Robinson's record is a bit deceptive, he's better than it suggests and arguably beat Sexton the 2 times they fought. It's a good fight to kick off the year but his team need to look further afield and bring in some tough Asians/Mexicans.

Would do Butler the world of good he went to one of those countries for a few months, sparring the best they have to offer. Scottish prospect, Jon Slowey, spent some time in Thailand and sparred some good fighters. In all fairness, he's not as talented as Butler so this should be seen as a must if he wishes to progress all the way.

The likes of Butler & Satchell could do worse then taking a trip to Thailand for sparring + a couple of low key fights. The experiance would be invaluable. Both appear to be hometown fighters at the momment which won't help them in the long run.
