Librado Andrade (30-4, 23 KO's) vs. Donovan George (22-1-1, 19 KO's ) is set to take place on December 17th in Mexico. The IBF has sanctioned the bout as their 168 pound title eliminator and the winner will look to face the winner of Lucian Bute vs. Glen Johnson, that bout is set to take place in November. As we know Andrade has a bit of history with Bute and the chance of a third fight between the two is a very real possibility. Of course Andrade will have to get by a hard hitting fighter known as "The Bomb", an alias that suits the hard hitting fighter from Chicago very well. The fight that will be televised in Mexico and the USA should be a very entertaining bout.

We spoke to Andrade about the upcoming fight and got some quick thoughts on the December battle.

Pound4Pound: OK Librado, it goes without saying that everyone is going to ask you about the prospect of fighting Lucian Bute once again, so let's get that question out of the way!

Librado Andrade: I would love to fight Lucian again. I felt so much disappointment after our second fight and I really want to erase that bad memory from my mind.

P4P: Obviously the task at hand is Donovan George but you do realize everyone is going to want to ask you about Bute. Will you be able to focus on your December fight with George properly?

LA: Oh, most definitively yes. I know he is a very good and hard fitting fighter, my focus will be 110% on Donovan. I start training camp very soon and once it gets going it will be as if Lucian does not even exist. I will not think about Bute or talk about him once I start preparing for George. That will not be a problem for me at all.

P4P: How much do you know about George? Have you seen his fights?

LA: Yes I have and I know he is a very good fighter. He has earned his place in this title eliminator and I will not underestimate him at all. I always respect the man I am going up against and don't take anything for granted. This is a big opportunity for both of us and I know he will be ready, and I will be ready for him.

P4P: The fight takes place in Mexico and it will be the second time you get to fight in your country. You performed very well in your last fight there against Matt O'Brien, you must be thrilled to be fighting there again.

LA: Oh yes! This is a very big fight for me and I am so honored to be able to bring this meaningful fight back home in front of my friends and family. I look forward to fighting in Mexico again.

P4P: The Super Middleweight division has been one of the hottest in boxing over the past few years, some would say it is the most exciting division in boxing today. It must mean a lot for you to still be considered a viable contender in such a strong division.

LA: You know Bill, when I stated my career I never in my wildest dreams expected things to go this well for me. To have gone through all the things I have during my career and still be recognized and mentioned in a division like this is such a great honor. My hope to become a Champion is still alive and I am going to do everything I can to get another shot at the title.

P4P: Thanks Librado, we thank you for your time and wish you the very best in your upcoming fight.

LA: Thank you Bill, and thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my career, that's Golden Boy, Al Haymon, my trainers and most importantly my fans.
