Bute v. Andrade Poll

[HattonTheHammer]

Part of me actually feels sorry for marlon

Biggest fight of his career and real chance to shine and he totally choked under the pressure of a big moment.

Andrade has every right to feel robbed, had the ref of done his proper job bute would of got the standing 8 with a good 10 seconds left and marlon would of had to stop the contest as he was clearly out.

But lets not forget bute had won 8 of the previous 11 rounds and but for a lapse in concentration late on was the better man on the night.

Me thinks a rematch is in order!!!!!!!!!!

No he is right Bute did exchange punches in the 12th round to give the crowd a show, he almost payed for it. It was a good learning experience for him that you never have the fight in the bag until all 12 rounds have been completed.

No, you're saying what he should have: "he exchanged punches in the 12th to give the crowd a show."

He said "he went down just to give the crowd a show..." -he's attempting to diminish the knock down.

And, I disagree with you both with your usage of the word ALMOST... he traded punches and got put on the canvas. That's paying for it; there's no almost about it.

I am not diminishing the knock down. He just shouldn't have put himself in the position of trading punches in the 12th round of a fight in which he completely dominated. I am looking forward to the rematch; notwithstanding the controversy, it was a great fight.

This was a lose-lose freak situation for Wright. He has always been a very meticulous referree and it's really a shame.
He applied the neutral corner rule yet there is controversy for overzealous application of the rules.
If he hadn't applied the neutral corner rule, there would have been a controversy as well.
And imagine if he had declared Bute unfit to pursue with 5 seconds left. Bute dominated the fight. He called it right.

Mayorga got stopped when the final bell went and he clearly was in contention to win the fight on points. From the 1st bell to the last it is the refs job to apply the rules all the way through the fight and not make any special dispensations for particular situations.

Andrade was more than far enough away to be considered in his neutral corner and even when he did go right into it wright continued to shout orders at him knowing full well bute was earning the time to drag himself and show the ref his gloves.

Had the situation of been handled correctly bute would of got the standing 8 with a good 6-7seconds left and the ref considering the physical state he was in and that andrade could quite easily of walked up and smashed bute in the head causing severe damage would of had no option but to call the fight off and declare andrade winner via TKO.

How does everyone like my new Andrade avatar? Just fishing for compliments....ahaha.

A valid point. Yet even if one were to admit your hypothesis, I don't believe that the call would have been so crystal clear. Bottom line, a rematch is in order.
And whether the referee erred or not - I think that valid points can be made for both contentions -, it's a shame that a fight of such quality was tarnished by controversy.

You have to love conjecture presented as fact--

montsegur1234, you're truly an idiot. Bute went down because he got KTFO.

No need to insult me. I don't think the context of a boxing forum warrants such exegesis of a banal comment.
And if you want to have a discussion on the epistemology of causality, let me know.

Well, montse, I'm glad you found your thesaurus. I wasn't being too critical, you made a lazy statement that in fact insinuated something ridiculous. Ridiculous, not banal. Your statement would have been banal if it had been correctly stated, ergo if you would have said he "traded punches to put on a show" instead of "he went down to put on a show"...

But, that's what you said and you have to own it. Welcome to SaddoBoxing.

but if you misspoke, that's fine, don't worry of it.

Now, if you want to have a discussion about the epistemology of pretension and how it applies to over "wordsmithing" statements, find a different forum.

I Think there were zero seconds left. Bute went down with 2 seconds left, i think.

Wordsmithing notably seeks to enhance clarity of content. And I thought "epistemology of causality" to be quite clear. Nothing pretentious about using the obvious and clearest term to make a point. You clearly understood what I meant this time around. Same thing with "exegesis"; it was the best word to make another point. And again, you knew exactly what I meant.

As for banal, the content in question was indeed quite banal. It was so banal that I chose to take a shortcut in causality. I wrote:

"The only reason Bute went down was because he wanted the (sic) give the crowd a show in the 12th, but he did get back up"

I chose not to underline that the last causalistic element in the equation was Andrade punching Bute in such a manner that it led Bute to fall to the ground. In other words, I wanted to avoid a tautology for rhetorical purposes. However, this excess manifestly led to a misinterpretation of my point.

Good one on epistemology of pretension lol and I agree, let's get back to discussing boxing. It's all good, I'll try to be sharp as best I can be.

The recent verbal masturbation in this thread is nauseating.

It seems like it was between 2 or 3 seconds.

Hey dude, I wasn't being serious at all. Sorry for the annoyance.
