    You see Magee wasnt as bad as many wanted to make out. Magee should have been given a count though Im sure it would have only been a matter of time, but consider Magee went into the 10th round and could arguably have won 2/3 rounds where as alot of the better known fighters didnt do as well ie Brinkley 9th round and lucky not to be stopped in the 5th, Miranda 3 rounds, Andrade (2) 4 rounds, Zuniga 4 rounds. Alot of the fighters noted here didnt win many rounds.

    Magee is a tough dude, that's forsure. His conditioning was excellent to be able to survive to so many bodyshots.

    He said to a Montreal station radio that he wouldn't have been able to continue. He's a class act and I'm sure about all Bute fans will show him much respect. I do.

    Bute has great power. Really sneaky puncher. He's the best in division based on skill and KO power.

    What a hometown stoppage. Magee was already to a knee and was going to make the count no problem. Once again Bute's personal ref helps him seal the deal.

    Yes indeed. The American referee was blatantly corrupt and Magee must have been lying when he said he wouldn't have been able to continue.

    This is what makes people so foolish and taken in by a tag that says S6. Magee gave a better account of himself than A Green did in his 2 fights in the S6, Abraham in his last 2 S6 fights etc

    Its funny because I never give Magee credit. After watching this fight I feel similar about Bute as I did Froch after he beat Magee, in that maybe they are not as good as I thought, even though I noted that Magee wasnt a bad fight for Bute

    I dont doubt the fight would have ended soon after but whether Magee said he was able to continue or not, the ref should have given a count.

    Yeah, I felt this way too.
    I also thought that Bute started fighting a bit too late. He could've finish that fight earlier. I guess he wanted to play it safe again. Those body uppercuts and that final chin shot were brutal though.

    In an interview afterward, Magee said it's was the good decision by the referee. Your hate is blinding you of good sense.

    Magee is one tough SOB, it took like 5 vicious body punches to stop him, he just kept getting up.

    I see a point to what was said.
    I dont doubt Bute would have finished Magee at some point soon, but the ref should have given a count, it is down to Magee then as to weather he stays down or gets up. Magee wasnt in as bad a way as when Bute was put down by Andrade, and Bute was given a count

    I felt Reid could have stopped Magee if he had of stepped it up and that Froch and Bute could have finished him in much faster time
