Nahh... I'm not impressed by this stuff.

He was still growing into the weight though and could easily make the superfly limit. He took the fight vs Hall because it was a big domestic showdown. Its similar to Broner really, he can stay at the weight or go back down and perform better than he would if he stayed there. He still has maturing to do and I understand why he has moved back down IMO. It might have been a tougher fight with Caballero but why wait and find out when you can be breaking records

?

I have no problem with Butler moving down, it was clear from the Hall fight he will struggle until he grows into it.

I'm just moaning about all the "world" champion talk. They stole the title off Hall, realised it was a tougher jump than expected, so immediately dump it. It's hardly an endorsement for the "dream" of being world champion, is it?

No but as you said it was tougher than expected. Hopefully he will prove that against Tete.
