What a great fight for Butlin he will get hammered i dont really rate Banks that highly & dont see why hes going up to HW as CW is wide open and he has a real chance to establish himself but Butlin will make lots of money and Banks will get beat at HW when he goes to a highter level imo

Holy fornicate.....Emanuel Steward trained both Hagler and Hearns...u learn something new everyday :)His opponent, Banks, is trained by the former trainer of champion boxers Lennox Lewis and Marvin Hagler, but Butlin will not be overawed.
Butlin gets his passport ready.

America's highly rated Jonathon Banks boxes on the undercard of Klitschko - Chagaev in Gelsenkirchen. His opponent will be ..................... Paul Butlin of Oakham, Leicestershire !!!.

This is the chief support for a 60,000 capacity crowd????? Poor effort.
I would have thought they could do better than that. Butlin has lost 7 out of his last 9 against very average competition and most of them were 3 or 4 rounders.
I will be cheering the guy on come fight night, but it aint upto much as chief support for a heavyweight world title fight in front of one of the largest crowds in European history.

It's obviously supposed to be an easy win for Johnathon Banks, and it probably will be, but best of luck to Butlin.

Banks is rejoining the cotton wool club after his Adamek challenge came to a brutal end in the eighth round (and his unbeaten record with it). Plus, he was down twice against Cuban Eliseo Castillo before rallying to win in the fourth round and barely outscored Italian Vincenzo Rossitto on a majority 12-round decision in Germany - the same Rossitto outclassed in two rounds by David Haye in 2005 in Huddersfield. They are the only 'names' on his 20-1 (14) record.
Banks can whack with the right hand and wears the Kronk colours but Hilmer Kenty came and went a long time ago.

What a story it would be if he wins doubt it will happen though 
D Banks will probably stop him early doubt Banks will go very far at HW

lol, it says a lot that this 'story' is pulled from a Rutland local paper.
Surely Banks can do better than this for a comeback fight?
