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
The time was 2’ 52” when the clock was disappeared from the screen, I counted another 5 seconds until the KD was produced so basically it was 2’ 57” of the 12th round.
About the fact that Andrade wasn’t in the neutral corner during the count, I already admitted that the most referees don’t pay attention to this rule and Marlon just used it to help Bute.
I also think the most referees would have stopped the fight before the KD, here you can have a case, but about what happened after KD the most people overreact IMO.
