butler was rocking him with uppercuts.pajkic can take a punch for sure considering the bombs he took early.butlers experience looked evident in the early rounds.pajkic comes with his head down too much & butler was exploiting it.butler is so big at 277 pajkic was having problems getting inside until the 5th.i had it 3 rounds to 2 for butler at the half way point.i gave neven rounds 2 & 5.rd 6 to pajkic, rd 7 to pajkic, rd 8 to butler, rd 9 to pajkic, i got it 5 rounds to 4 for pajkic going into the last round...rd 10 to pajkic...i got it 96-94 pajkic...great fight! a draw isnt out of the question but i think pajkic did enough.decision goes to pajkic...terrible scoring but the right guy won but 99-91?

97-93 were ok but 99-91 was a joke...i had it 96-94 but a draw was also ok but this harry davis guy is a joke & should never judge again & this is not his first bad scorecard...that upset me...butler put on a great fight & deserves more respect in that fight from the judges...im sure any canadian watching this did not give pajkic 9 rounds....just embarassing! other then that it was a great fight & an excellent effort by butlerLast edited by joe strong; 09-04-2010, 10:08 PM. -

I haven't seen the fight yet, it comes on TSN here at 9 pm Pacific time, but what you're describing doesn't surprise me.Originally posted by joe strong View Post
Butler is a decent heavyweight with a chin that's let him down a few times, a lot like Travis Walker. He was doing very well against Chambers and he was actually dominating Binkowski until he got KOed.
He has one-punch KO power, and some good boxing skills. He won the Golden Gloves at super heavyweight for the midwestern region of the US in 2004.
Fighting a strong opponent like Butler is a beneficial experience for Pajkic at this point in his career.Comment

butler was dominating the first four rounds.i gave pajkic the 2nd but it could have went to butler.pajkic got busy from round 5 on & won 4 of the last 5 on my card.96-94 but 95-95 was realistic too but when you watch it you will agree harry davis is an embarassment to canadian judging & is tarnishing the sport with his incompetence...i was very disappointed to hear 99-91Originally posted by Freedom Fighter View PostComment

he showed his power...he rocked pajkic several times with uppercuts but pajkic has a granite chin...pajkic got busy & made adjustments...i will say this,if butler comes in lighter then 277,i think he wins this fight.once he couldnt take out pajkic he resorted to 1 punch at a time & was looking for the homerun...i question neven's power.that could come back to haunt him.he now has 2 wins over kielsa & sheldon hinton on the canadian scene & solid wins vs gavern,firtha & now butler...hes got work to do but hes proven he can beat the C+ fighters...a fight in belgrade then tye fields the # 1 contender in canada could be in the new year...hopefully in edmonton but im sure it'll happen in casino rama.Originally posted by Freedom Fighter View PostComment

I thought that Butler atleast deserved a draw at the worst and a 1 round win at the best. and I have strong ties to the fighters on this card. Not to be a hater but as a Toronto resident that judging made me sick.Comment

i had it 96-94 but i gave pajkic the 2nd when it could have been a butler round.a draw was definately reasonable.its tough to beat a guy in his hometown but the judging was bad & davis should never judge againOriginally posted by Medved View PostComment
