Headlining the next EOTM card in Montreal on March 7th. 10 rounds @ middleweight. No title, but the stakes are right to be Canada's contender at 160lb going forward. The loser will be seriously set back, having lost two in their last three. Glass cannon Butler, eleven years the younger man in this contest - was at one time a hot Canadian prospect until losing his zero to fellow unbeaten Brandon Cook, has now been stopped four times in all. Rolls, meanwhile, is best known as the man plucked from obscurity for Golovkin's tuneup after Canelo II - and, lo, and behold was squashed in 4 rounds (he has since gone the distance in losses to Edgar Berlanga and Austin Williams).
I scored the Berlanga and Ammo WIlliams losses, in Rolls favor. If he brings that same level of countering and sits down on some well timed shots, I see no reason why Rolls can't get the stoppage here. Just to prove I'm not full of it. https://eyeonthering.com/boxing/edgar-berlanga-vs-steve-rolls https://www.eyeonthering.com/boxing/austin-williams-vs-steve-rolls
I used to follow Ammo on the way up and did not realize he had stepped up to that level of opp yet. I know you thought he lost but how did you rate his performance and ability to this point?
