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

[Dave1]

A mismatch? An easy win for Inoue? Not even a big challenge for Inoue? Can't blame some people's view about the match as the distance between Naoya Inoue and Paul Butler is really that wide and long gap. I can't even think of a way how Butler can survive the wrath of Inoue.

Agreed. The odds for this fight might be 1.05 for Naoya Inoue and 8.50 to 9.00 for Paul Butler. The ending will also certainly be another knockout for Inoue. Where the oddsmakers might place the over or the under might be on 7.5 rounds and they might favor the under, I reckon. However, Paul Butler was knocked out only once and it was 7 years ago. I speculate that Inoue will knock Butler on the 10th or 11th round.

This was my original predction and I also saw @bisdak40's advice on over 2.5 rounds, however, I forgot to watch the fight or make my bets. I knew the fight was on December 13 but it was very strange because I thought it would be on Friday hehe. I am presently watching the replay. Inoue looks very much like the featherweight Manny Pacman inside the ring.

Some of us really missed the fight because of our timezone. Nevertheless we have seen highlights of the fight and yeah Inoue looks bigin their with Butler.

Good prediction, unfortunately you didn't make the bet. But still good though, there are tons of boxing match in the future, but this time bet early, 

[Jawhead999]

Well Butler already did a great job for surviving almost 12 rounds, not many boxers can take all of Inoue's punches. Although in the scorecard Butler never win in any round, but at least he's really prepare very well to fight against Inoue. Congratulations for Inoue to become undisputed champion on Bantamweight, I think no one in this weight dare to take a challenge against Inoue lol. Inoue will move to super bantamweight and it increase the possibility if he will fight against Casimero.

Yes, but it's not enough to just circle around and not throw any punches in there. That's why Donaire is different as he change his strategy and did try to fight Inoue toe to toe. But both have the same results, Inoue knock them out.

Yeah and no need for him to stay in this division, he should move to super bantamweight and maybe he will see him and Casimero in the future as it it also one of the most anticipated fight for 122 lbs.

If that was only his intention to survive, then  he should not fight as it will only hurt himself without a chance of winning. Inoue was a bit frustrated but his power was very evident, good thing he caught Butler in 11 rounds and knock him out. A well deserved win, no reason to stay at the current division, time for him to move up and challenge champs at weight class.

The recent fight event between Inoue VS Butler was very one-sided and we all knew the power and speed Inoue and he has shown what he truly is, he is a real Monster,

Naoya Inoue VS Paul Butler ROUND 11 KO/TKO - WIN

Pretty much I see a very 1 sided match it is clear that Naoya Inoue out Speed and out powered Paul Butler in all rounds and crushing him in anyway possible and we can see that Inoue also showboating his way to get a clear shot on butler and to have a more entertaining fight,

Andy Hiraoka VS Min Ho Jung ROUND 8 KO/TKO - WIN

Another KO win from a Japanese and this time a Korean was his opponent, pretty much this is another one-sided match because it only lasted 8 rounds, I haven't seen the fight yet, so will review it later,

Yoshiki Takei VS Bruno Tarimo ROUND 11 KO/TKO - LOST

Another japanese win and with a KO/TKO win again, and with this one my bet is started on losing,

Peter McGrail VS Hironori Miyake ROUND 2 KO/TKO  - LOST

This one is is the 2nd Japanese boxer that I have put my bet on including Inoue, and the only Japanese boxer that have lost for this event,

Takuma Inoue VS Jake Bornea ROUND 8 KO/TKO - LOST

The Brother of Naoya Inoue is really something and winning against Jake Bornea in the 8th round, pretty much I have lost my bet and both Filipino have lost to the Japanese but it is alright,

Satoshi Shimizu VS Landy Cris Leon ROUND 2 KO/TKO - LOST

This fight is a title match but Landy can not handle Satoshi Shimuzu's punching power well I have bet for the Filipino as support but yeah I surely even though I have lost this it is just a small amount,

He make Butler look like a kid and he just teas him on that match. Maybe the one came on Butler's mind is to survive until round 12 but he got enough already and got knock out on 11 round.

