I'm asking you to link to the rule as it applied to this fight. You have already been cited the applicable IBF rule that contradicts what you're saying. If you want to have a general discussion on the principle, then consider this question: why should a referee 'stop' a fight if there is no danger to the fighter in continuing? Isn't the purpose of a TKO to protect the fighter from danger?
No. This article explains everything in minute detail and answers all questions, in my view: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=17659&more=1
The ref was like 5........6........7....... GO.... go..... BACK ......TO YOUR CORNER..... 1.....2.........3
I know man, Im just exagerating a bit. But he was like 5-6-7.. Go back to your corner, and then after 10 seconds he went back to 5
The rules clearly say the count as to be suspended and can only be resumed when the fighter is back to the neutral corner. If I'm not mistaken the count was stopped at 7 and resumed at 7. He counted 7 twice so obviously that was wrong but he did not resume the count at 3 or 5.
Ok I will repeat myself again. Since GBP, Andrade, Howard Grant (his trainer) and the IBF did nothing, did'nt protest officialy then it must be that this fight ended by the rules. I'm sure that Andrade as much more reasons than you to have a case here and he did'nt do it. So please all of you who feel defiled, aside from your obvious hate for the boxer, what is YOUR case?
There is no case, no one can change the results but fans know the truth. Look at the votes, most people know who really won that fight.
:good BigBone pretty much always seems to know what he is writing, I agree with this. Bute got a gift there. I give him Credit for blasting that plodder out in next fight but He got the easy way out in their first fight. Everybody loses and when its time has come you have to lose not get away like Bute did. Lucian Bute has yet to get the Christening Of a Boxer, a KNOCK OUT LOSS.:deal
There is also a video clip similar to this still-shot floating around somewhere. Andrade cost himself a world title. What I'd really like to know is why so many people act like the rematch never happened.
What I think is that you are a troll who likes to stir ****. The rematch more than cleared the matter up, so why ignore it?
