the guy with your best shots, yet he's still coming back at you acting like those shots didn't even hit him, that must not be to encouraging. Just because of his chin and will he can win quite a few fights. The question is how long can he take that punishment.

          I don't care what anyone says or what technical faults he has, Andrade is must watch TV when he fights. Anybody that fights like that will automatically be involved in exciting fights. One of the premium networks should snatch up Andrade/Bute. That has potential to be one hell of a fight.

            Yeah his chin is made of Iron.

            I mean outside of just flat out getting him out of there with a barrage of punches (Forrest knocking Mosley down is an example of that) you aren't knocking him out. Those kinds of guys can take a baseball bat to the side of the head while reading Shakespear from a script.

              I think Bute could be in a struggle fight. Andrade can;t cut the ring off and maybe that will help the evasive Bute but Bute reacts really bad to pressure. If anyone has seen 3,4 fights of his. Even against Berrio, he was really good at slipping his winging shots and eventually koed him but in the process he looked in real distress when pressured.

                I honestly haven't watched any of Bute's fights so I was just wondering, since Andrade is now his mandatory. I'll have to look a few up and check them out.

                You're right though, unless Andrade stops him, it'd be tough to win a decision in Montreal, since that's probably where the fight would be. Still, you never know, from what I've heard about Bute, this could be a really great fight!
