All I kept thinking throughout the fight is that this guy is the #5 168 pounder and a 39 year old guy who hasn't fought in almost 5 years is hitting him cleanly and snapping his head back. I realize this isn't the time or place to say this but Roy in his prime would dominate the current super middles in the same fashion he did back in 1994-1996....possibly would have looked better vs. this current crop.
I agree with you Philla. Broxi was trying to tell me the ref's count was fine, which it obviously wasn't. Also, what would have happened had Bute not gotten up until, say, 1:14? Now THAT would have been a travesty. As it is, it was merely a highly controversial, but ultimately harmless screw up. But it could have been much worse.
waved him off after the 3 minute mark even though he beat the count? That's worse than Chavez-Taylor.
