December 04, 2009 Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Joey Abell hits Raphael Butler after the bell, but no one really heard the bell and the ref was the one who allowed the fight to continue. A little riot breaks...

Yeah there was a photographer on here talking about that. It was pretty clear the bell sounded, should have stayed a DQ IMO. Can't make exceptions for this.

If you look at Abell's posture it seems like he did hear the bell. Because he drops his hands but then as the ref brings the fighters together...again. Abell sees Butler approach him, probably figuring he heard wrong -- and starts punching. They tell you protect yourself at all times... Abell was already in a mode to finish Butler and figured rather than put his hands up and step back .. he would finish Butler if the fight was continuing.
