Should Andrade have a KO12 win over Bute?

[Dan...]

Course he should of. The count nearly went for half a minute ffs.

Last night was a disaster, there is no way that fight should've been allowed to continue with the state Bute was in.

You know if the same **** happened to Roy Jones Jr, you would be happy if they let it go on. Don't try to lie now

[-Hyperion-]

hell yes...

Bute went down with five seconds left in the round. He beat the ten count. There was no time left on the clock when he got up, so the fight was over. The ref was horse****, but Bute was the rightful winner.

[MANGLER]

Yes. Andrade did what he had to do and the ref blew the call.

He wasn't allowed to continue because the fight was over. It was literally impossible for Bute to be hit by another legal punch.

[BLOODGOD]

I think he should.

by the rules though, he wasnt even up, he was leaning on the corner......the ref didnt ask him to walk or asked him if he was ok, nothig, that was a KO....

But it is the referee's prerogative to decide on whether a fighter is ok to continue. That's how the Chavez-Taylor fight is justified. Many refs would agree than when the time runs out all the fighter has to do is beat the count (and I thought Bute looked worse than Taylor). This all became moot when the ref got weird about Librado allegedly leaving his corner.

Last night I thought that Andrade got jobbed, but after reviewing it today I think Bute had a legit win despite the piss poor job by the hometown ref.
