Bute v. Andrade Poll

[CFH]

I'm honestly revolted by what I just saw.

[CFH]

He was up around 7 or 8, but he was staggering around.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

Andrade wins and the cheating bastard ref steals it away from him. The ref cheated for bute throughout the whole fight. He needs to be investigated.

[thewhale]

Got to give it to Bute, in beat a 24 count hahahaha that has never been done before

[Youngblood]

I want to see a wider view of where Andrade was standing during the count. Not that I think it matters, as it was clearly a fix move. But I imagine the commision would like to see it too.

Disgusting.

I must admit I'm no expert but I know they do state the fighter HAS to go to the neutral corner and so was the ref right by the proper application of the rules?

Bute was up at 9 anyhow.

This will be controversial to say the least

Damn, we will be debating this 15 years from now

Does not matter. The final bell did not ring and Bute was not fit to continue, even if he did beat the count. The ref is not supposed to take the clock in consideration.

[RozzySean]

If Richard Steele was the ref, he would have stopped it 10 seconds before the knockdown. Andrade wins. If this referee worked Taylor/Chavez, Meldrick would have won because the fight would have never been stopped.

That's the biggest problem with boxing.

Andrade got jobbed by home cookin' for sure. Bute is freakin lucky. I hope there is a rematch so that Librado can correct this error in the records.

[Spicoli]

I still say Andrade looked a bit fatty.........but the ending was shitt with smoked out Ref shielding Bute. Andrade does not need a rematch....he will be in a huge fight next time out.....Bute.....Who

[BoxingGorilla]

You gotta make sure he goes to the nuetral corner. Everyone knows that.

[BoxingGorilla]

It reminded me of WWE and how the ref is never looking when 5 men jump in and pummle the loser with a chair.

as we all saw in the replay, Bute beat the count BUT the ref should have cleaned his gloves and told him to step towards him to see the state that he was in. clearly even after the 15 or so count Bute stumbled over to his corner only being held up by the ropes. if he would have come forward to the ref, he probably would have fallen again since he was out on his feet. much credit to both fighters. First Bute: even though i thought he grabbed on too much he still out boxed Andrade to win almost every round in my books. Second Andrade: this guy has got to have one of the biggest hearts in the sport. never giving up and coming out with a unofficial knock out of the Champion. This shit needs to stop in boxing but lets not take anything away from the fighters as its not their faults. Great fight for both men.

yeah my point is that i see people already writing shit about Bute. i'll be honest i wanted Andrade to spark out Bute and i thought he did but how is that Bute's fault that the ref is a dickwad. as much as i was angry about the ending result, i wont take anything away from Bute. unless anyone can prove that Bute and the ref had some sort of agreement than its just stupid to say shit about any fighter who clearly gave his all and left it all in the ring (and by all i mean ALL, being KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!!!) In paper Bute won, in almost everyone's mind and heart Andrade won.
