The ref didn't make him walk out of the corner, nor did he make him answer a question.

That, coupled with the fact that he let the time run out means there was a robbery.

Had there been some time on the clock, one more punch would have ended it, or if he was forced to walk anywhere, the ref would have called it off, because I don't think he could even walk at that point. He was just resting in the corner looking at his people.

Why BUTE should walk he get up at 8 and fight was over.Andrade knock him down 2 seconds before fight was over.

Because even with little time remaining you are still required to prove that you are competant to keep fighting.

Simple as that.

Wrong. If you read "a contrario" the rule #6 of the IBF rules, you will understand that the timekeeper was supposed to ring the bell as soon as Bute was up. It doesn't matter that he wasn't fit to box or leaning on the ropes. All the controversy would've been avoided if the timekeeper had done his job.

Every other match I've seen, the timekeeper has rang the bell as soon as the referee resumed the fight by saying box or go or whatever, after he was satisfied that the fighter could go on.

In any event, you are wrong, because there was two seconds left when Wright said go, hence why Andrade was coming forward when the bell rang. There was time left.

i think bute barely beat the count but i also think the IBF should keep andrade as no 1 contender and bute should have to fight him again. andrade is one tough bastard, he lost to kessler, and then knocked out steiglitz and mack to get a shot at bute, so you know andrade isn't going away
