For the IBF super middleweight title in Montreal on Oct 24th....This should be a good fight, I hope the winner gets Pavlik. I'll take Bute to win it by UD cause he's the smarter fighter.
Damn good fight and glad that Showtime (shoBox) is picking up the live feed :bears: I agree on the outcome, unless Bute fails to read a scouting report and leaves his chin out long enough for it to get cracked.
never seen bute fight but andrade is formidable. i knew kessler was the goods when he handled andrade. good litmus test for bute.

Andrade is probably my favorite active fighter. He has very little talent. He really is what people say Margarito is. The guy gets every ounce he can out of what little he has. I don't know much about Bute. However, as skilless as he is, Andrade is a gut check for anyone at 168. Great chin, decent power and the heart of 12 men. I have never been more impressed by a guy who got shutout 12-0 then i was when Kessler raped him. I guess that should go in the other thead:::: Honestly, if Kessler were a front runner, he'd have gotten stopped.
Agree! Bute has some of the best ring generalship in the sport. If Bute gets pass Andrade; we have to see Kessler/Bute sometime in early '09.
