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.
