Somehow I'm dumbfounded by this...
I read this about 35 times and I just couldn't get past it.
Looks like you just went in circles there...

Either I'm an idiot or your trying to sneak one past me, cause everytime I read that I found myself scratching my head and starting over with "First off..."

At one point in the 35 readings I found myself agreeing with you just cause I was confused with the 1st part of it...

Anyone else having this problem or Am I the only one?
What i was basically saying is that you was making a big deal, out of the holding like its one of the worst things ever witnessed in the sport. He let him hold a bit too much which i agree on, but its hardly like it was helping or would have changed the outcome of the fight. And its hardly like Bute was clinching all the time was it ? and Andrade was also allowed to get away with fouls on the inside especially using his elbows, and he was never warned for that. So like i said it works both ways doesn't it ?
Are you serious ICB?
What do you mean it wouldn't have changed it?
It was clear and IT'S clear that Bute cannot fight on the inside.
So yes, YES it would have changed the fight because Andrade would have landed many more punches would the inside figthting had not been stopped by Bute holding.
For you to say it wouldn't have changed the fight is way off because it was clear that Andrade did his best work on the inside.
