I remember that card very well. I remember seeing Jermain Taylor for the first time on that card. It was supposed to be the prospect versus the game journeyman in Grant but Butler just didn't show up. He was fighting dirty and Grant was retaliating and it really got ugly but they kept touching gloves after the dirty moves so...well everything was ok. Butler put on a performance similar to that of Judah against Baldomir. He looked good at times and looked like he could get it done but he never did and let WAY to many rounds slip. He just didn't put it together and I guess that was frustration afterwards. But one of the worst things I've ever seen in a boxing ring.
I have that fight on video tape somewhere around here.
