Lucian Bute stopped Librado Andrade at 2:57 of the fourth round of their rematch Saturday in Quebec City, Canada.

Bute put Andrade down with a short left in the final round and sent him to the canvas again with a left to the body. The Mexican was hurt too badly the second time to get up.

The first meeting between the fighters ended in controversy when Bute, who had dominated the fight, went down in the final seconds and received what some described as a long count.

On the undercard, Ali Funeka and Joan Guzman fought to a draw in a 12-round lightweight bout.
