:twisted::twisted: Why'd you have to remind us of this scumbag? Thankfully, he's still rotting in prison for killing Max's bro. What a vile human being. :twisted: He does this like 2 weeks after 9/11 too. :tired
Well in Canada they celebrate 4th of July on July 1st, so you can't really blame him for not knowing times, dates and lengths between them...!!!
Lowest of the low Butler is scum of the earth BUT Apart from his gloves having been removed was there really anything much different in Butlers cowardly attack than in Mayweathers attack on a totally defenceless Victor Ortiz ??? In fact Mayweather threw a combination & Butler one punch. Oh & please don't come the excuse Ref Joe Cortez told Mayweather "Box on" because he didn't he was looking away. Both Butler & Mayweather acted like scum