Many fans call out that he's undisputed title is not 100% yet because he didn't defeat Casimero yet. But I doubt he will get a nerve to fight Casimero because he got a title already and he cannot get anything if he fight Casimero.

Imagine if Casimero wasn't disqualified, I think we will see a better undisputed fight if Inoue will agree on the fight. Both Inoue and Casimero has extraordinary power, it's just that Inoue has an advantage due to his good defense and quick movement, but I'm pretty sure Casimero would be willing to go all-out war with Inoue.

Yeah, it will be better if it will be Butler vs Casimero first, there have been trash talked before their supposedly fight and for sure this is going to be very exciting as well.

We still have another chance for both Inoue and Casimero to fight, it will be in the 122 lbs as Inoue hinted that this could be his last fight at 118 lbs and will be moving to 122 lbs. And we have seen Casimero against Akaho although we are all disappointed with the results.

So let's see if their promoters are willing to set them up in super bantamweight next year and for sure there will be a lot of hype.

A quality fight which we might see more on toe-to-toe fight and the engagement or exchanges of punches will be more solid. Both are KO orchestrators and both are very aggressive.

Though it can't happen anymore since Casemiro is already on 122lbs unless Inoue will follow him and ask for negotiation
so fight can take place between them.

Or, Casimero needs to establish his name and create a noise to challenge the belt holder and if he wins, he will wait for
Inoue to jump up and challenge him.

I almost slept the whole fight. Butler can't throw any punches at all. He is just running and defending.
On the other hand, Inoue got bored to the point where he is putting his hands behind him and raising both of his hands and smiling. I mean it's a fight for the Undisputed Bantamweight title and yet, that's how he is doing. That just shows that the match is very one-sided.

It's too boring that I nearly ended watching the livestream because I knew already who the winner will be until that knockout by Inoue on the 11th round. Casimero Vs. Inoue? Many are asking it but let's wait and I think it will happen.

Casimero got sabotage and he's career was ruined by those people who doesn't want him to go up. And if Casimero didn't got disqualified maybe we can see different angle of Inoue's career. But it seems that we cannot see this fight to happen and for sure Inoue will go up to chase more titles. He doesn't earned anything on Casimero so I guess he's management will not let this fight to happen.

This is would be the mindset of the inoue's team they will not aiming for casimero vs inoue's fight as we all know that inoue is undisputed champion in his division and their next target is to go up and find more titles. And in terms of casimero maybe this fight will happen but not in a short period of time from now maybe in the next 3-5 years this will happen as we all know that casimero must build his reputation and build up his career.

[freedomgo]

Butler almost managed to last all 12 rounds, it deserves respect. But  in the 11th round, Inouye managed to knock out Butler and referee stopped the fight. In general, the fight is not bad, in the second half of the fight Butler managed to level the fight a little, but still Inoue's advantage was expectedly very significant. Congratulations to Inouye with the absolute championship, now all 4 belts belong to him!

Even if there’s no knock out, its clear that Inoue dominates most of the round and maybe in Round 11, Butler can’t hold it anymore and fall in the ground to lose the fight. Inoue proves to be more dominant here and having that 4 belt on different division is quiet a great achievement, many boxer will surely aim for this guy and its hard to say who will be the one to defeat Inoue, congrats as well to those who placed their bets and make the profit.

I don't think Butler even won a single round and to think that Butler is holding the other belt, things could have been different if he is facing Casimero, Butler did not come to fight he come to survive the power of Inoue but he failed to last the 12 rounds, I hope in his next campaign in the upper division he will face a real challenger like Casimero because I read that Casimero is also moving in that division and hopefully Navarette a very dominant featherweight.

If Butler's match-up against Casimero pushed through, for sure the situation would've been a lot better rather than watching a fight for survival. But my take is Casimero would still leave the division unfinished because it was really evident that his weight won't sit at 118 lbs., so he will still vacate the belt eventually.

