yes he is but pajkic has a great chin & i think butler is a good opponent but pajkic has beaten kielsa twice & 2 solid journeyman in firtha & gavern.he also koed sheldon hinton in his pro debut.i hope fields is up next but ive posted before pajkic could flex his right to fight for the british commonwealth title.if fields\pajkic happens itll be at casino rama(5000capacity)but if pajkic vacates the title(which could happen)fields will fight for the vacant canadian title at rivercree casino in edmonton vs sheldon hinton? hinton has an eliminator fight vs ken frank(5-0,#10 in canada)in september...the canadian scene is picking up again.

russian born canadian heavyweight artem lipanov is on the undercard.hope this card is on tv.

Yes. I like this matchup because after this I'll have a better idea whether Pajkic can be a bona fide contender or not.

I've seen Butler quite a few times against familiar names like Eddie Chambers, Malik Scott, Art Binkowski and Joey Abell. Except for his chin, Rafael is actually not a bad fighter (similar to Travis Walker) - he was the 2004 Midwest Golden Gloves champion at super heavyweight.
