Iain Butcher vs Luke Wilton

[handsofstone]

On the undercard to Derry on Saturday, might be a lively tussle for the vacant British Flyweight title,both guys fought for this belt against Satchell ,Wilton was well beaten on points and Butcher lost a close decision which I had a draw

Luke was meant be fighting Satchell in a rematch in Kevin's last fight but it never happened for whatever reason but Butcher coming off a 6 round loss against Csaba Kovacs who was 5-4 so it really could go either way but Im backing Butcher to come in fully motivated and take it on points

[Stuarty]

Could be a decent little scrap. I haven't seen much of Wilton. Was surprised Butcher lost his last outing. I thought he was unlucky against Satchel and it could've went either way.

Here ma wee pal will wipe the floor with this pudendum bet ma hoos oan it

[daviddee]

Wilton is a decent wee fighter. Up until Butchers last loss I would of thought he would win easily on points.. I think it's a bit closer now. I'm hoping Ian does it. Be good for Scottish Boxing

Rumour on twitter fights off wilton picked up a injury

This is getting ridiculous.

[Stuarty]

Yip it's been confirmed. Wilton pulled out! Too late notice to secure a suitable opponent for the British. Bollux!

[broomy7s]

Sure this fight was scheduled for the Butler vs Tete undercard too. Surely the whole bill has to be cancelled now, was an awful undercard anyway this was the only decent fight.

[Horse]

Fighters who pull out should have to pay compensation to their opponent.

Maybe they'll be a bit more careful in training then.

It can happen to anyone Horse. The fighter who gets injured loses out as well remember.

This card is doomed, couple of 6 rounders, Joe Selkirk keep busy TBA, Liam against a Welter and Derry against a guy who didn't know he fighting a world eliminator until yesterday. Bite the bullet Frank, pull the card and make Derry v Abril or Perez in a couple months. Fans will thank you for it.

It's happening far too often.

How are they getting injured? They should be more careful.

This surely must break a record for number of pullouts. If Frank didn't have any bad luck with regards to this card, he'd have no luck at all.

[handsofstone]

Och this is pish,I was looking forward to this fight,its getting silly now with all these pull outs

I do think Derry's fight with Luis will be a barnstormer though,a risky one for Mathews coz Luis definitely comes to fight

I'm not wanting to start with the conspiracy theories but its a bit of a coincidence that all these call offs are occurring when George Groves has gone dark

I think the Dark Lord has taught his young protege too well

[eddiebutcher]

Luke Wilton is not injured he hasn't mentioned the fight in the last 6 weeks he hasn't tried to promote himself or the fight what' so ever he was always going to pull out he has pulled out twice now the fight should be given to some1 who wants the fight

If he doesn't want to fight for the British title then what does he want from his career?

He might as well retire.

[eddiebutcher]

There is other fighters in the division who want the fight if he doesn't want the fight he should let some1 else fight for it
Al he is doing is holding other fighters back and we know how that feels as satchell pulled out twice and now Wilton has twice a understand fighters get injured or better opertunities these things happen but in this case Wilton is not injured.

He should be suspended by the Board.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Had he signed a contract ?

[eddiebutcher]

We'll the board meeting was last week and they had announced the fight and Wilton himself pulled out so a would imagine if he pulled out the fight he would have had to sign the contract for it to be happening in the first place if he hadn't signed a contract the board shudnt announce it

[Stuarty]

We don't really have a lot of Flyweights here so looks like it will have to be an international opponent at such short notice. Feel sorry for the Butcher lad. I was looking forward to the fight.

[handsofstone]

I'm gutted for Iain, he's been in limbo since the Satchell fight where a lot of people had him winning,either way it was close and even though he's just lost to Kovacs I think he deserves his shot

Isn't Kal Yafai at Flyweight now?

[ShadrachSimmo]

No chance of getting Kovacs for a rematch? I see he's due to fight Ryan Farrag.

[steve689]

Come on Winky Wilton you can do it! Good luck lad.
