    Sensible move as he will be more effective at his natural weight

    Zolani Tete is fighting Teiru Kinoshita for the vacant IBF Super Fly title in Japan in a couple of weeks. Presumably FW will make it worthwhile for the winner to defend against Butler in the Echo Arena in October time

    Was a disgrace he ever got a world title fight at bantamweight.

    Not really was a disgrace that he could defend it against someone like martin ward who was nowhere near world level

    Seems a shame to me, especially when Hall was stitched up, deserved at least a draw.

    Best move for him. Caballero is a bad fight for McDonnell or Butler.

    Wonder what Eddie will do with Jamie now, will he be eligible for a vacant title shot?

    Paul Butler v Jamie Conlan! Get it sorted!
    Jamie has been waiting too long on a shot at the Lonsdale belt

    fights aren't won and lost on paper, actually watch Caballero and you'll see what I'm talking about.

    If Haskins gets the IBF strap in the next 12 months I'd say make that fight.
