Librado Andrade vs Lucian Bute My Thoughts.

[ICB]

I was pissed off at the time, probably because I was cheering for Andrade, but the more I think about it, the more I think the same way as you Ice.

I thought you would be cheering for your fellow Canadian Bute, i guess you like Andrade's exciting style better. But anyway i think what people are making too much of deal over is the ref telling off Andrade, about not being in a neutral corner.

But the fact is it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the fight what so ever, because the time was already up in the round so Andrade wouldn't have got another chance to finish Bute. I just think the ref may of been excited and didn't deal with the situation well, or he could of been trying to help Bute.

But either way it makes no difference because like i said, the time was up in the round. I think the real debate is whether the ref made a good call letting Bute survive the fight. And i think he made a good call IMO, Bute pulled himself up like a true champion at the count of 8 there was no long count.

And Bute was looking at his corner infact he looked twice at his corner, so IMO he was still aware. Although there was no question he was in serious trouble, but i think Bute deserved to win based on winning almost every single round. And also for showing champions heart for pulling himself off the canvas like a true champion, and the ref decided he wanted to let the fight continue and Bute won.

End of IMO the ref telling Andrade to go into the neutral corner is irrelvant, it was all about the ref's decision whether to let Bute to continue nothing else.
