    I am talking about Butler's lack of ranking etc.

    This wasn't an elite super fly looking to move up.

    Definitely an arguement for hall winning that, very close fight. 117-111 is an absolute joke.

    I know full well what you're talking about. I even alluded to whether he 'merited the shot or not' to apease you?

    Not sure why you bothered with the long rant if you knew what I was referring to?

    Going round in circles.

    It was a poor decision from the judges and a ****-poor decision from the IBF to let Butler devalue the title.

    I am crying out for TV channels to offer crowd only sound options.
    BoxNation's commentary was extremely biased towards Butler. I know it has no influence on the judges, but I'm sure plenty of viewers would be swayed.
    They didn't spot Hall's cut being caused by a head clash. For a good minute or two they were praising Butler over it. Then someone pointed out it was a head clash and they back tracked.
    It was only when Hall was piling on the pressure late on that they twigged the fight was perhaps a lot closer than they'd been suggesting.
    Watching it back, I had Hall winning 7 - 5 because he landed the more telling and accurate punches. He didn't look in trouble once in the whole fight, but he did himself no favours starting so slowly.

    It wasnt a poor decision from the judges at all. Could argue one had it wide but thats it.

    Then how did so many of us score it for hall? You were at the venue so many be you couldn't see that lots of butlers flurries were hitting gloves and arms.
