I Am Romanian But........

Agreed, stuff like this just gives boxing a bad image but props to Andrade for being a man at the post fight interview(like always)

Of course im a bute fan but Andrade was robbed, Bute was out cold and the ref should have stopped the fight, he had no legs, his eyes were gone, he couldnt walk nothing, the ref made some b.s. excuse about telling Andrade to stay in his corner even though he was...

Bull**** and i feel bad for Andrade cuz he deserved that win

I agree completely with you ( being a Bute fan myself). But I looked at the IBF rules, and saw that:

6. The bell will not save a boxer in any round of the bout. If a boxer is "downed" just before the 3-minute bell in any round, the referee's count shall continue and the bell will not ring until the boxer rises and his hands clear the floor

What I understand from that is that if Bute was still down at the end of the count, he's supposed to lose the fight, but if he stands, he wins. If you apply tat rule litteraly, to stand is enough, you don't have to be "able to fight". I could be wrong though, English not being my native language...

So if that rule applies as I think, Bute wasn't robbed. Otherwise, it was.

But bute could barely stand , the ropes were holding him up, either way a rematch needs to happen to settle this

I surely want a rematch. And I think Bute would win it. He won't make the same mistakes, trying to put on a show for US TV...

Agreed, i think it will be a lot like the first fight except he wont switch his gameplan in the 12th to put on a show,
