Not Impressed with Bute

When I first saw the end of that fight, I thought a great injustice was done to Andrade.

I thought the ref did a very poor job at the end of that fight. He resumed his personal count at 8 or 9 when, in fact somewhere in the amount of 20 sceonds had gone by.

That being said, the result was the proper one. Bute had gotten up by the 8 count.

Bute went down at :59'
was back on his feet at 1:07-1:08.

Apparently that's all he needed to do. He didnt need to be fight worthy, and wasn't. He would have certainly been KO'd if the fight had any more time. You can even make a case that the ref should have declared Bute down on at least 1 occassion prior to the final punch, as the ropes held him up at least once.

 

yes you did...and i couldnt agree more.
