Lucian Bute Accepts Terms For Mads Larsen Bout

[askoe]

You mean lost a one sided decision? Andrade was dumb not to stay in his corner after Bute went to the floor, that gave Bute more time to get up.

I think Andrade was trying to get the ref to start the count.

Bute is a paper champ, Andrade beat the hell out of him.

Andrade beat the hell out of Bute for about 1 round.

I bet Larsen could make more money fighting Lacy if he wants to be greedy.
And he'd have a pretty good chance to win.
Then Kessler can fight Taylor so both dudes can make their names in America.

Then they can spit on denmark and go back to their homes in Monaco and Germany.

he was in the corner that was the whole point. he told him to get in the corner when he already was. not to mention counting to ten took about 40 seconds and letting bute hug anytime andrade got close.

I have only seen Larsen once(on the Holy undercard) and I loved his style. Bute is probably to much for him but I would like to see what Larsen can do.

Andrade lost almost every single round except 2 rounds. Thats not beating the hell out of someone. Waiting the last round and trying to get a ko, is not beating the hell out of someone.

Poor ref'ing aside, Bute won. Even if the ref wasn't a cheater (he was), Bute would still have beat the count. Andrade did beat the crap out of Bute, but lost anyway - fair and square.

Next time Andrade shouldn't wait for the final 2 rounds to finally try hard.

That being said, Bute is a sorry, no power fighter who would get the beat down by Pavlik, Kessler, Abraham, or any other quality fighter.

Yeah right. Larsen has fled because of a contract dispute with Mogens Palle and Kessler has gone south probably to avoid the harsh danish income tax (at about 60% for those who earn a lot).

60%.....

Jesus Christ.

I'm surprise Denmark even has rich people.

***** move by Bute and his team. No doubt he was clearly winning the Andrade fight on points, but Librado put a whooping on Lucian in that last round and nearly pulled it off.

If Bute is to call himself a real champ, he should've given Andrade an immediate rematch and cleared things up. Too much controversy in the first fight...mostly caused by having a hometown ref.

If Bute doesn't end up fighting Librado again in '09, he and his team are clearly ducking him. Have the fight in Montreal again if they want, but use a competent referee next time and avoid the possible mess.

Bute was beatdown and that fight will always overshadow his career if he doesnt give him a rematch
