lol! i think that butterbean fight is a MMA fight & it's in showgirls strip club in fort mcmurray,alberta...they are having a low budget MMA event there from one of the many second tier MMA fight clubs & butterbean is headlining..

Good to see Brian Minto back in action. Minto always had a lot heart but he's an undersized hw in a division where size, to some degree, counts, so he didn't really get far....

Butterbean is a unique boxer.

He has the arm length of a featherweight, yet he weighs more than nearly any other HW.

And he's age 45 yet still boxing.

Still can't believe the JC Gomez upset. Dude shouldn't have pulled out of the prizefighter, it was his last chance at a decent check

I want to see Liakhovich back! Get him in there with Dimitrenko, Chagaev, Tua, Barrett.... someone else decent. He earned it after the battle with Helenius.

Lyakhovich-Barrett would be a good matchup.

Kathy Duva said she's going to keep Lyakhovich active, so he'll be back before too long.
