Andrade Halts Lucas Comeback
Bell For Round 9 Goes Unanswered

Promoter: Jean Bedard : Interbox
Report & Photos By William Trillo

Super middleweight Eric Lucas (39-8-3,15 KO’s) wanted a real test to see if his comeback had any promise, so he chose top ten ranked Librado Andrade (29-3,22 KO’s). Although Andrade had proved himself as a World Class fighter with a titanic set of whiskers the thinking in Quebec was that the defeat to IBF Super Middleweight Champ Lucian Bute had rendered Librado “Gun Shy” according to trainer Stephan Larouche. It was a notion that Larouche admitted to being wrong about and it was just as clear to the over 8,100 in attendance at Quebec’s Pepsi Coliseum that Andrade is still the same formidable foe he has been in his last 4 fights in Canada, maybe better.

Photo By William Trillo

 

Librado Andrade (now 29-3, 22 KO's) bounced back from his knockout loss to Lucian Bute last November with an 8th round stoppage over the always tough Eric Lucas. The fight had some close action for 6 rounds with both men landing big fire on each other, but it would be Andrade's punches causing the most damage. Multiple cuts opened over the left eye of Lucas, streaming blood down his face in rounds 7 and 8, Andrade's best rounds and biggest turn around in the fight. The fight was called off after the 8th in the corner of Lucas who falls to 39-8-3 with 15 KO's.

Bute Stays Unbeaten With 4th Round KO
By Nat Gottlieb

The last time Lucian Bute fought Librado Andrade he won a unanimous decision that was tainted by a 12th round controversy. This time Bute beat Andrade without any ifs, ands or buts, knocking out the Mexican with a brutal left hook to the body with three seconds left in the fourth round to remain unbeaten (25-0, 20 KOs).

With the stunning memory of his 12th round knockdown by Andrade in their first fight clearly on his mind, Bute seemed to fight tentatively through the first three rounds, boxing well enough to win on the scorecards, but appeared to lack aggressiveness and confidence. But after being backed into the ropes by Andrade with just over a minute to go in the fourth round, Bute lashed out with a short left hook to the chin that dropped the Mexican and turned the fight around.  Click Here For More

Bute Finds Unlikely Stardom Up North
By Nat Gottlieb

Like Ricky Hatton in England and Mikkel Kessler in Denmark, Lucian Bute is a hometown phenomenon in Montreal. He wants to spread his popularity by fighting in the U.S. and Europe. But first the unbeaten champion has unfinished business to take care of at home.

Call it love at first sight. When the Romanian-born Bute adopted Montreal as his hometown six years ago, the city adopted him in turn. The passion Montrealers show for Bute regularly sells out major arenas and translates into big numbers on television. In a country where hockey is almost a religion, Bute has single-handedly done the unthinkable: made boxing a close rival. Click Here For Full Report
