Bout Summary
Butler was taken the ten round distance and beaten for the first time by Ahunanya, who consistently outjabbed Butler and beat him to the punch. The first three rounds were competitive. Ahunanya decked Butler in the fourth round, and by the end of round five, had completely closed Butler's right eye. The referee took a good look at Butler's swollen left eye in the seventh round, and gave Butler another chance, and Butler did his best to counter Ahunanya from that point on and survive to the final bell. Butler gave a very good accounting of himself, but Ahunanya went to work with right hand leads on Butler's known bad eye from the opening bell, knowing he would win if he succeeded, and win he did.
