[Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13

[Kemarit]

We've seen those talkers in Inoues past opponents but it turns out that ending up on being a disaster.I do agree that Butler shouldnt really be that talkative right now. 

That's okay, give that to him because that's his only chance that he can beat Inoue, but inside the ring, comes fight night, we will see how easy this is for Inoue, and I'm hoping that Butler would not be heavily hurt as the beast will be unleash and Inoue will always go for a KO.

Part of the game, trash talkers knows what they are about to enter specially against great boxers, we have seen it through boxing history. Nevertheless it could be part of their mentally, or try to get a edge over their opponent because there could be boxers who simply melt under pressure or they are distracted when someone talks bad about them or their families.

But in Inoue's case, if he can't spoke the language that much and even if there is an interpreter, the message might be delivered differently.

And besides, Inoue has the best record in this division so I don't know how Butler will talk trash against him.

Inoue does not need to respond on that trash talk, he already know what to do, the best revenge is to give Butler the best defeat that people will not forget, I'm talking of an slow beat down until he will get knockout in the 12 rounds, that's called punishment, the longer he will receive heavy punches, the more damage would happen to him.

That's probably what will happen during the fight. Inoue is not a good trash talker, he is known as a beast because he is furious in the ring. Butler would be lucky if he will past 6 rounds, that's the max round I see he will survive. Inoue came from a huge win against Donaire, that's "the flash", he is a good boxer but he demolished him in round 2.

Trashtalks are like a natural reaction for a fighter who acts tough but are really afraid of their opponent, as they are trying to get into their opponents head, hoping he'd get distracted and lost his concentration.
Some other trash talks are deliberate, to gain media attention and sell the fight, but in this case, I don't think it needs to sell as Inoue is now a rising boxing superstar that everyone loves to see.

That's not true, I know a good trash talker but a very good boxer. I'm sure you know Mayweather, he loves to trash-talk his opponent but he retires as an undefeated boxer. In the case of Butler, it's sure different because his record or achievement in boxing is not at par on Inoue's achievement, so he makes himself looks like a clown.

Yes agree with this It's all different against the trash talk of may weather and butler as we all know the pretty boy mayweather still undefeated even though he is now retired but in case of butler he is  look like a funny clown for sure in the end of this match it's look like a " trashtalk now funny clown later" because  we all know the capability of inoue in the ring he is a monster inside the ring that can knock his opponent out by a strong punch.

They are not afraid with their opponents but rather they are trying to distract their opponent and make them angry so that he can destroy the tactics what his opponent prepared for their matches. Also no boxers is afraid of anyone because this is their job for sure they love to face more stronger opponent since this could increase their value as a fighter.

Also trash talk is used for marketing because fans love to see both of the fighter heating up especially when they meet outside of the ring media attention is everything so that they can get huge revenue so expect that this is used by many for them especially the promoters to get good revenue on their matches.

Exactly, and fighters knows that this is just part of how they are going to market the fight. But perhaps there are boxers who go to the next level and destroy their opponents in trash talking, like below the hit, like involving your families, which for me doesn't merit a trash talk. If you are going to bad mouth a boxer, just the fighter himself, not his wife, his son or mother.

And then after the fight, they just respect each other and hug and try to apologize and the other side admitting his defeat.

[Baofeng]

Yes, we might consider trash talking as part of boxing already, we have heard Floyd do that talking because he can back up, but with the likes of lets say Broner, when he really didn't put any stop when he bad mouth Maidana and then totally lost the fight, Lol, that is the classic trash talking gone bad.

In any case for this fight, Butler need not to trash talk in my opinion. He just need to bring his A game and show respect, but it doesn't mean that he is afraid of Inoue. Just maybe to motivate himself in this fight.

Just bring everything and try to defend the title that he is holding right now, no need to do the trash as fans are aiming to see Inoue inside the ring, they expecting a lot from him and looking forward not to be disappointed.

Ticket sales can be carried by Inoue, no offense with Butler's fans, but the majority are looking forward
for Inoue to win these fights, upset will be a surprising outcome if things favored Butler's side.

