- The fight result is very controversial in Montreal. On Montreal Talk Radio, a majority of listeners say Andrade was robbed. A caller said it was the most egregious boxing outcome he ever saw.

- A boxer must go to the neutral corner when his opponent is on the ground as result of a punch. He told Andrade to go to the neutral corner three times.
Controversy or not:

- the referree respected the neutral corner rule
- Bute would have gotten up in any event
- Bute completly dominated the fight
- The only reason Bute went down was because he wanted the give the crowd a show in the 12th, but he did get back up
- Bute would probably win against Andrade again
- Calling the Montreal boxing scene corrupt is laughable (again, Marlon B. Wright is a personal friend of Howard Grant's and he could actually have been more severe towards Andrade (elbows etc.)
