For people not to say those extra seconds aren't precious should ask Mosley when he was in against Mayorga. Now that was a fight in which fighter was not in the neutral corner
Yes he was knocked down with 3 seconds left, its just no fighter can be saved by the bell in the final round. Which is why the bell wasn't rung, as the ref hadn't made his decision whether or not to let Lucian Bute continue.
Watch this clip he was knocked down with about 3 seconds left in the round, the round was over by the time Lucian Bute got up.

The count itself was close take away from the time left in the round, looking at this video I counted from the time Bute actually went down to the time he got up...Not the time Marlon started to count.....
I counted to 9 with so thew time was questionable but fact is if Marlon counted when he was supposed to and the way he was supposed to
Andrade would of had time to put Bute down again....Lucian was rteady to go
