I thought Bute fought a good fight but he did clinch way too much, and the ref should have been on his case more for that. But regarding the 12th round i don't think the fight should have been stopped personally.

I thought Bute showed great heart getting up, and i think if it would have been stopped it would of been just as worse and just as controversial as it is now. It would be Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor all over again. Which i thought was a robbery by the way.

And i don't really see why people are making such a big deal, of the ref telling Andrade to go to the neutral corner. Because even if he wouldn't have, it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the fight because the fight was already over anyway 3 minutes of the round had passed.

And the only reason the fight wasn't stopped sooner was because, a fighter cannot be saved in the final round. But i did think Lucian Bute deserved to win, because of the great heart he showed pulling himself up when he almost had nothing left.
