care to explain to me how that can compare in any manner to froch-dirrell??
Andrade had Bute out on his feet and beaten but was robbed of a win and a world title by shady hometown officiating.

Dirrell outboxed & eventually outslugged Froch by a wide margin but was robbed of a win and a world title by shady hometown officiating.
But Jaz the point is the round was already over, when Lucian Bute went down. All he had to do was beat the count, and respond to the ref. Its the actions of the stupid ref, telling Librado Andrade to go in the neutral corner.

Which added to the controversy, which wasn't needed. Because if that hadn't of happened. Lucian Bute still would of won regardless, because the time in the round was already over. And no one would have been thinking that Lucian Bute deserved a loss, people make too much of it.

Yes the ref was bad but he didn't change the outcome of the fight.
Watch that final round and how long Wright kept the two of them separated when he was breaking them up. It should have been stopped when Bute was only kept up by the ropes. People focus on the final round, but Wright's incompetence throughout that fight was the single worst refereeing performance I've seen.

Anyway not that it matters, Carl Froch would beat them all on the same night whilst simultaneously shagging his bird.
