Librado Andrade vs. Lucian Bute: final predictions and other thoughts?

[Ben_London.]

In my opinion, this fight could go either way.

Lucain Bute definitely needs to stay on the outside since Librado Andrade is the better inside fighter with his short, hard hooks. Bute has the better technical boxing skills, with excellent speed and quick reflexes.

If Andrade succeeds in turning the fight into a slugfest, he'll win. Although both have equal power, Andrade has an iron chin and Bute does not (Lucian hasn't been stopped in the pro ranks, but he was KOed in the 2003 World Amateurs by Gennady Golovkin). And Bute needs to pace himself better, he appeared to tire in the last round of the first fight and could no longer escape Andrade's punches.

i remember seeing you post when i first became a member, where ya been? to answer your question i think andrade will get his fair share of shots in but bute is a good counter puncher and he already has fought andrade and knows the patterns better than he did in the first fight. bute UD

[mrbigshot]

i think andrade will get to bute, bute was out on is legs

if bute has improved is stamina he will win a clear ud BUT

i just think bute is quite easy to hit and andrade will be able to land some leather on him from the middle of the fight to the end

bute was completly done from rnd 11 where that pr1ck of a ref fcuk things up for andrade

god man i hate the ref corrupt b@stard!!

Lucian Bute will win by UD, but a late tko is possible.

But, like the 1st fight, you should never count Andrade out, but I do believe Bute won't make the same mistakes again, Andrade as being the loser of the 1st fight, had a lot more to gain and adjust for the 2nd fight knowing what he did wrong, All Bute could have done was work on stamina maybe and learn how not to slug it out in the 12th after winning the previous 10-11 rounds.

Either way, I hope it's a exciting fight, may the best man man

[BattlingNelson]

Bute by safe UD.

[LeftHookTua Jr]

Bute will win by dec.

[Ben_London.]

I'm leaning a bit toward Bute winning by UD, but I think this could very well end in a KO by Andrade.

Librado is relentless and I've never seen him even slightly hurt. I can imagine him gradually breaking Bute down.

pretty much my thoughts exactly..bute should be able to weather a couple scary moments to cruise to the UD..but at the same time Andrade has been hungry for this rematch and will bring it to Bute..im just glad this card is on tonight with an interesting undercard

Andrade was down once in his career, against Mack.

But that was just a flash knockdown, he wasn't even slightly hurt.
