I interviewed WBO European Champ Iain Butcher ahead of his British title rematch with Kevin Satchell. http://adamhendersonjournalism.wordpres ... rld-title/

A lot of questions raised I think. Will Satchell take the fight and who would win? Can Butcher be a future world champion?

Wee legend

Cracking read mate.

Well done.

Glad to see there is a good chance of a rematch. Butcher was the clear winner of their first fight in my view.

I think Ian seems to be an improving fighter and may well learn a lot from the defeat and become better for it, although Kevin IMO won the first fight it would be good to watch again.
Good luck ian

I don't see how people think Satchell won the first fight.

Clear cut victory for Buthcher the first time round.

Don't think Satchell will take him so lightly next time around.

Three top judges seen it the same way as well mate so maybe you seen it wrong? just maybe!

I hope Ian gets his rematch time will tell

i didnt do an article on teh scoring but every writer i asked on twitter had Butcher winning. I had it 115-112 Butcher, 7-5 in rounds but with extra point for knockdown.

Cheers Gary.

Would be interested to hear why you thought Satchell won, Billy? Didn't watch the fight myself but not heard many people agree with the judges.

I spoke with Ian and said i thought he defo went to sleep in the middle rounds and i thought he lost by 3 rounds

I had it a draw,couldnt have argued either way

Cant wait to see it again

Im not sure TBH,i only knew from the OP,that it was on,id love to see a rematch,there isnt much going on in the Flyweight division so hopefully they can force it,im not sure how many more defences Satchell need for a Lonsdale?

He did say he was outworked by Satchell for some of the fight but he thought he got off the better shots. Can't do anything about the result now anyway so just hope he gets the job done in the rematch if it happens. It's not good to have 0 Scots with Lonsdale belts so hopefully him and a few other boys can pick some up in the near future!

You're right there Billy and he's certainly admitted to one or two mistakes but it was his first 12 round fight after all. He said he got his tactics a bit wrong so hopefully there's no problems for him in the rematch. He seems pretty confident about it anyway.

I'd not seen Iain box before the Satchell bout but I'd watch him again - what a good boxer, fit and strong and really turns up to win; hope he has a good run of results, he seemed a really good lad.

He should feel confident re-rematch, I wish him well

Good to see people's different points of view hopefully the rematch comes of will know by the 12th of march weather they fight or satchell vacates but first Iain has a 6 round fight next week to concentrate on :)
