Absolute Blasphemy.

That was the worst refing job I have ever seen. Not only should Bute have been DQed for holding, the Ref went out of his way to step in and pull Andrade off every time Andrade got inside and was doing work. You could see it all fight. Every time Bute looked uncomfortable the referee jumped in and stopped the action.

De****able!

Andrade would have knocked Bute out earlier in the fight with proper refereeing.

Even in the 12th round one time when the ref pulled them apart he held them apart for a good 10 seconds to let Bute get his composure.

AND in the final break before the the knockdown the ref deliberately blocked Andrades path towards bute, buying him an extra second or two.
Howard Grant should have knocked that clown of a ref the **** out honestly.

Now on too my thoughts on Bute. Bute is a well schooled fighter. Quick, good combinations, but his movments appear forced and his defense is not instinctual.

Kessler would have an absolute field day with him.

Without the ref, it would have been like KO9 or KO10 for Andrade.

That ref gave Bute all the breaks in the world. That was really sad because Andrade practically lives in Montreal now. I guess he does not speak French well enough.

The ref ****** he was a Bute cheerleader. In the words of George Foreman, "he gets no chesse on his chesseburger."

[egreezy]

Bute's celebration after the announcement is what topped off everything. I don't see how whoever was behind this can mess with ppls lives and careers like that and think its alright because "our guy" won

[!! Shawn]

Every time the Ref let Andrade punch out of Butes clinches Andrade wreched Bute. Bute was hurt several times during the fight, and every time the ref jumped in to save him.

I agree that without the hometown ref that Bute gets worn down and stopped around the 8th or 9th round.
