Butcher V Satchell

not 1 person on twitter or tv had satchell winning.....116-112 butcher

 

Watched it. Had Butcher by 3 rounds.

Shocking scorecards. Bunce, Lillis and Smith on Boxnation all had it for Butcher.

Satchell interviewed at the end of the fight conceded that he was very lucky to get the decision.

 

Butcher looks like he could be very very good. Looked completely comfortable.

 

How could you give Satchell that fight,the young lad was coming forward,goods shots had him going in second..I am pleased I know nothing!

 

Classic case of the hometown fighter getting by on workrate. Satchell showed a lot of heart and brought a very high workrate to the table but it was a lot of arm punches that Butcher was taking on the gloves, while the clean, effective work was consistently being done by Butcher. I had Butcher by three rounds, and there's not really a definitive round you can even give to Satchell in there.

 

only guy who i have saw score for Satchell is Matt Christie from Boxing news, he tweeted me saying that there was more around ringside who thought Satchell won, even Scottish guys.

i will ask him tomorrow if he can name them and i will collect scores for this this one are Gary Shaw from Merseyboxing is questioning why so mant scored for Butcher???

 

Thought the decision was a joke, I am biased as I train in the same gym as Butcher but he landed all the cleaner stuff and hard to see what rounds Satchel, clearly won.

 

was ther tonight butcher didnt look as if he was throwing much satchell won in my eyes i was 6 rows back from ring an was clear satchell won

 

Thought Butcher won 115-112, landed the cleaner more effective shots throughout and blocked the vast majority of Satchell's work. Satchell got by on mainly workrate, although it must be said he did land some good left hooks to the body.

I did think in the 2nd round (post knockdown) that Butcher is letting him off the hook here and could live to regret not trying harder to finish him. He seemed happy enough with just the 10-8 round, but in hindsight should have gone for the finish !

 

I thought the decision was spot on. Boxnation commentary was a little biased towards butcher, who landed some eye catching shots but was being outworked for the majority of the rounds.
Great win for satchell proving he can come back when hurt and box a disciplined fight, great exciting champion.

 

Thought Butcher won by a couple of rounds.

Satchell showed some real heart after being in big trouble in the 2nd don't think anyone would not like to see a rematch.

 

Thought it was a very close fight, Satchell did give the impression of outworking Iain in the rounds, Iain may have taken a lot on arms and elbows but it appeared that some were getting through.

I had the fight a draw, I would imagine Satch may give up the commonwealth and Butcher can fight and take that title, Satchell then moves up and Butcher will take over the division, both looked decent last night a really good fight.

Commentary for me was certainly and strangely biased.
