  • The light hitting Butler will be simply overwhelmed by the pound-for-pound best out there. All the belts and undisputed recognition in the division are more than enough motivation for the Monster.

  • Inoue crushes Butler.. just a matter of how quickly he gets to him.. inside 6 rounds. Fulton is gonna announce his move from 122 to 126 because he knows Inoue is moving up after he KOs Butler. Fulton is feather fisted and has no shot against the monster.

  • Full credit to Butler for saying he wanted the fight immediately when he became champion and taking it in Japan. I am sure he is being paid handsomely for it and he will give it his best shot. I would not surprised if Inoue wins this fight in the first 2-3 rounds.
    We’ve spent a long time calling for unifications and undisputed champions, now it seems like we get them every few months or so.

  • Damn, thats a suicide mission for butler! I hope he comes out alive on this one! Inaoue in 2 via brutal knock out of the century result!
