Comeback Attempt After Detached Retina Fails

After a 26-0-1 start against lower level opposition, heavyweight Alonzo Butler incurred a detached retina in sparring which was surgically repaired. After 13 months inactivity, Butler failed in a comeback against Friday Ahunanya in a ten round Las Vegas bout on June 20, 2008, getting dropped in the fourth round and losing the decision. His previously injured left eye was swollen shut by the end of round five. Ahunanya had beaten opponents with a combined record of 46-0-1 in his last two bouts and had twenty bouts experience in Las Vegas to Butler's one.
