Lucian Bute

Man i am a fan of Andrade,but wow was Bute impressive the kid can really box his defense and counterpunches were perfect,if only he were in the super 6 where he should be any thoughts people..

[starjammer]

He really surprised me. I love being surprised. I'd like to see him replace Jermain in the tournament, but I don't think that will happen. Obviously because Jermain looks to be continuing and because HBO will prob put up the cash now to keep Bute on their network for a bit.

Yeah I know he has power but was surprised he was able to stop Andrade.....too bad he is shut out of the tourney and will have to resolve to fight Green and at the very best a unification of the WBO strap.

[MARKBNLV]

I honestly think he could beat everyone except for ward which i think would still be very good.

Bute was very good last night.

However, Andrade was able to land on him. He landed some straight right hands and was able to land some uppercuts.

Nothing big, but something I noticed.

[MARKBNLV]

I guess him and green next only sensible matchup i can think of

Yeah I noticed that too, man. And if Bute didn't get Andrade out of there, would we have seen a similar fight playout to the first one?

But I was impressed he could hurt and got Andrade out, definitly.

I don't know. It's a good question, seeing as I actually think Andrade started better than last fight, but so did Bute.

Offensively, Bute is really, really good. I think he just needs to tighten up defensively.

Well HBO is talking about pushing Pavlik to fight Bute. So who knows who he fights next.

How about Bute-Pascal in a local showdown?
