Quebec City, QC (My Sportsbook) - Lucian Bute knocked out Librado Andrade in the fourth round Saturday to make another defense of his IBF super middleweight title and stay undefeated. Bute (25-0, 20 KOs) knocked down Andrade before notching the KO at the 2:57 mark to clinch the bout at the Pepsi Coliseum. The victory came a little more than a year after he won in an initial title challenge from Andrade (28-3, 21 KOs). In that first fight between the two, which occurred in October 2008, Bute won in a unanimous decision. But Saturday's fight didn't get close to a 12th round, as Bute scored his second consecutive fourth-round victory. He defeated Fulgencio Zuniga by TKO in March. Additionally Saturday, Joan Guzman and Ali Funeka came away with a draw after going 12 rounds in an IBF lightweight title fight. That belt remains vacant. |
