    I know and I bet they would make weight if they got pulled from fight lol it would never happen because hearn is just as greedy and needs fights on the card it's a joke lol

    Butler showed real steel staying the 12 against a really tip top level operator.
    Even more so if Butler had bad prep for the fight for reasons unknown. We should find out shortly.

    Butler still not being specific about what went wrong with the weight..i dunno i get an inkling of some problems in his build up...anybody else think he might be covering for somebody out of loyalty....?????

    I'm disappointed, I thought for sure Rodriguez would have gotten Butler out of there, he almost did in the first, so if anything this was a letdown for me.

    Yeah len spot on where was the smooth movement he had with farnell he was to stiff with his upper movement way to easy to hit I said Gallagher was all wrong for Paul when he fist went with Gallagher

    I can see Rodriguez going on to be a multi-weight titlist. But there was somrthing missing from Butler. He wasnt 100% at all in there.

    If something was wrong tonight Gallagher should of pulled Paul out that’s what a good coach would have done not to mention Paul health

    Rodriguez was absolute class, but on the other hand Butler was terrible, very little head movement, he was so easy to hit, and maybe flattered Rodriguez a little (although I do think he is class)
