I laugh at the fact that you guys are all judging Wright on one fight. None of you have ever seen any of the other fights he has officiated. Besides, the IBF backed him up for the Andrade fight, and said that the rules had been followed. You are all quick to criticize, but if that's such an easy job, why don't you go?
What mistake did Wright make in that fight?
He let Bute hold too much? A few days ago, there was a poll here and about 90% said that holding was part of the game. So a ref ho let this happen can't be blamed.
He gave Bute too much time to recover after the KD? Unless you can actually prove that Andrade didn't get out of his neutral corner, you can't blame the ref, because he respected the rules. Besides, Bute beat the count even if the ref hadn't stopped it. Look at a replay and make the count. At 8, Bute is up.
Bute was out so he should've stopped the fight? The ref's job in that case is to protect the fighter. The fact that Bute did make it through the 12th round prove that Wright made the good decision.
