Two in a row for Hall on my card.

is hall making a fight of it, applying any pressure yet?

Three in a row for Hall.

Reminding me a bit of Cotto-Margarito I.

68-66 Butler

I dont think Butler is getting quite as bashed up as Cotto was though lol

heated up yet? we've had outstanding battles at bantam, McDonnell-hall, hall-malinga, McDonnell-ceja. does this have similar intensity?

He's... Being Stuey Hall. Incredibly slow start, heavy jab, massive physical presence but he's definitely been bothered by the cut & Butler's athleticism. Looks about two weight classes bigger. Hurt Butler more than he managed to do to Haskins imo. But a similar pattern to the fight, Hall just not quick enough.

He needs to push, & hard, if he's gonna come away with a win here.

PPS: Like he's doing now!

Lumbers around like lurch to be honest but definietly doing better in these later rounds.

Stuart Hall is really coming on strong in the last few rounds. The fight is probably even now.

78-75 Butler

No, but like that bout a small, faster, more skilled fighter dominated the early rounds with boxing, while the relatively slow and clumsy but stronger fighter is now imposing himself.

4 in a row for Hall

that's what I like to hear, lads. sounds like he needs to seriously slow his man down with body shots then set up the big hooks and crosses to head.

Yeah the way it's playing out is very similar.

is butler going to do anything about it - any signs?

Round 9 was close, I'd probably still favor Hall in that, but it was close.

5-4 Hall

87-85 Butler

Looks to be slowing down and he looks worried.

Hall is now the betting favourite.

Do you think Butler would stay at the weight even if he won?

hall doing any serious damage?

Butler's style looks like it will use up a lot of energy over the course of a fight.

Good 10th for Hall

96-95 Butler
