    Bute vs. Andrade. Who wins?

    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.

    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

      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.

        Probably Bute by decision, if he fights very carefully the way he did against Bika. He made a few mistakes in the early rounds against Berrio, but adjusted and won a TKO.

        Andrade is dangerous and aggressive with some good offensive skills so Lucian has to remain fully focused.

          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'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.

                    Andrade would give Bute a tough fight, but I think Bute would use his superior skills to outbox Andrade and win a UD 116-112 or 115-113.
