In Quebec City on ESPN's Friday Night Fights, Librado beat Eric Lucas. I know I won the fight because I came with the intent to knock him out and I did.” It was outrageous! If this is the way to lose a fight, then this is the way I want to lose. Andrade said: “He ( Bute ) was clearly out. After the fight, the referee declared that in his opinion, Bute would not have beaten the count had Andrade not moved out of his neutral corner to gain an unfair advantage. Wright interrupted the count to warn Andrade, because according to his interpretation, Andrade did not remain in a neutral corner. Controversy ensued as the referee Marlon B. Bute nearly hit the canvas a couple of times on his own and finally got knocked down by a strong right hand with two seconds left.

Prior to the last round, the two fighters, in a rare display of respect in boxing, embraced each other rather than simply touching gloves. Throughout the punishment, Andrade showed no facial, or mental wear and tear and continued to press the fight each round by coming forward, at Kessler. Kessler landed 348 punches, almost all to the head of Andrade. In the Kessler fight, Andrade showed an incredible ability to endure an all-out assault. In 2005, Kessler himself had used Andrade for a three-round sparring session while training in Los Angeles for a fight with Anthony Mundine. You have to have the mentality of a champion.". Andrade declined this request at the behest of his manager Al Haymon, who told Andrade: "You can't have the mentality of being a helper for another fighter. He also gained some recognition for being asked to be Bernard Hopkins sparring partner in preparation for Hopkins' rematch with Jermain Taylor. Prior to the Kessler fight, he was best known for his first round knockout of former contender Richard Grant and defeating former middleweight champion Otis Grant. Though ranked in the top twenty-five in the division for the last couple of years, Andrade has faced little real opposition leading up to his bout against WBA/ WBC champion Mikkel Kessler.
