This is all nonsense. The Ref clearly wanted Bute to win. Why did he even bother looking over his shoulder to see what Andrade was doing? The first time he looks he doesn't even say anything! Then he looks over again and starts yelling at him. Nothing Andrade was doing should have even caught the ref's attention. His obligation is to the count. Andrade was up at 9 or 10 (i timed it) but he was leaning in the corner. 23 seconds after he was knocked down he is STILL leaning in the corner and the ref touches his gloves and deems him fit to continue. He never asked him any questions or asked Bute to move toward him. If Bute stumbled to his corner 23 seconds after being knocked down, why would ANYONE assume he was ready to fight at 10 seconds? He was OUT ON HIS FEET and the ref didn't even bother to check even after Bute spent the last minute of the round bouncing around the ring, not throwing punches. There is zero excuse for this and the ref was clearly biased from the first round on. And for those who didn't see the whole fight, Andrade was clearly pushed down by Bute, not knocked down. They showed 3 replays and it was clear as day to the announcers and everyone i watched the fight with.
I timed it as well and agree 100% with the 9 - 10 secs you refer to. In any case, he was obviously unfit to continue and the fight should have been stopped before the bell rang. End of story.
fukin hell, i just watched the clip and i am shocked, first of all i am shocked at how well andrade performed, secondly bute was fukin out of it that ref god paid there is no question about it fellas, ANDRADE GOT ROBBED
What do you mean?Andrade didn't perform well,he was losing the fight up to that point.He got robbed tough
Thunder.... you need to drop the bute nut-hugging man. Seriously, you'd argue black was white where bute is concerned. He has skills, but little power and seems to possess a weak body.
Apparently the ref is a dead man walking. It seemed he got stabbed and shot by Mexicans. Oh, the hatred.
