I came out completely blank.
I didn’t see the punch coming.
Dinar lost his wbc bannonwick title in the defeat and says he’s deviated too far away from the game plan that had in part been hatched by sugar hill stewart.
The filipino hero had planned to use the jab, use the faints, but ended up being dragged into a scrap and says he paid a heavy price.
We came here with a good game plan and i was in tremendous shape.
I’Ve never been in that shape.
In my life, but in trying to implement the game plan, i got caught up in wanting to brawl and that’s my big flaw.
I love brawling it’s hard for me to change that overnight, but it was a big mistake.
I came in really confident, but unfortunately i got caught cold with a big punch, fair enough.

Congratulations to split tea for their fighter’s success there now speaking of success, paul butler does not fear the power of boxing’s, most fearsome puncher naoh has laughed off.
Talk of him having a death wish.
You know he served at the brutal two-round beatdown of the nito de niro, which i’ve just described on uh tuesday, that’s june, 7th in tokyo and immediately called for a fight with butler.
To crown the undisputed bantamweight champion of the world butler, who made wbo title holder last month after winning the infant belt with a master class performance against jonas sultan.
At pro bell, liverpool has told inui’s representatives that he wants to fight their man.
Japanese hero inuit holds the wbc, wba and ibf belts, but before moving out to super bantamweight, he is keen to fight butler who holds the missing piece of the jigsaw.
He says i’ve read all sorts of comments and predictions about the fight already butler has death wish.
Anyway, to win by murder and agreeing the fight would be like signing someone’s death warrant butler told pro bellam.
He hits very hard, but what’s the worst that can happen, he knocks me out.
I’Ve been stopped before and let me make it clear i’ll be going into that fight, believing i can win i’ll, be walking into the ring, believing that i always do that.
I can win the fight and become the undisputed bantamweight champion of the world.
One of boxing’s leading profound fighters – inui is a star attraction in japan and butler has no problem with facing monster in his backyard.
He said i want the fight in japan.
I would be silly not to if the fight could be made over here.
Fine, but if i get extra for fighting in japan and that’s what i’ll do, hopefully, contact can continue between both teams before the daener fight, inuit’s team had put the feelers out asking if i’d take the fight and if so, where would i want it? I’Ve told them i want it and i want it in japan.
Hopefully we can get this big fight butler by the way has yet to return to the gym with coach joe gallagher, but has started to ready his body for a return to grueling training camp.
In order to prepare for inui for now i would need 12 weeks at least butler added.
I’Ve not been back in the gym since the sultan fight, but i could be ready by the start of october.
I was nervous going into the inner duty versus fight because i was hoping we would win, because i know how big of a fight that would be for him uh.
I was starting to get itchy knuckles throughout the build up and did my first bunch of punching session since winning the world title on monday night.
I’Ll continue to put in one or two sessions a day and until we get the green light and it’s all systems go right on okay, let’s talk about anthony peterson after coming off a six-round knockout of saul corral, a boat that took place in his hometown of Washington dc on may 28, 2022 super lightweight, anthony pearson, who’s now 39-1 and one with 25 knockouts is eager to get back in the main event picture.
Peterson looked to be in his best shape his career and eyes.
Big challenges at the top of the division.
Moving forward, he said i’m looking to take one more fight to settle in after that, i’m going to big game hunting and i have teo fimo lopez on my scopes at peterson, um he’s advised by freeway rick ross, ceo of team freeway boxing.
This would be the best i’ve ever been uh going into fighting my entire career.
I want to credit my team for having things run so smoothly, i’m looking at all the big names in the super lightweight division, and i see lopez as the perfect person to fight it would be an honor to grace the ring with him.
I’M seeking a fight that defines my career and lopez.
