Jamie McDonnell v Paul Butler?

Post by Autobarn »

Is it true Butler is going back up to bantamweight and aims to challenge Jamie McDonnell?

How's Butler looked since the defeat to Tete? He had looked really impressive in that terrific fight with Hall.

What's happening with McDonnell? One of my favourite fighters. Don't like it when things go quiet on his side.

I've never been overly impressed with Butler. He's pretty overrated on BNation I reckon. McDonnell would be too big for him and box his head off.

I honestly don't think Butler is anywhere near McDonnells level and would be soundly out boxed for the duration of the fight

I didn't think that Butler looked particularly impressive against Hall.

I'd prefer it if McDonnell didn't waste his time with Butler.

He is mandatory for Raushee Warren which should be his next fight. Good fight really hope the winner of that fights the Yamanaka Moreno 2 winner.

No way Butler will fight McDonnell next.

Also Butler has is now being trained by Joe Gallagher. Very interesting how that works out I didn't mind Butler but I wouldn't give him a chance against any of the current Bantamweight champions.

Shame he never fought Yafai at Super Fly.

Oh so they're sorting the WBA title out.

Paul Butler hasn't been especially impressive these last few years, and more importantly hasn't won at the level or shown the skill that McDonnell has. If this fight happens McDonnell is gonna win either a lopsided decision or possibly a late TKO.
