Andrade vs. Bute Friday Night, Skill vs. Will

[The Texican]

I don't see Bute as skilled as Kessler or able to handle the pressure as well as he did. Andrade stops him late.

Exactly my feelings on the fight.

I see you eating your words on friday, btw Andrade has improved since the Kessler fight so he might give Bute problems at times.

[The Hammer]

This could go either way, but I'm picking Lucian Bute by decision.

[actionjackson]

Andrade is an improving fighter so I expect him to do better then he did against Kessler. But I still feel that Bute will outclass him and maybe have him hurt at times.

this is going to be another pick'em exciting fight, i favor bute, but andrade is a live opponent and should give bute a long hard night of work.

i pick bute but i am hoping for andrade to get the stoppage win in this one. i am canadian but i really like andrade so i am hoping he'll be able to pull out a great performance and get the win.

i actually i have tickets for this fight since its happening pretty close to where i am and i really cant wait till fight night!

Im actually starting to think that Bute will stop Andrade. I dunno, maybe Im overrating Bute in my head. but Bute gets better and better as the fight wears on, and has a lot of experience with Andrade-type opponents. it wasnt just Bika he beat...he brutally knocked out Berrio, who knocked out Yusaf Mack. I know Andrade also did that, but Andrade was dropped by Mack early on, Berrio had a pretty easy time with him.

Ill also throw in that Bute beat the hell out of Kabary Salem, who dropped Calzaghe badly and gave him a very tough fight...ignore the scores, theyre messed up. that was clearly on off-night for Calzaghe, but still. he knocked out Joppy badly, which hasnt been done that often.

Bute by decision, But Andrade is one tough dude. I saw the fight with Kessler and it was insane how that guy took so much punishment and still looked the same at the end of the fight, looked like it didn't even bother him.

I'm 100% rooting for Andrade, but I've been impressed by Bute and think it will be very tough to beat him in Montreal.

This is exactly how I feel.

And no way will Bute stop Librado, unless there is a bull**** stoppage of course. Andrade has been down only once and that was a flash knockdown against Yusaf Mack, and he has got the heart of a lion and a granite chin, so stopping him is gonna be damn near impossible.

I think Bute's speed is gonna be Andrade's downfall in the fight, but we'll see if Bute's power can keep Andrade off him and how LONG he can actually keep him off him.
