    You can’t miss the weight by 3lb and then say your staying at bantamweight this was your chance to be 2 times world champion it’s so unprofessional of you and Gallagher if you don’t win tomorrow Hearn will ffucck you off big time

    'A couple of reasons'

    Just a joke to be that far out.

    Being that amount over weight when fighting at 8st 6ib is shocking.

    I agree it looks awful. But:

    Maybe Paul has valid reasons for this happening. He's never struck me as lazy or sloppy etc etc. Naturally he can't divulge the reasons NOW...because it would confer a huge advantage on rodders. Paul can't say " I couldn't lose the weight cos I've injured my right leg" for example ...if he does the opponent can work it to his advantage in the fight.

    Let's wait and see if a valid reason exists before we are too harsh here.

    Good point. I think he should be pulled from the card tbh.

    It's a tough one moog. Was there any inkling of this problem in the training camp? Was there a week-before weigh in? It's lousy for fans that bought tix weeks ago "under false pretences" that they were going to see a proper world title fight....

    Could it have been pulled and rescheduled....then what about Rodriguez? No easy answers....

    I just can't see butler being this lazy, sloppy and unprofessional. My guess is he does have reasons that he can't divulge at this time....

    Fighters keep getting away with it recently. Many are just missing weight and fighting anyway. There needs to be a few pulled so that others get a kick up their arse.

    Gallagher is an arrogant knob he thinks he’s the business but he doesn’t look after his business!! How would he not know that was gonna happen! Deserves his criticism
