    If you look at Calzaghe last two fights, you will see that he gets in high gear for the first 45 seconds and the last 45 seconds of each round. In between, he just dance and leaves his hands low. He gets the rest he needs in that minute and an half.

    Same fight-same result,without Bute gassing out.A lousy boring 12 round decision for Bute.

    Headbutts & using his head inside
    Pushing Bute into the ropes using his forearm/elbows in Bute's face
    Bodyslam Bute into the corner post

    Of course Bute also did a lot of dirty tactics. Like holding excessively and picking up Andrade's leg in the fifth round.

    In other words, the referee totally lost control of the fight very early on.

    :lol: Well, you're a Bute fan so i have to take what you say with a grain of salt.

    But anyways, it was Andrade who picked up Bute's legs in his attempt to body slam Bute because he was so frustrated from the excessive holding. And that's where some of the other stuff came in.

    Andrade was frustrated because he was getting schooled. Never thought of that possibility?
