    Was thinking about this match up before, if Satchell moved up to super flyweight would he be able to beat Butler and take his title?

    I don't think so personally.

    Could see it happening though in a year or so's time.

    Neither division is particularly stacked domestically.

    Butler IMO.

    Satchell looks good, big at the weight but i think Butler's got that touch of class and power which would see him take it.

    I personally think its an interesting fight, Satchell has beat very good fighters in his last 3 fights. Butler also has looked very impressive, I think it would go to points but am finding it difficult to pick.

    Really gd shout this both fighters seem to be rapidly improving with each fight. I think Kevin could do it hes big at the weight and might be more comfortable at superfly, and if he could apply the pressure in a similar way to the chris edwards fight I think hed have a gd chance.

    Satchells a good fighter but butler beats him maybe even stops him late! Paul is going to be very very good IMO

    Is he ****, most thought he lost to Sexton who is shite, fair enough Sexton had a big weight advantage and it played a part but if he was the class act you think he would have tore him apart.

    Very close fight to call, both have a fair bit of talent and will certainly campaign at Euro level.

    I'd go with Satchell at the minute, the kid is improving nicely and is on a bit of a roll.

    Did they? I remember most on here having Butler winning, and commending the judges for scoring it for Butlers better work?

    Good fight down the line but I think as Butler continues to improve it will take a special domestic fighter to beat him.

    I thought Butler beat Sexton, not by six rounds or anything daft but it was pretty clear to me who the better fighter was.

    Considering Sexton out-weighed him by a significant % it's a good win for the lad.

    It's a shame Sexton seems to have become a lazy bum, granted the KO of Uzzy flattered him a little but he should be doing better than what he has been.