That is reality, we are all know who is the most favorite in this fight no other than the monster inoue can make the crowd full of excitement and aiming a good fight and we know that this is a good fight but in this fight for me inoue will win. But he must not over confident that he will win because as we all know that butler do his best to win against inoue so, inoue must take it hard and not too easy.

Naoya Inoue always find a way to shut his opponents permanently after throwing some rubbish talks, and if Paul Butler here is indeed trying to talk his way to the spotlight, surely that won't help him. That shouldn't be his priority for now because he's going to be a living laughing stock as people definitely know the real score and that Butler's chance is very slim.

Mayweather is very confident in trash-talking because he is 100% sure he will win the fight .  He had it all sorted out before the bell rings so when the fight doesn't end in a KO, he is sure he will win via decision. All he needs to do is to survive the fight if he can't KO the opponent and its a sure win.

An upset is highly unlikely but unexpected things happen so we can't factor out the possibility of Butler winnings.  With all these certainties and the confidence of viewers and spectators that Inoue will win the fight, my otherside wanted to see a different result which is the not expected by the majority of the member here.  I wonder what would be our reactions if Inoue got KO'ed in the first round .

Not true at some point. It depends on who the boxer is involved.

We should know and be able to generalize boxers who just trash talk without a sense.

I did a quick search on Google search but found nothing related to trash talk on this fight. Whether from Butler or Inoue, I can't see news or article that they did some trash talk. What I see is the interview of Ring TV on Butler and I don't even consider that as trash talk.

Maybe I miss that trash talk? Can anyone lead me to a link about that?

True, if it involves Casimero for sure trash talking is every where. 

We should know and be able to generalize boxers who just trash talk without a sense.

Even without a sense, trash talking is one way of the boxers to promote their fight.  It is also made interesting if the trash talking one is getting KO'ed at the very first round.  Trash talking gives fans of the opponent to get mad or emotionally attached to the game.  That is why when trash talking failed, lots of viewers and fans rejoices and the fulfillment watching their favorite boxer beat the trash talking opponent goes up to next level.

No, I think that both camp is quiet.  I also search for any trashtalk done by either camp and I have seen nothing.

A totally embarrassing moment if you do trashtalk hard and ends up on being a clown later on when your opponent had beaten up you hard.It would really be that laughable and boxing fans
would definitely be that having those common sayings that trashtalks is never been good.

There are really just people who do make up some talks whether its scripted or intended or really that natural on them.For mayweather then you can hate him with those
shit talks but he could really be able to justify out and you cant really be able to hate him much because he's still undefeated.

Mayweather is just different, or should I say an exemption because he is very good as a boxer?  He retires once, comeback and finally retired as undefeated. And now, he is still making huge money with his exhibition fights, I would say that he is really good at marketing, he understands well that boxing is just business, so he played his game well.

[lionheart78]

As I expected, Paul Butler will be using Donaire's strategy during Donaire's first match against Inoue.  I watched from one of the YT channels I am following that Butler is taking the example of the Donaire vs Inoue fight on how to beat Inoue.  Butler said that Inoue's most dificult fight is during Inoue's 1st match against Donaire so Butler said that he will do the same strategy in order to make the fight difficult for Inoue and if possible to win the fight.  The video stated that Butler say that if he survived the fight he might possibly win via decision following Donaire's strategy (1st match against Inoue)  The video also stated that Butler will try to test the waters ( Inoue's punch) during the early round and see if he can absorb it without any problem.

I just hope Butler will not get KO'ed when he tests Inoue's strength in the early round.  Though this revelation of  Butler mimicking Donaire's strategy is interesting.

Yes, he is a great boxer and a great promoter. He started with a promoter, later on in his career, he left his promoter to start his own, and now he is already promoting fights with his Mayweather promotion company. That's the best vision a boxer should see for their future, even after boxing, they still have someone that would give them money, I think Manny Pacquiao could do that with his millions of dollars accumulated in boxing.

So the other betting option are comes up.



I'm surprised with the winning method odds for Inoue via KO since it's really small, there's no way anyone want to bet that. The winner & round range seems to be more interesting, based on the odds many people expect Inoue will beat Butler in the early round since the odds is only 1.48x. It's worth if you want to bet with huge amount, but I will take a risk to bet Inoue & 4-6 because I think Butler will have a preparation to survive against Inoue, although it won't last long.
