    Anyone who thought Satchell won that fight is crazy.. Scoring is subjective and yes work rate is good but you need to connect with punches.. Butcher covered up took most of Satchells punches on the gloves and countered well almost all the eye catching punches came from Butcher and he was on the front foot throughout..I think that was Butchers big chance and he was robbed. Wasn't that close a fight and was definitely on one winner.. As for box nation commentators they were trying there best to give rounds to Satchell at one stage Smith changed his mind to try and make it closer... Judges and referees should score a fight how they see it and not biased for a home fighter.. It happens too much in the sport and it needs stamped out.. And for the record I though Butcher would of been beaten very easily... Was expecting a stoppage so the boy proved me wrong and deserves to be British and Commonwealth title.. I just hope he steps on from here is a young guy proven now he is domestic level.. Train harder than before and use this as motivation to get that title and more..

    Satchell won the fight by 2 rounds I thought,Iain boxed well in his first championship fight and I beleive he will progress further in time than Satchell

    Think your in the minority on this one Billy.. Watched it again this morning can't score punches to Satchell where Ian is taking them on the gloves.. Was countering well throughout the fight.. But in honesty he should of finished the fight in the 2nd round Satchell was gone a bit more experience and he would of got him out of there.. Satchell busier 2nd half of the fight not much Quality in the shots apart from a handful.. Butcher classier shots throughout a lot of hurtful punches got less busy as the fight went on.

    Well I may be in the minority but the three judges agree with me, unlike the Rees v Crolla judges lol

    Satchell will want to keep the belt before he moves up.
