    Glad it's been signed. I just wish I didn't have to wait another 3 months for it to happen. I really wish Inoue was more active, especially since his last fight only lasted 2 rounds and this one probably won't last much longer if not end even earlier.

    Anything other than impressive KO in the first 5 rounds, would be considered a bad performance.

    And still in Japan. Road warriors have more value.

    That's an insane standard. Butler is a two time champion known for movement, in his prime. I predict KO 6.

    Also Inoue has had many title matches outside of Japan. And he has 100% KOs outside of Japan

    Not really. IF you consider Inoue top 3 P4P, and consider his last 3 performances, why would you say anything else ? I don't rate Butler at all.

    He's a multiple time champion who just beat a prime conqueror of a multidivision champion. You don't rate Butler because you don't watch the division

    I don't rate Butler that highly either but his style where he moves rather than walk right at Inoue like Donaire means it's unlikely that Inoue gets an early KO.

    I'm expecting a fight similar to the Maloney fight. Inoue will take some time to catch up with Butler but when he does then it will quickly be over.

    What if it goes to distance ? Than how do you rate his performance ?

    It won't go the distance, so it's a question which requires no answer...
