Naoya Inoue vs. Paul Butler | Undisputed - 13 December 2022

[pinklady]

I know Butler is getting done early but I hope he at least tries.

He might get past a couple of rounds if he's on his bike without throwing anything,although i can see something similar to Barrera v Paul Lloyd

Has U.K. tv been sorted for this?

Why is this ppv in aus?

[MightyWarrior]

Damn I was scheduling my day so could watch it at midday, now I’m seeing first bell 11am..

[samwbr]

Any coverage for this?

[gregregegg]

I cant belive theres an undisputed fight where the favorite is paying 1.01.... its less than evens for inoue to knock him in the first 2 rounds and thats taking into acount might actualy kinda want some rounds considering he has boxed for less than 5 mins in the last 364 days....

This is kinda horrific this mismatch, hope butler is getting paid top coin. and i hope when he goes down he stays down, no point getting up and copping it 2 or 3 times for the same outcome.

Maybe because it’s a good time zone?

Aus put anything on PPV tbh

I hope he fights with the Bravery of the knight in Monty Python !
I've got a lot riding on Butler being respectable and lasting a bit.
I mean, The Monster is as close to a certainty as you get in sports, but this IS a unification - don't see why we get such enormous odds for The Baby Faced Assassin to last a few rounds.
A Clev vs Kov performance (and ref!) would do..

The card would have started at 10am

[skanksta]

We are in GMT now of course

So that means it starts... nearly 2 hrs ?!
And we got nothing till then ?

[gregregegg]

That cant be right... not going to have a 2 hour gap between fights.

Anyone actualy watching wanna clarify this.....

[garethhop]

They are coming out in a few minutes.

[skanksta]

They certainly are...!

Butler walking out to Eye of the Tiger.
Unoriginal but still great.

[gregregegg]
