Montreal - IBF World Super Middleweight champion Lucian Bute (22-0, 18 KO) can count on the support of his ever-growing fan base when he laces up the gloves for his mandatory title defense bout against very tough Mexican fighter Librado Andrade (27-1-0, 21 KO). InterBox was able to close a deal with Andrade's promoter Golden Boy Promotions to have Librado fight Bute on Friday, October 24th 2008 at the Montreal Bell Centre. [details]

I hope Andrade wins this fight. He's one of those tough guys it's easy to root for. Bute probably outboxes him to a UD tho. -
andrade for the win people.Comment

A slight error in the article: When Andrade fought Kessler it wasn't a unification fight as Andrade didn't hold an alphabet title. It was for Kessler's WBA/WBC laurels.
I look forward to this fight. A stiff test for Bute for sure who'll enjoy homefield advantage. Andrade might have learned fighting in hostile territory from the Kessler fight, so that experience should suit him well, and I'd expect him to fight a better fight than he did against the viking warrior.Comment

I expect Bute to win a hard fought UD, Andrade has greatly improved his offense since his loss to Kessler.Comment

Bute is the Real Deal, he will outclass Andrade and win a comfortable UD.Comment

I love watching Andrade fight because I like to see how many clean flush shots he takes with looking the slightest bit hurt. I think Bute should beat him, but it's going to be tough becuase Andrade tests peoples will.Comment

UD for Bute
Andrade has a freak chin..
His offense is good, but he lacks defense, therefore, his offense is his defense..
And yes, he is very easy to root for because of his crowd pleasing style.. Hes pretty good tho..
Bute, seems polished from the limited footage I've seen of him
I think he'll outclass him ina UD similiar to the way Kessler did..Comment
