Bute was out. There is no doubt. The ref could have asked Bute to take a step towards him. There is no way Bute would have been able to. In fact 99% of refs would have stopped the fight without counting. Well, we all know it was corrupt. Damn.. I just really like both these guys and I wanted to be able to say "See guys, that is why I talked up Bute so much as a p4p fighter 3 years ago when most people didint know him. And now.... he is involved in the biggest scandal of the decade. Just sad. Only remidy is for the IBF to reverse this. A rematch is not satisfactory for justice. Andrade already won and sould not have to be the challenger again. I think a reamtch is in place but with Bute as the challenger. IBF? We are all waiting for you.
yup bute was out for the last 60 seconds of the round. then he was kd and used th ropes to get to his feet. after the 20 second count he couldnt even walk on his own without stumbling. i'm with you on this. andrade won the fight with or without the count and the ref took it away from him. he gave a final warning for holding after 11 rounds of it and never took a point. ripoff.
