    Head 2 Head: Bute vs. Andrade, Guzman vs. Funeka

    By David P. Greisman and Thomas Gerbasi - DAVID P. GREISMAN: Tom, my Thanksgiving dinner came with a heaping serving of humble pie.

    But like Mark McGwire, I’m not here to talk about the past, about your correct prediction of Andre Ward to defeat Mikkel Kessler and my incorrect prediction to the contrary. Let’s move on – nothing to see, folks, move along – to this week’s major action, a good doubleheader from Quebec City, aired live tonight on HBO.

    In the main event, we have a rematch between Lucian Bute and Librado Andrade, whose bout 13 months ago had one of the more dramatic final rounds in recent memory. On the televised undercard, Joan Guzman and Ali Funeka will battle for a vacant lightweight title.

    Bute would be a fool not to shore up his conditioning gap this time, which spells trouble for Andrade. Andrade needs to start this fight's round 1 as he did last fight's round 5 and keep it going. But in the end, Andrade is more brawler than boxer, and odds are for Bute by decision.
