    Purse bids to go out for Jamie Conlan v Paul Butler in a final eliminator before facing WBO Super Flyweight champion Omar Narvaez according to today's Irish News.

    How do we think this one will pan out? Would make a great fight on a Frampton undercard if Cyclone Promotions can win the purse bid!

    Butler beats colon IMO I think colon is too easy to hit for the very top level

    Deffo not a good opponent for Conlon. Butler is levels above, I can't see this going well for Conlon at all.....

    Can't look past Butler in this. He's just looked so much better

    Too soon for Conlan imo, his last fight was a great learning fight for him but he'd another 1 or 2 of them before being ready for a fight like this.

    Unfortunately fighters pulling out and bad luck has resulted in his career being stalled at various points and him not fighting as often as he could of and not fighting as high a level as he could have.
    With more experience Conlan may be able to trouble Butler, but if they meet soon (which they likely will) it's very hard to see past Butler and possibly inside the distance.
