There was literally 2 seconds left when Bute went down. Even if the ref had counted him to 10 correctly, then allowed him to continue fighting the final bell would have gone before Andrade got to him again.
Couldn't be saved by the bell in the last round of this fight (per rules). If he was unable to continue after a real 10 count, fight would have been stopped. By my 10 count, he was wobbling and not even able to face the referee at that time. Now, most refs wouldn't have stopped it unless he was not able to stand up. . .but this ref was so blatant with his cheating - it's a shame.
