Anyway this thread is about the rematch so here my prediction after a laborious calculus:

Bute – UD = 59.2%
Andrade – KO (TKO) = 37.3%
NC due to injuries = 3.5%
Bute – SD, MD or KO (TKO) = 0%
Andrade – SD, MD or UD = 0%
DRAW = 0%
Bute was not knocked down with 3 seconds left. The bell rang after tall the ranting to Andrade and the ref proceeded back to the count and then the bell rang. It was closer to 30 than 3 seconds.

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.
