    Quite simply that is not true. The picture on here shows Andrade was half way across the ring. That's different to being 2 steps out of the corner. It's bad luck for Librado, but he did break a rule. He looked like he was trying to do his best Jack Dempsey impersonation.

    Ive seen that pic but Ive seen others where he was close enough to the corner...Not much will convince me that wasnt Wright blatantly trying to assist Bute..was it unfair? No but I dont think it would have been the same if the situations were reversed.

    Perhaps not, but we'll never know. In that pic Andrade was well out of his corner and the ref was still applying the count. Regardless, it was completely irrelevant anyway. Andrade would not have had the chance to throw another punch, but we've been across this sooo many times before. It was good to see a referee follow the rules IMO.

    Not seen that Pac knock down before, he was really hurt , more so than i have ever seen him. I knew he was vulnerable to body shots, and assumed that was how Skinny floored him.

    To me the time was up already so it did not matter what Andrade could have done, as all Bute needed to do was stand up, which he did.
