and Andrade just lost by kayo in the 4th

Yeah, if boxing worked like that, we could say Lucas is going to beat Andrade up

[Tiozzo]

this is precisely what will happen. Lucas doesn't need the money, I wish he would stay retired.

He says he missed the atmosphere surrounding a fight, ring walk, the fans, etc. Of course it has a lot to do with Bute's great popularity.

As for the money, I hope you don't mean he's millionnaire, cause he's not. He doesn't need boxing to live, but he's not rich.

Well that's what I mean, he doesn't need boxing to live...isn't he living on his money as a promoter though?

[Tiozzo]

When Lucas came back, he said he didn't need the money (which is true, his buisness is going well), he also added that he knows that he won't win another world title and that he would fight locally...

But, this is the worst match-up for him. Andrade is a guy who will pressure him all night, who will never step back and who has an iron chin. I would understand if they would have picked a B- fighter who is technically good and fast, but not a fighter who has the tool to damage Lucas bad.

I hope him the best and I hope he won't get hurt,

I have no idea what went through his head.

Maybe a train.

He sure is confident to take such a fight.

Good post. I think I may be overly sentimental though, I just don't want to see the old fella get hurt. I also would have been happy had Arturo Gatti retired after the first Ward fight after having taken so many flush shots...

He owns a restaurant and is a promoter, yes (Interbox).

Yeah, he owns Champs downtown, doesn't he?

I believe he owns a ''La cage au sport'', I have no idea if Champs dowtown happens to be the same thing or another restaurant he might own.

actually you're right. it is a la cage.

Andrade is not Abraham or Kessler guys ! In fact Andrade is the perfect guy for a guy like Lucas to take a risk. We will see if Lucas still has the timing, if he does he will give a good fight to Andrade.
