I don't know how many times I have said this already. By the IBF rules, the fight was over as soon as Bute's gloves cleared the canvas, it doesn't matter whether or not he was able to continue. You can argue the fight should've been stopped prior to the KD or that Bute was allowed to hold and foul all night, but the end result went according to the letter of the law.
I am not a Bute fan for the record, but he would destroy Froch.
Lucian Bute looked at his corner he still had all his senses, yes he was badly stunned but he responded to the ref did he not ? he also walked back to his corner after the fight was over. I really can't believe people think the fight should of been stopped with no time left in the fight, it would of been one of the biggest robberies in the last few years had that happened.
