yea me too. i really hope if bute wins that he will get in against kessler or taylor. i want him in with a top guy, and wish to see how he does.

andrade is the true test for the elite. his chin is arguably better than margaritos. i mean.. the guy blocks punches WITH HIS FACE! seriously- thats his defense!!!! what an animal! even when kessler beat him, you could tell mikkel was nervous all twelve rounds. its frusturating to hit a guy with your best **** and have him just walk through your punches.

bute should be able to pull this one out though if he boxes smart... he is very talented

i agree, andrade looked pretty good in his last fight, and will push bute.

Andrade is one of those journeyman it's easy to root for. I'd like to see him win this.

Agreed

Showtime has been awesome, the past few years.

Oh yeah, Bute is going to lay a beat down on Andrade IMO.
