Andrew Fruman recaps last night's Quebec City double-header featuring Lucian Bute vs Librado Andrade and Ali Funeka vs Joan Guzman..
Hats off to Lucian Bute. Having been bypassed by Showtime's 168 pound Super Six tournament, Bute made his HBO debut a memorable one, and in the process cemented his status as one of the division's elite.
With a 4th round stoppage victory over Librade Andrade, the Montreal southpaw didn't just set the record straight, but pulled off what many felt was impossible. Nothing should surprise us in this sport, but anyone that doesn't admit to being shocked at the sight of Andrade being counted out is telling a tall one.

Jeff Pryor previews this Saturday's rematch between super-middleweights Lucian Bute and Librado Andrade.
It's fair to say that Librado Andrade handled having his victory over Lucian Bute snatched away in the waning seconds of their bout just over a year ago, much more calmly than I did.
