Librado Andrade vs Lucian Bute II Prediction

The long anticipated rematch will be here November 28th! A day before my birthday. This matchup has long been anticipated due to the controversy of the last match. If you hadnt seen the last fight you'll see what I mean. Lucian Bute dominated the first 11 rounds of their first fight only to get blasted in the final round by Librado Andrade. Lucian Bute was down and the referee Marlon Sterling began to count, and this fight was in Bute's hometown so everything is working for him. Bute is in his hometown, has a hometown referee, and pretty much has the fight in the bag. Andrade stormed out and beat on him knocking him out. In the first fight Bute began to fade in rounds 10-12 Andrade saw that and simply pounded on him until he went down. To make a long story short the ref stopped counting to get Andrade to get back in his corner, and when the ref was done with Andrade he resumed his count and Bute was up. Bute was down for more than 20 seconds, much more than regulation for a knockout. So now Bute is standing up, and he wins the fight on unanimous decision. Librado Andrade is a hard puncher, he likes to stalk you, and run in and hit you with some hard shots. Andrade is a head first fighter similiar to a Jake Lamotta and has shown to have a great chin. Lucian Bute has good but not great boxing abilities. Bute has fast hands, above average power in both hands, he can move, and counter very well. I think Bute's countering is very underrated. He likes to punch on the move. Librado Andrade isnt really the fastest fighter, and very flat footed. He has trouble fighting on the outside, and doesnt really set up anything off the jab. Lucian Bute's major problem is sometimes he doesnt really control his punches, at times he just simply throws punches just to get points which made him fade in his last fight. Bute is the opposite of Andrade he has trouble fighting on the inside. I reallly dont see anything different in this fight than the last fight. Lucian Bute should win again by unanimous decision using his boxing ability. Andrade will pretty much be chasing him the whole matchup and Bute will be pot shotting the whole match just like the other match. The only way to neutralize a fighter that likes to fight on the inside like Librado Andrade is to pot shot, and move around the ring. Perfect for Bute as long as he doesnt fade. So im going with Lucian Bute unanimous decision
