Looks like a comfortable win for Ormond on the ref's card but that was a difficult night's work.

Motherwell Flyweight Iain Butcher looks a decent prospect, it was a reasonably exciting fight.

I thought he was robbed against Satchell a few years back. Lillis mentioned Butcher v Jamie Conlon as they're both MGM. Quite like the idea of that.

Butcher was hosed against Satchell IMO. Satchell got way too much credit for his ineffectual pitter-pat punching.

Yeah Butcher showed glimpses of class tonight,he gassed a bit though and switches off defensively at times
Dire card though every fights been pretty poor and Butler looking too tentative as well

Interesting fight for Paul Butler. Alexander Cazares only has a 13-7 record but he's giving Butler problems so far.

Butler has been dire for years, think he's lucky he hasn't been in there with anyone of note other than Hall and Tete. Was thinking I couldn't work out why they keep tossing him in with this type of opponent but the performances are why, aren't they

Butler much better when fighting aggressively, he needs to get in close and bang away to Cazares body

A decent round for Butler. Alexander Cazares typical tough Mexican and awkward.
Gotta give it to BocksN. They keep the bouts coming. Puts Channel 5 and Dave to shame.

Catterall is a good fighter but he has been in a couple of stinkers,I just hope tonight is not another one but there's something in the air tonight which tells me its "awa to be shite"

RE Catterall - I have a feeling an upset is around the corner for him, might not be tonight but it'll be soon

Butler looked pedestrian against a tough fighter who I reckon he would've bulldozed before he became world champ

It wasn't a thrill a minute but not every fight can be, I could happily have skipped a round or two, but it was competitive, as competitive as someone with the skill level of Alexander Cazares could make it. Decent workout for Butler.
For anyone using a stream make sure you have adblock. Those adverts! You try to get rid of them and they just leade to more pages of adverts.

Exactly, yet according to the wisdom of John Rawling the 'wider audience' ie boxing fans underappreciate him. Perhaps like Rawling what we need is to be regularly employed by Butler's employers to fully appreciate him #sychophanticcheerleaderscourgeofboxing
