This ref was indeed odd in BHop/Pav. He took a point from KP without so much as a warning, supposedly for rabbit punching. After that it was like he realized he ****ed up, so he just grabbed a point from BHop. Everyone in the room with me just went WTFatsch The irony was that fight probably had less fouling than nearly any other fight involving either guy:deal
it's something to see someone dying but it's competly different when you could have done something!Andrade will be stop then:bbb
yeah its in my brain somewhere just hazy, at least he had a sense of balance there, if anything I think he will allow for the fight to flow and jump in early rather than late, especially if he was the ref of that fight last week where the guy died

I'd never bet real money on boxing. Too unpredictable. But like you I did bet on Andrade (by ko) on both boxpicks.com and vcash. The odds are just too good. :deal
i'll watch it but i don't think it's not that anticipated. there was not one round you could give andrade. even in that 12 rd you couldn't score that round for andrade until that the kd. all bute has to do is pace himself and not get careless. andrade is a nice guy but the guy can't lick a stamp if you wet his tongue. the only thing that's world class about andrade is his chin but i think sooner or latter it's bound to break down.
well its this perception that allows me the great value. you aren't factoring in the referee and I am. Without the old ref, Andrade may be have a more focused fight and less interrupted line of attack. Bye bye Bute!! :hi:
Bute will win much more convincingly than in the first fight. Why was Bute not allowed to fight in the tournament?
the referee didn't show his stripes until the last few seconds. i gotta see if this fights on youtube. but the odds for this fight is ridiculously one sided that it's not even worth betting. bodog has bute the favorite $1 wins .22.
Bute is totally superior, he should win convincingly. However, anything can happen boxing. I pick Bute.
many would disagree with that. i actually think he wasn't that bad for the duration of the fight, but what if the new ref leans towards action and doesn't allow bute to hold at all and even warns him about it? instead of barking up andrade's tree? this could throw bute mentally and help andrade I swear I think this ref is going to be encouraging action Ross Greenberg wants a good fight!!!