Anyway, Casimero already made his move and have just got his first fight at 122 lbs. but he met an unprofessional boxer who is not man enough to stand the fact that he will be defeated. Now, it was rumored that Inoue will also climb the next weight class and will be looking forward in facing the champions, hopefully that will happen, and maybe Inoue and Casimero's path will cross this time.

A well deserved win, no reason to stay at the current division, time for him to move up and challenge champs at weight class.

Couldn't argue with you about that because it was indeed Butler's only intention because he already knew that he cannot alter the fate into his favor and defeat Naoya Inoue. Sad to say but Butler only participated the fight to collect another good payday in his career, no other reasons apart from that fact. Nevertheless, I already anticipated this scenario because I already knew that Butler won't really face Inoue and give a toe-to-toe fight just like what Donaire did because he doesn't have the skillset for it.

Looking forward to see Inoue taking his skills in super-bantamweight where there will be many foes that will give him a good fight. And I agree with your sentiment, no reasons for him to stay at bantamweight because he already finished the whole chapter. He can always come back and defend his belt if there will be a mandatory fight.

It was really a superb win for Naoya Inoue and looking at the scorecards all rounds were for Naoya Inoue, if we look at the fight stats all total punches, total jabs, and power punches were all for Naoya Inoue, we can all see how Naoya Inoue dominated the fight for me it was really a one-sided fight, Inoue in terms of speed and power all have the advantage in holding into that win, and Naoya Inoue is just getting stronger and stronger and I can say that because of his fight with Nonito Donaire, at 1st it was really a close fight and both fighters were hanging from a thread but it was all win for Inoue, now on their 2nd games we can see how dominating and the speed has changed with Inoue's rhythm it was very different you can see now that Inoue had the speed,


Now that Naoya Inoue is changing and upgrading from Bantamweight now into the SuperBantamweight, and if he is up to the challenge he might get it

Right, it was a complete shut out and domination by Inoue from round 1 till the knock out. Butler main goal is to survived by clearly he was badly damage specially in the body wherein Inoue make it a target.

It's really the power of Inoue and the way he throw it, the timing is perfect and he throw everything with bad intention.

Yes, he is upgrading to super bantam and maybe in the next year we will see him raising another belt.

I initially thought that Butler will likely go toe to toe and test himself, but they put a conservative strategy, to run and avoid Inoue's power punches. But Inoue are intelligent, if he see his opponent keeps on running then he goes to the body shot, more devastating effect later and that is what we see on Butler as he doesn't have the gas to keep himself from running. And when Inoue feels that he can take him out then he cornered him and put that killer blows and the referee did a good job stopping it without counting the full 10 round count on Butler because obviously Paul is wincing in pain in the canvass.

I also did, that's why I was upset to see that he didn't faced and tried to fight Inoue head-on with even just one round to at least satisfy the crowd and audience especially the ones who came and watched to support him in his fight despite the fact that he's already losing the fight even before it started. But no, Paul Butler chose an embarrassment and waited until his body gave him up because of that powerful body punch that he was receiving since the 1st round.

Total disappointment for those who bet on butler yet the only thing that he had done is to avoid total engagement whenever Inoue tries to box out and just having that upperhand kind of defense.
Well, yes its really just that wise but its something not really good to look at that there are really times which he could really make out some counterattack at least which it really ends up on
having a boring fight for Butler yet all the thing he do is to avoid and evade.You could almost count off on how many punches were thrown.Inoue did find a way on cracking up
that turtle defense made on 11th round which his body cant really take anymore with those bombard of power punches.

[lionheart78]

Butler almost survives the fight and be listed as few fighters to end the fight with Inoue in a decision but sadly the punch to the body ends the fight.  The signature punch of Inoue in stopping most of his opponents.  As expected Inoue will stop Butler but it was a great job for Butler to last until 11th round considering most of us are expecting the match to be a short one.

Now that Inoue had united the belt, I believe it is time for him to go up in weight division as planned.  I hope we will see Inoue-Casimero soon when Inoue officially moves up to 122 lbs.
