Bute v. Andrade Poll

[CFH]

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.

I agree with every word you wrote.

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.

Again, I agree completely. I'm not even a big fan of the guy, I was cheering for Andrade as well, but it's ridiculous to blame Bute.

My issue is not with Bute at all, but from the third round on the ref was clearly there to protect Bute, and disrupt Andrade. I believe a rematch with a new ref if more than justified.

A rematch is completely justified, hopefully if not in a more neutral location then with a completely neutral staff. The reffing was a total farce and some of the worst I have ever seen.

Nobody's blaming bute, they're blaming the corrupt asshole who gave him a 20 count and then let the fight continue even though bute couldn't stand on his own accord. And after the bell should have rang.

[mike_tha_man]

excatly my point, the asshole ref is the retard that should get the blaim. and i agree Killer, with a diferent Ref in a rematch this could be a highly anticipated bout especially with the controversy. i would like to see it

Smoger or Bayless would be great.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

Corruption has to be rooted out. The ref didn't even try to hide it. disgusting.

[CFH]

I think the outcry generated by this fight will leave the IBF no choice but to stage a rematch.

Smoger is the best ref around. I wouldn't complain about Bayless either, though to be honest I'm not all that familiar with him. I've never heard anything bad about him though.

alright guys good chatting. goodnight to all and since its 230 pm here in Korea its time for me to get to work, later

yes a rematch now that Andrade has the advantage...after that KO, but Bute will never ever go in there with Andrade again.

And this shows Kessler that belts are not important.... I hope that in the Ring Andrade gets past Bute to recognize the KO

Why not? He was schooling him for almost the entire fight. He'll know that he got careless at the end when he decided to trade shots with Andrade. I'd be surprised if he didn't fight Andrade in his next fight. The IBF won't give him any choice in the matter if justice is delivered.
