    after the fight at the weekend i think this would be a great fight for paul butler to get back into the ring, i wasnt impressed by jamie conlan and imo he would be kod with a brutal bodyshot!!

    Who you got?

    Barring size, Butler tops Jamie in practically every department. (And even Jamies huge size is probably working against him weight-management wise).

    So - regettably - I pick Butler.

    Butler.win imo. Although i do like conlon he was gifted on sat night he should of been waved off when he was getting paggered pn the ropes for 30 sec without throwing amything back. If hed of been seriously injured frpm amy of them last few blows mickey vann would of been facing a lawsuit.

    i think the lawsuit part is over dramatising things but he is correct about the amount of punishment jamie took for a sustained period!! but all respect is due to jamie because his conditioning must be first class to come back from that!

    The guy has a point and the second 8 count if you watched it was the slowest 8 count since tyson vs buster douglas

    Although Jamie wasn't fighting back, he did show a lot of head movement which probably saved him from Mickey Vann stepping in. They're also only Super Flyweights and should be giving every opportunity to fight on.

    I'd like to see Jamie have another fight before Paul Butler

    Butler wins and wins well, said he is desperate for the fight before Conlan gets beat by a unknown!!

    Correct. He was never a helpless target, he kept a high tight guard and was not staggering, was not slumped into the ropes, his hands werent down etc. He was clearly clear-headed and doing all the right things to ride out the storm. Vann did the right thing IMO letting the fight go on.

    Butler would win but could be a good match up while it lasts.

    Both overrated but would probably back Conlan on points.

    Yes he did keep a high gaurd although i wouldnt of called it tight. most of them punches werent blocked and not once in 30 sec did he throw anything back. Not one punch back. I wanted jamie to win of course i did but that fight should of been stopped. Mickey vann gave conlon a early xmas present there and if it would of been the other way round hed of waved that off within a third of the time.

    Conlan is an utter fraud.

    A no-hoper opponent level Mexican almost knocked him out clean during the fight, and he got a hometown decision from the corrupt British judge.

    Butler will knock Conlan out cleaner than Mr Muscle.
