Comments Thread For: Paul Butler: Naoya Inoue Needs Me To Be Undisputed, I'm Desperate For The Fight!

[PBR Streetgang]

Butler is a good fighter with some nice skills but I see it ending violently bad for him.

Randoms win the lottery, one will never be a winner based on only believing you can, its the old writing of a cheque you cannot cash.

Cant see anyone at this weight beating Inoue, he is not just a massive ****er but also very skilled, the sky is the limit for him.

The difference in level between Inoue and Butler is even bigger than Douglas vs Tyson, moreover...

Butler should defend it once and then fight Inoue. That way he enjoys having a title for a little while.

[Rodtang]

No, but he fought Rodriguez in Glasgow on the Taylor/Baranchyk undercard.

I'm glad Butler is up for it, but someone on his team will advise him to make a stay-busy defense first. At least get one defense in before he's sent to the wood chipper.

Yeah but that was a few years ago. Probellum didn't exist then. The point I'm making is that, recent tensions between them and Top Rank, might affect making this fight.

It wouldn't surprise me if Schaefer decided to have Butler hold the belt hostage, and that's probably better for Butler because Inoue would probably give him a beating. When is Probellum's next card?

Butler is pretty sharp in the ring. Excellent powerful body puncher... quick, sharp strong punches upstairs.
He would have to be on his AA game vs Monster... and even then, doubt he'd last all 12.
But it would be a good payday for him, and it would likely be competitive for some rounds.

Good on him, dude has balls. I was thinking he would go into hiding after last nights's fight, but it sounds like the unification will happen. The only obstacle to Inoue becoming unified at 118 and 122 is people running away from facing him.

Not sure. I don't think they have any more announced at the moment.

[BigZ44]

Thought he fought McDonnell in the UK?

Nah, that was in Japan, but I did forget he fought Emmanuel Rodriguez in Glasgow during the WBSS as the co-main to Josh Taylor vs Baranchyk. So I'll correct my statement to say I'd like to see him get a fight in England against Butler

This just highlights the nonsense of the sanctioning bodies, Butler's not even top ten in the independent rankings. Why would this be a better fight for Inoue than fighting someone in the top 5? Answer, it's not, but fans are weirdly still in love with the shiny belts given out by corrupt sanctioning bodies. There is no dispute over who the World Bantamweight Champion is.
