Lucian Bute-just for the sake of it

[screwhead1]

Thats nonsense. You guys have some weird criterias. Bute won that fight. End of story. Andrade sucks.

uh...no...andrade lost...he knocked out bute and the ref screwed him over...the entire end of that fight was illegally given to bute...

How could u call that a knock out when Bute rose from the canvas and recovered?!?! And it was 2 seconds left from the fight. STRANGE criterias indeed...

i can say that because he was never legally cleared...if a fighter stands and doesn't walk to you...they can't be cleared...when he was standing...he was leaning on the ropes as well...the ref did not do his job properly...

Agreed, Bute was never standing under his own power.

He couldn't even walk to his corner and fell straight into the ropes as soon as he took a step when the fight was over.

People who are saying Andrade sucks are they type of dip****s who I don't even classify as boxing fans.

He is one of the hardest working and most exciting fighters in the game today.

He is also one of the most improved since his loss to Kessler.

Come on guys, we have been through that argument like 1000 times before. Let's talk about their second fight instead.

I personnally am looking forward to it, being from Quebec City. I think and hope Bute will win a clear decision without any controversy this time. If only he'd put a knee down in their first fight, there would've been no controversy at all. After 11 rounds, it was a pure schooling. Now he has the opportunity to fix it all. I know it is a bold statement, but I wouldn't be surprised if Bute KOs Andrade. Most likely it would happen with a body shot (like the one against Zuniga), but I remember Andrade's trunk was so high last time they faught it even protected his ribs.

after the shocking reffing in their first fight,i hope andrade knocks him out this time and actually gets the KO

Good fighter.I rank him no 2 at SMW.

He's a terrible match-up for anyone at the weight,tall,rangy,southpaw,good power,slick,fast hands,good movement,good chin.His weakness is his defence as he carries his front hand to low and he gets hit.Berrio and Andrade puffed his open eye up because of this.
Still I'm going for the skilled romanian to beat Andrade again.

thank you...plus...look at that fight with kessler...he took every shot...and hard...never faltered...i fear for him in the future...and i wish he had other methods of defense...but dude has more heart than anyone i've ever seen fight...

As I said in my previous post, I don't want that old argument to start over again, but I must clarify that Bute didn't have to "stand under his own power". The fight was over, and the IBF rules stipulate that all he had to do is to stand (only have his two feet on the canvas). He didn't have to be ready to fight.
