Round 3 over. Bute seemed to dodge a lot waiting for an opportunity to unload. Hard to score.

 

[Amren.com]

Hmmmm. TV scored all 3 rounds for Bute.

Round 4 over. Berrio seems to be in worse shape than Bute. Pretty sure this round went for Bute. More hitting in this round than the others.

Berrio taking some shots in 5th!

TV gave 4th round to Berrio. Berrio took some shots in 5th and looked like Bute might go for the kill but didn't happen. Find it hard to believe this isn't a 10-9 for Bute.

 

[Amren.com]

Bute up 4 rounds to 1.

Round 6 over. Think Berrio won round 6. Berrio warned by ref about low blow? Bute put in some nice shots in last seconds of round. If there was a minute more left, could have been very interesting.

Round 7 over. Slower pace. Bute did good last minute.

Bute 68-65

Bute 87-84

Round 10 over. I'll scream if TV cuts out at 11:30pm.

Over at boxrec under Bute's record they have the fight as a loss!Morons.It must have been quite a vicious knockout as Berrio had to be helped back to his corner.

I think it was a stoppage and he didn't drop. I'm rewatching the fight right now.

I found a link at BoxRec and was able to watch the fight - luckily, it didn't start until about 7:45 Pacific time, after I downloaded the media player.

I'm sure some people followed the updates, though - it's always good for one of us to do it.

He didn't drop but after being tagged for a bit, he took 3 wide open massive shots in a row in the face and then the ref jumped in.

Edit: One thing for sure, no one is going to say this fight was stopped prematurely. Berrio was totally sh!t faced punch drunk when the fight was stopped.

I remember some nuthuggers saying the Pavlik fight might have been stopped too soon.

Is Bute a Canadian citizen or does he just live and fight out of there? Edited by: Amren.com

Berrio was out cold, but stayed on his feet because he was supported by the corner of the ring. Ideally the referee should have stopped it one punch sooner. Berrio had to be carried back to his corner.

It reminded me of the infamous Emile Griffith fight in 1962 (there's a movie and documentary about it, both called "Ring of Fire") where the referee didn't stop the fight when the other boxer (Benny Paret) was out on his feet in the corner, and he was literally killed in the ring live on national TV (he never woke up and died ten days later).
