Well everywhere i look all i find of the fight is the 12th round-but according to boxrec andrade was dropped earlier in the fight-anyone have footage???anyone who saw the fight was it a flash knockdown or did he take a knee (i doubt that very much)
Nah...I'd say it was legit. The punch caught Andrade on the temple, while he was off balance, and while he tripped over Bute's feet, the force of the punch was such to move him into that position. Akin to the Whitaker-Haugen kd...
[yt]LAaTE4c49V8[/yt] Watch at 3:03 Bute catches him with a left hook behind the right ear, Andrade loses his balance, he trips on Bute's foot and Bute pushes him over. Would Andrade have gone down if he hadn't tripped and been pushed down by Bute, just on the basis of the punch he took? No! So...not a knockdown.:good
When a slip is caused by the imbalance after a hit, even if the boxer is not hurt, the ref usually calls it a kd. A fall is called a kd unless the ref is sure no hit could have caused it. But it is sure that Andrade was not hurt or if he was, he recovered very fast!
Not a slip - a push! It was actually the thing that convinced me about the ref´s bias. No way can an objektive ref - placed as he was - rule it a kd. I dont mind what happened in round 12. Try watch the fight, everytime he breaks he´s holding Andrade back, even after the "box" signal!
