They were making him out to be a significant step up for a 10th opponent, and he was (even in light of the result). McDermott of course will be an even more significant step up as #11.
To be honest, I didn't know that Price was fighting Butler tonight. When I heard "a massive step up", I wondered who'd they dragged in for essentially a stay busy fight. Then they said "Raphael Butler" and I genuinely laughed out loud
Butler done that himself took a few jabs and shook his head at them trying to make a point that they weren't doing anything. Then Price followed it up with a great right hand. Done really well to get up though.
