It was a bit of a shady ordeal but the ref was in his right to re-order Andrade back to the corner but is there a rule that a fighter has to be all the way in the corner with his back touching the turnbuckle? Rules in boxing and the way refs impliment them are still some how some way up in the air and it seems as though they interprent them how ever they want to. All the refs need to go back to ref school and the rules revised so shiet like this don't happen again.

Does anyone actually know what the neutural corner rule is after a knock down?
The general interpretation is that you have to be in the vicinity of the corner, or far enough away that you would not present an immediate threat (like 1 second I think) to the downed fighter. It's one of those nice rules that isn't very clear, basically Andrade with almost any other ref in the world would be fine, he was within the area you'd expect his corner to be in between rounds, he was just leaning out slightly to look at Bute, kinda understandable given the situation. Also there was no justification for Wright ceasing the count to turn fully 180, he kept at it after Andrade was back on the turnbuckle. That was a robbery of the highest order for me, & I hope they get back in the ring & this time Andrade KO's him quicker
