Haven't watched it since it aired but I vaguely remember the ref taking his sweet ass time counting.
The count itself wasn't that bad...but he took his sweet time once Bute was up and kept pointing Andrade to go to the neutral corner when he was already there lol, like 3 times.
It definitely wasted time because Bute was barely standing, I think Andrade ended up getting the chance to run across the ring but he barely missed the last shot of the fight.
i agree ..if you really count from the moment he went down to when he stood up , it was under 10 count.....that sh1t gets exaggerated around here because of that stupidass ref...
Bute did make it up before the count, but it was a long count on a real time clock IIRC. And then of course the ref wasted the remaining seconds, it only would have taken a punch or two to put him down again.
I give Bute credit for getting up - he was GONE. Too bad for Andrade he was a beast the 2nd half of that fight
Bute would have beat that count regardless of the ref giving him a long count. 2 seconds Andrade could not have finished him. Bute deserved the win.
No he didn't. The ref went out of his way to make sure Bute won. Tells me all I need to know.
