add unskilled, crude, lousy footwork, likeable and you're closer to an Andrade characterization.

he got good work rate too

Fancy a bet on Andrade vs. Bute?

no, bute will win

I'm hoping Andrade takes it home against Bute. The guy is not very skilled, but is tough as nails and relentless. He deserves a couple good paydays wearing a belt. He will not keep one long, especially if he fights Kessler again!LOL

Oh yes. Andrade is a sentimental favourite in this. A mexican burger flip-flopper striking it rich is a feel-good storyline.

Damn strait. Right to a pot of gold.

I have always liked him ever since the beating he took from Kessler. It really should have been a mercy stoppage IMO. It goes to show though, that if you have enough heart and stamina, you can go pretty far in this game.

I am not huge on Bute because he stays here in Canada and up until now, has avoided many of the upper guys in the division. I consider that milking the belt. I am glad he is finally in a fight where he will really have to work.

Yes. And he is a very likeable fellow outside of businesshours as well. Very gracious to Kessler after his defeat. Andrade even made a social visit when Kessler was preparing for Sartison at BigBear mountain in california.
