From what i saw, Bute could barely stand. Now the one thing i had a problem with was that bute was leaning against the ropes when the ref was counting him and when asked to walk forward, he didnt look very stable and didnt really walk forward. In my book, if i was the ref i would of stopped it. If a fighter can not walk forward properly without the use of something to hold them up then the fighter can not continue whether or not it is 20 seconds or 3 seconds to go.
