Was Marlon Wright biased? Absolutely, he did a terrible job throughout the fight, letting Bute get away with everything. Should there be a rematch based on that alone? Certainly. However, regarding the final round, the seconds Bute's gloves cleared the canvas in the final round, the fight ended. Therefor, it does not matter if he was able to continue. The long count is also immaterial as Bute clearly is up by a regular count of 10.
Ive been looking at it in another way,The ref was a totally inept clown,should never ref another fight...But I also think Andrade was waaay to conservative in spots.Had 33 + minutes to work with and it all boiled down to tha last few seconds.Might be saying something?Hes boxing more,thats always good but needs to remember what brought him to the fore front.His aggresiveness and all out pressure....not to mention a steel head.Even in his last fight,I think he could have taken his opponent out but was thinking too much.In the Bute rematch I think he needs to go tribal.Get back to his roots.
