I'd just like to get someone to actually tell me what specific rule wasn't followed. If there are 20, it shouldn't be hard to pick 1...
I guess he didn't read that article ESB published back then that proved the referee was in the right, with quotes and references to the IBF rules. However, I do think the referee was wrong to interfere with the in fighting at the end of the 12th.
Good fight all things considered. Makes sense for Bute and allows some comparison to Froch. Although it will again be in Canada. After this Bute should aim for a couple of big fights or the Ottke-image will keep following him. But right now I will just enjoy that Bute - Johnson is going to be an interesting fight ... with bute as big favorite.
Abgeko-Mares this week-end, was it in Canada? Williams-Lara? Williams-Martinez? Cintron-Martinez? Alexander-Mathysse? You want me to go on?
Never since Bute-Andrade I except for the joke against Mendy, who nobody cared about. Won't be different this time around. Neutral referee and judges in Montreal.
At least Bute is fighting a fighter with a pulse now even tho GJ has seen better days. Finally Bute fights a worthy opponent. Bute one of the most overrated fighters in the world along with Lemieux.
Jeez, I never said Montreal or Canada was the only place for corrupt refs and home cooking. USA, UK, Germany, etc. Other places are proud of their corrupt refs, you guys are in denial. Not real boxing fans, if anything goes for your home boy, or favorite. I am a USAn, and I''d love to see the cheating, Ward get sparked. I want to see fair fights, not refs determining outcomes with their corrupt actions. Shame on anyone who pretends to need me to go over again what happened at the end of Bute Andrade I. I don't waste my time with such trolls who know what happened. atsch:smoke
"Shame on anyone who pretends to need me to go over again what happened at the end of Bute Andrade I. I don't waste my time with such trolls who know what happened." Didn't you bring that fight up? We know what happened, but you obviously don't know what rule wasn't followed by the ref, or you would've told me by now.
