    The Middleweight Sandwich; More than Meats the Eye

    By Troy Ondrizek - As a man, there are few foods that are dearer to my heart than a sandwich. Simple to make and I can put anything my heart desires in between two hunks of bread, that’s a little slice of culinary heaven for me. There are several parts to a sandwich, but nothing is more important that what’s in the middle. [details]

    Calzaghe isn't from England.

        that is true. When are people going to differentiate Wales from England? Maybe they should start using United Kingdom.

          I don't think that Highly of Bute,.. bet a used up Jeff Lacy would beat him and Andrade on the same night,.. Taylor and Kessler would be a good match,.. Dirrell and Andre Ward are knocking on the door,.. would like to see Dzinziruk vs Paul Williams at Jr Middle.

            Bute & Andrade beats Lacy easily.

            Sorry brownsugar7, I'll have to disagree with you on the comment about Bute, Andrade and Lacy. Bute is a very high-level boxer with a ton of speed and slick movement. He's just like Calzaghe but with shorter arms and more durable hands. The muscle-bound Lacy won't be able to handle his speed and that's for sure.

            As for Andrade, I've trained at the gym alongside that guy and seen him spar many many times. To make things short, Andrade will have no problems with Lacy's style. Lacy is a slow puncher, and slow mover that doesn't punch fast enough. Andrade may look crude in the ring but he's actually pretty clever. He has an excellent chin and non-stop pressure. Lacy sucks at fighting on his backfoot and he also won't be able to throw enough punches to keep Andrade away. Only fast-handed/quick-footed fighters like Kessler & Bute have been able to beat Andrade. (Again, Lacy has slow hands and even slower feet.) If they ever fight, Andrade will easily outhustle Lacy and outpunch him.

                  well Heartattack,.. I hear ya,.. but I think Bute is the weakest link at 168,.. not that I'm a Lacy fan,.. but I'm sure he could stop Andrade,.. Bute either has stamina issues or difficulty making weight. he literally died after 11 and a half rounds of fighting a mediocre guy who hardly touched him untill the end.

                    I like Andrade because of his heart and determination,.. felt he should have been announced the winner against Bute,.. but compared to the rest of the field, both he and Bute are at the bottom of the food chain talent wise and this will be made evident when they meet decent(international) opposition
