    Well, he's very technical, very rounded. He's got great size, above-average speed and good power. He's a very smart southpaw. Having said all that though everytime he's been lightly clipped to the face and I can't overemphasize lightly he looks like Wladimir, his body language changes completely. If you put pressure on him, he tightens up a lot. Recent example is his fight against Berrio one fight ago.

    If Andrade pressures him smart and clips him a few times, I just don't like Bute's body language when he gets hit. I am not saying he's got weak whiskers but just like Wlad he doesn't react well. Wlad used to have panick attacks when getting hit, I think he's somehow overcome that fear now, somehow though.

        Pascal will for certain be KOed by Froch.

                Very fine post thank you.

                I look forward to see Bute fight Andrade. Andrade has a decent punch and he aint afraid of taking some on the chin if thats what it takes to dish it out himself. Andrade could be a fine fighter if he improved his defence and footwork.

                  I'll probably bet on Andrade if smb gives me good odds.

                    I'll have to watch some more Bute first before I bet. I might watch him fight Berrio like you suggested.

                    IMO a boxer with a good variation, footwork and speed will always defeat Andrade.

                      Well yeah, on paper it's a huge mismatch and after people see what Kessler did with Andrade, the bookies should have Bute as a 5-1 favourite. Of course, Kessler's never afraid of getting hit back.
