Should Bute have been counted out against Andrade?

The food poisoning story is true, in the post-fight interview, Bute said in french that from the ninth round he was done and the crowd helped him go until the 12th

 

Normally, he's even better in the late rounds...

 

This is the exact truth. Bute insisted to do it even when doctors & his team were trying to convince him otherwise. Props to him but it almost backfired and the result gave haters some reason to hate.

Many don't know that the reason he didn't just outbox Andrade in the 12th like for 10 of the 11 previous rounds, is because he had nothing left in the tank and didn't have a choice but to stay right in front of Andrade for the entire round.

 

I say no.

But the ref should/could have stopped it prior to the knock down.

 

THIS!

:good

 

its not too slow at all. In less than a year we've had Kessler vs Ward, Froch vs Dirrell, Abraham vs Taylor, Kessler vs Froch, Dirrell vs Abraham, and Ward vs Green. Compare that to any other division. Is that too slow??

I don't think its too slow at all. People are just too impatient.
