Librado Andrade was robbed from a win last night when referee counted 24 seconds after Bute was knocked down on the 12 round, judge for your self and give your opinion

Andrade got his butt whooped for eleven rounds, man just schooled but the ref favored the home town fighter who was out of it. Andrade was in his corner when the ref stopped counting to warn him and that gave Bute that extra time to recover. He also stopped counting again when the bell rang. A fighter cannot be saved by the bell in any round so the ref should have continued the count. Andrade was robbed but again he was schooled for eleven rounds.

Andrade got a lucky punch and Bute got a lucky count, In the end the better fighter still won. Bute will go on to do more in boxing then Andrade will (we hope) so the result is bad for Andrade good for boxing.

the hometown ref so helped bute win this fight no doubt about it. it took him for ever just to start couting and when he was counting insted of looking at butes eye he was starting at butes corner then tells andrade to get back to his corener when he was only 4 feeet away from the corner.

also when bute got up he was still leaning on the ropes and the ref didnt make bute walk foward ot see if he can continue. this fight was bullshyt

The whole count at the end of the fight is insignificant in the face of the whole fight. Plain & simple it was poorly judged from start to finish..Do not be smoke screened by the ending, it went on for 12 ronds. Its evidenced, especially at the end three rounds when the referee is pretending to stop the clutchin & holding, & as if was not on national t.v., at times the idiot ref. is stalking the fighters with what appeared to be a half angled body stance that got in the way of librado is straight forward direction to the fighter bute. And my big question is, why the hell is he trying to stop them from holding if only one of them is holding on(bute) & the other is still strong enough in the latter rounds to punch his way out. If anything the ref. should have been warning bute & perhaps giving point deductions. Furthermore, the ref. was negligent in regards to bute is safety-he could of got really hurt at the end, he was out on his feet & totally denfenseless. quick note, when the ref started the six count he turned quickly to librado to address the pretend neutral corner issue, & he did this as if he had eyes in the back of his head. Librado was in the corner & probably at this time thinking what the hell is goin on with the ref, who had been screwing him the whole night. There should not have been a count, bute was tko'd on his feet. First time watching both fighters, bute is a great champion, no doubt the heart he displayed at the end, & fought a courageous fight. Librado, class act who got burned again, & its enough to make me once again consider ending my viewing sports. Librado should be champ either way & he fought two people in that ring that night. Bute & idiot ref. One courageous(bute) & the other a coward with an agenda that cost librado a championship belt. Best of luck to both fighters, & sorry to the fighters, especially librado.
