Paul Butler in Japan

He'll do well to make it out of the first round. Over in 3 maximum.

 

The quality of this forum is going down quicker than Katie Price’s knickers.

 

2 or 3 round job unfortunately but credit to Butler for taking the fight

 

Can't see it going more than 3 or 4 rounds. The gulf in class and ability is enormous its a huge ask

 

All the best to Butler. Hope he's getting paid well and leaves safe. Takes guts to get in the ring with that monster he's pure elite

 

I expect it'll be over within the first clean head shots landed by Inoue. Within 2 rounds for me.

If he's wearing winning gloves it might go a little longer.

If he does better then that, he's already well exceeded expectations.

 

This “fight” is not worth creating a thread for IMO.

Butler has zero to offer Inoue..nothing. Everybody including his Team know that. His only plan should be about how to get himself out of the ring, as quickly and safely as possible and collect his cheque.

 

I really hope Butler gets paid well otherwise it's foolhardy to take a fight where you're sure to lose.

 

The first clean one that lands and its over for butler,fair play to him for getting himself into this position although luck has played a huge part in that.

 

Has anybody been in camp with a fighter this far out of his depth? What's it like? Surley everybody including himself know he doesn't stand a chance.

 

If he survives past 3 rounds, he's done very well.

 

This is an interesting talking point - I'm sure years ago someone on another forum commented about meeting a drunk Billy Graham who told them Hatton had "no chance" Vs Floyd before they had fought.

 

I agree with the general conscientious, that he has no chance of winning. Butler style under JG is to pot shot from outside, with a high guard. That gives him a chance of getting through 3-4 round imo. If he gets to 2nd half of fight, he has done well. I hope we are all wrong and he wins, in what would be the biggest win by a British fighter ever imo.
