McNeeley-Butterbean Bout Ends In Controversy The McNeeley-Butterbean fight ended in confusion as referee Jay Nady ordered a halt with one second left in round one.   Although Butterbean had scored with a heavy uppercut and a four-punch flurry, McNeeley did not go down and his hands were still up.   [The Boston Globe - 06/27/99]
