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 put 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.
