    Zuniga got taken out by Pavlik. It was a pretty exciting fight though while it lasted.

    I do not know is Zuniga is better or worse then Andrade, but they are fairly similar fighters.

      Sounds like it could be a exciting fight, I just hope it will be clean and mainly no contreversy!

        I was personally hoping to see how a ref could steal another fight for Bute, the last one was pretty blatant though so it would be tough to top. J/K

        I am looking forward to the fight though, it will be interesting to see if Bute learned anything from the Andrade fight, and if he did not he could very easily end up in the same situation again.

          what do u guys think of this fight? who wins?

          I got Bute by UD.
          I agree, Bute by UD.

          But Zuniga is tough opponent. He's a relentless pressure fighter who punches hard, so it won't be an easy fight.

            I was very angered with the last fight, as I supported Andrade. But I think Bute dominated that 11 3/4 rounds and tonight he will have no trouble. I also don't think he will have a major problem in the Andrades rematch

              Pavlik vs. Zuniga was a war.

              Pavlik got dropped early, but got off the canvas and hit Zuniga repeatedly with his best punches for the rest of the fight. Zuniga has an excellent chin but poor defense.

              Pavlik was asked after the Miranda fight if Edison was the hardest puncher he'd ever fought, and Kelly said no, it was Zuniga.

                Wonder what he'd say if asked now.

                  I tend to favor Bute because I generally favor the better boxer but Zuniga is a real solid opponent. Especially with the weakness that Bute showed against Andrade, but one has to hope he learned from that experiance against Andrade.

                    Well, he wouldn't say Bhop.

                    He might say Bhop ran from him better than anyone he ever faced.

                      Not sure how Hopkins got in this discussion. Dont be so insecure, Hopkins hurt the kid and let him know he'd been lied to all these years.
