Bute Andrade - outrageous refereeing

Even if he Andrade was stuck to his neutral corner the ref would have still said Bute was able to continue which he very well wasnt. The ref was an idiot.

 

I've seen fighters in worse condition then Bute allowed to continue. He still raised his gloves, obviously satisfying the referee. That however is the only contentious part, as I've said all along.

 

Cheers Duke, very kind of you

 

Andrade cost himself the fight. He shouldn't have left the neutral corner.

Pull up the sheets... this one has been put to bed!

 

and him standing there has was to do with the state of Bute, look at him half bent backwards over the ropes :rofl:rofl

 

I've stated all along that the only possible point of contention is Bute and whether he could have continued. Go back to my first post here. Unfortunately it's taken 6 pages for some to catch on. However the ref spoke to him, and asked him to raise his gloves presumably, which he did, indicating he was capable of defending himself.

 

Bute couldn't even stand up straight, it was a knock out.

 

The ref's mistake was not asking Bute to walk forward. However, this is not mandatory.

 

You're right. There nothing in the rules requires the ref to ask the fighter to walk forward.

It was the referee's call. If he went the other way and declared Andrade the winner with zero second left on the clock. People on the other side of the fence would be calling for a rematch.

Either way. Andrade said he wants a rematch. Bute said he has no problem fighting a rematch with Andrade.

Every one wins!

 

I'd have no problems picking Bute by decision again. I know he was in the heat of battle, but if he just taken a knee towards the last 30 seconds, he'd have gotten out of there a lot easier. It'd have been a smarter option.

Have a look at Bute mate. He was out of it.

 

And the fight was over...
