Looking back on Bute's illness pre-Andrade I...

No it wasn't. The ref is not supposed to make that consideration either even if it was.

From the Bouts Rules of the IBF, Bute's belt...Knockouts and knockdowns, if you geniuses, who knows so much, care to read...

Enough said, bring Johnson and Froch and Ward...:deal

 

The rule you sited proves Bute LOST.

Again, the ref doesn't take time into consideration, you have to be ready to continue when you stand, you don't just have to make it to your feet.

 

Hilarious. :tong

 

There was 3 seconds to go in the fight when Bute was knocked down. Maximum 4. I guess all your nice theories go down the drain.

Post me your video, Einstein. You write a lot of things off your head but you have nothing to support them.

 

Sorry man was writting my post when yours was aleready on here..

 

You don't have to be able to continue after the 12th round. At the end of all the other rounds, yes, but not the 12th. Why? Because you cannot be hit anymore, the fight is over.

 

Re-watched the video, there was 4 not 14.

He still wasn't up under his own power, though. Should have been considered down and counted out.

 

eh, Shobox is starting, I'll read it later.

 

You won't. You're too lazy for that. If it was not the case, you would have stopped writing and started reading from the beginning of the post. You didn't.

 

You're wrong again. Read the rule # 6.

 

So what does the term "saved by the bell" mean to you? Sound slike you're stating that Bute was saved by the bell when the rules clearly state that he cannot be.

The ref never asked Bute to walk to him. As Jeff pointed out, he was leaning on the ropes to stand. KO.

Again, I like Bute. But Andrade got raped there.

 

So you're saying rising = laying on the ropes. If the ropes are the only thing holding you up, you are considered down. Many fighters have been stopped while laying against the ropes unable to stand.


It was a bull**** ending to an otherwise non-descript fight. I give Bute credit for doing the right thing and giving Bute a rematch.

 

Other thing, since I could not upload the picture... I decide to put it as my avatar for some time so you can see.

4. When a contestant has been knocked down, the referee will order the standing contestant
to the farthest neutral corner and begin the count. If the contestant standing leaves the
corner before the count has been completed, the referee shall discontinue the count and
order the standing contestant back into the corner. The count will not resume until the
standing contestant has returned to the neutral corner.

Andrade was in the middle of the ring as you can see on the picture
