Should Andrade have a KO12 win over Bute?

if they would have called the fight a tko there would have been a rematch for sure . . . now bute will probably wont give andrade what i think he's earned a rematch. its a real shame.

Yes... if there was any other ref, it would be a KO. It is what it is... I feel bad for Andrade. A thing like this couldn't have happened to a better guy.

The IBF has the power to mandate a rematch.

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.

Totally agree with this post.

NO, But i think the ref should/could have stopped the fight earlier because bute was gone/done.

Bute won fair and square. The ref heard the 10 second warning and Bute beat the count anyway.

I would have no problem if the ref stopped the fight when Bute was falling around the ring. But after the knock down Bute was able to get up and obey the refs commands so stopping the fight then with no time left would have been ridiculous.

Common sense Bute won move on

I hoped for Andrade victory but Bute beat the count..No doubt.

EDIT: But he did not look like he could really continue, so maybe the fight should have been stopped and Andrade win by TKO. It's a tough call.
