I really hope Inoue checks this box of becoming undisputed at 118 lbs., then promptly moves up in weight. There’s just nobody at bantamweight whom I care about seeing him fight. I genuinely think he might be No. 1 P4P, but as long as he’s at 118 lbs., that can only be based on the eye test.

Butler's loses to Tete and Manny Rodriguez suggest he's going to struggle against Inoue.

In fact we should probably have a sweepstake on how many seconds (of round 1) that Butler lasts.

As if Inoue is in the same form as the Donaire rematch I don't think it's possible for Butler to get out of the first round.

However I give Paul a lot of credit for taking the undisputed fight, he could have turned it down for easier defences of the WBO title in the hope that Inoue would have to move up to 122lbs, but he accepted the fight straight away. He clearly prefers a quick execution to lingering about on death row.

Inoue is one of those fighters that I enjoy watching fight, do I think he will win this fight Yes I do. But I did not think that during the WBSS that Donaire would give him any trouble but he did. I was wrong I hope I am wrong and Butler gives him some troubles for his time. I can hope for a fight. Most high level fights have a chance of a fight breaking out in the ring. making it competitive while watching it live. And if not I beleive that both will come in in shape and ready to fight but when the bell rings is when it gets interesting. No matter Inoue will move up in weight, and that may help Butler to some degree as 118 is not where Inoue wants to be any longer which should be good for the sport of boxing, him moving up will be nice but then he may go the route of PPV after his first challenge unless he decides to take a real name on in his first 122 bout --in any case that is not till after we determine a winner in December...
