Bute-Andrade rematch 11/28!

[Kev]

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.

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

How would he? If you don't think there were only 3 seconds left there were clearly less than 10. The clock doesn't stop when the fighter is on the floor so those seconds would have run out whilst he was getting up.

Even if Marlon had given a fair count, as soon as Bute stood up the fight was finished, another punch wouldn't have been thrown.

The Marlon debacle if anything takes away from Bute because he did get up, and he did finish the fight.
