    It was just by coincidence the referee was out of position to see 'em.

    The ref did see, and warned him. Only 2 strayed too low, the others were borderline.

    I saw two of them. The first one the ref warned Pascal (as he warned him for his first rabbit punch). The second one, the ref was moving away from the fighters and didn't see it.

    No case for the corrupt ref conspiracy theory here. Plus, fights have been fair in Quebec for years. The only case being bad was that last Bute-Andrade round which would have had no impact since there was less than 10 seconds left to the round when Bute went down. He got a 15 seconds count but was up after 8 seconds and the fight had ended.

    Judging have been fair and refs also.
