    Lets not start another argument here (Andrade) as he gave Andrade his rematch, but we would be on the same side on this one if it happens.

    No argument here. Glad he provided the rematch etc... My problem was with "Marlon the Magician". BUTE is a really good fighter. My 1st exposure to him was that fight. I've seen others and was impressed, and am open to embracing him. Especially against Hopkins...:good

    Even if Bute is my favorite boxer I was angry when he fought Mendy and Marlon was the ref... He should never ref another Bute fight.

    Sissy talk

    Has nothing to do with GBP.

    Has to do with a bad ref call, that ignored the following assessment shown by replay;

    The WBC Board of Governors, after reviewing the video of the fight, unanimously declared that the action reflects a Clear intentional lifting the body followed with a push by Dawson to Hopkins, that made him fall on his left side with part of his body out of the ropes.


    Also has to do with Dawson's lack of popularity and poor money making potential.
    The WBC is not a charity and definitely not a "Not-For-Profit" organization.
    If Dawson wants a belt handed to him, perhaps he shouldn't fight out of the US and would have a better chance if he would move to Canada or Wales. :yep

    The fight was on PPV because HBO was terrible with their budgeting.

    They wasted a lot with the Bradley-Alexander snoozefest.

    Hopefully hirschman will improve things.
