I Am Romanian But........

Nice post Dorian, as always.

Even though people gave up on Pascal i think he could pull a upset, well have to wait and see, hopefully its a reality check for Bute and starts getting more serious i mean keep ur hands up ur not Floyd and why would u risk it in the last round vs a strong guy like Andrade? a few "rookie" mistakes

That late in the fight, against someone like Andrade, your arms feel like they weigh a couple of tons each. They were doing alot of pushing each other around, wrestling a little, that wears you out quick, and on top of all that, Bute was throwing alot of punches. I think his arms were just too tired to keep a high guard. He was so gassed that last half of the 12th, I really thought he was going to go long before he actually did...probably would've if the ref hadn't pulled Andrade off him constantly.

Im honest of course i was cheering for Bute and i like him a lot since hes the only good Romanian Boxer(diaconu too but still) but he got ktfo and busted up, Andrade deserved the win

There definitely should be a rematch. I was disappointed by the way Bute got away from a gameplan that was working so well for him - he didn't fight smartly, he could have easily won the fight if he hadn't got into close-in exchanges. Andrade got him with some good left hooks from in close.

Translators are notorious for that ****. You can't ever believe what they "translate". They always put their own two cents worth in.

yeh thats true..

just a correction though guys....they are not translators but interpreters.

translators do the books, documents, etc.....in writing.

another thing i noted also was that the ref called time on both occasions that Bute was hurt...definitely one bias mofo ref.

Yep Bute needs to work on his close up game because he got tagged a lot in the clinches, he simply didnt throw anything back and his hands were around Andrades legs leaving his head open and he paid for it late, bad ending to a good fight, he did great early on

oh and thanks to the people who gave me green karma, I was cheering for Bute all night but i call it like it is

good point, just like Cotto who dominated Margarito who kept coming forward and once they got tired they both paid the price, Bute got away but it was a ugly ending

Here's the worst part of all...

This was Andrade's night...

and I don't think he has a shot in hell of winning the rematch. Bute winning 9 out of the 12 rounds says something, and the fact that Andrade finally got his chance in the waning seconds of the 12th round means that fixing one mistake means retaining the title in the rematch.

Andrade deserved tonight and doesn't have a shot in hell of getting his deserved victory tomorrow.
