Topic: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 - page 34. (Read 16050 times)

All our predictions will be revealed in the fight day but most of us favor for the monster inoue because based on his last performance against Nonito donaire it's clear that the monsters are unstoppable right now in bantamweight he is the king and also without a doubt that the outcome of his fight is from TKO because of his strength, power and speed also he can adjust weather of the fight and that's the reason why he became a unstoppable.

Yes, betting options are still limited but in my own speculation, the odds for Inoue winning by KO regardless of the round, are not that high.

I might skip betting on this fight as knowing Butler, he even has a chance to be KO at Round 1.

It's hard to analyze this kind of matchup in terms of what round it will end by Inoue.

We will find out this December, right now, the only available odds are the moneyline odds which is 1.02 for Inoue per my bookie. Maybe bettors will just be predicting which round Inoue will KO Butler as most likely Inoue will again win by KO. I believe he can do it with Butler as he does it with Donaire which is a better fighter than Butler IMO.

Is that statement of yours referring to betting in this particular right?

There's no need to complicate everything. Research about this fight is nonsense as the result is very clear. Depends on the betting line, I doubt bookies will open a betting for Inoue winning by TKO in a matter of 6 rounds with decent odds.

Odds for Inoue winning by TKO in the early rounds maybe will just be around 1.4 - 1.5.

The risks is very high when you place a bet on Butler. Setting up an attractive odd for the underdog is a clear indicator that the opponent have almost no chance at winning at all.
When you bet on Butler to win, you are most likely going to throw away your money. Though I can see, some are starting to get interested in ML for Paul Butler. Well, if you've got money to burn, take the risk, upsets are always there anyway. Who knows.

Whales would not bet on that, though it's very small and most likely Inoue will win, but there's still a huge risk betting on that low odds. I would rather bet on Inoue winning by KO between rounds 1-3 than put a bet on ML. I think everybody here believes that Inoue will win, but as I said, it's a high risk putting a huge bet on ML as he is not guaranteed a winner.

Others might take that risk and bet on Butler because of the attractive odds and hope he can pull an upset.


I'm not sure if the fight will also go to distance, most likely it will end in the middle rounds, like maybe 5-6. And it this is good odds, then maybe it's worth to give it a shot and see if our predictions happen.

ML? nah, not worth for us, just regular gamblers. Maybe there are whales that are willing to take their chances and bet in a thousands of dollars.

If you are good with the odd, then you can go for it, but I also suggest waiting for more additional odds to be open, most of the time

bookies open these kinds of odds when the fight is nearing or during the fight night. Those mentioned options do have better odds instead

of the ML. But then again, if you are good with the ML, you can simply place your bet now then wait for the date.

Ok I got your point, but still maybe it is just a consolation to say that he gain respect because he did fight the best boxer in this division. And as you can with Ryan Garcia's case, he wanted to fight the best in Davis because he wanted to gain respect. I don't think that he will get it at him losing the fight.

So again, we say that just to comfort those who didn't win in competition, another just is Usyk vs Joshua. In the post fight conference, fans and media are clapping him, maybe sign of respect, but in the end, the pain of losing the second time to Usyk is going to hurt his legacy.

I do not know,. but seeing how things are going, I think that the most optioned for me is Inoue, particularly I think that he is a more explosive boxer who can determine any ending to the last round, and with a great option that he can give a surprise with a knockout, apart from that I like him a lot his style, on the other hand Butler I see it well, he is strong, he is a boxer who can also surprise to give a knockout, this fight will have many good things, what I like is how butler manages the times, that It makes it seem like he has everything under control, but you don't have to trust either, things in boxing can go either way.


Right now I see things very complicated, especially for betting, I have seen how many people wait for the statistics, to give themselves a guide of what they can do, but who can the money and will risk it is ourselves as bettors, I in In case I do my personal research, that includes doing research online, interviews, something you may have seen, maybe some kind of training videos, everything that has to do with boxers, check here the forum is an inflatable option and it is the last option that I see is that it is usually one of the most powerful information tools that exist, I like to review the news, and especially internal forums that have to do with boxing, then make a decision that has nothing to do with associated emotions, which is something very difficult, so I do.

Since betting on Inoue has very small odds, you can also look for other betting lines.
But for me, betting on Butler as a winner has also a very slim chance.
Just need to wait for the bookies to open those betting lines, like which round it will end?
Or will the fight go the distance? I believe, this is more worth it to bet, rather than betting a small amount of Butler.
But that's your money, so up to you which betting line you are more comfortable to bet with.

Looks like it won't going to change but maybe there's a possibility that it will even rise. Paul Butler has no chance to win here that's why odds for him might increase as the fight approaches. We can't expect a miracle to happen here and the only way for Butler to win is to really give a hard punch that can put Inoue down and kiss the floor.

Although betting $10 in favor of Butler should not harm your pocket even your chances to win are really small.

LOL, you are asking Butler to get KO'ed in an early round.  I do not think Butler has a solid chin that can absorb punches of Inoue.  If he goes toe to toe, then I think the match will end before we know it  .


Butler can gain respect even though he won't fight toe to toe.  Boxing isn't about punching only, that involves, defenses, evasion, and strategy.  Even the use of the ring can earn respect from the audience.  So I do not mind Butler running around the ring as long as he can cut angles and position that make Inoue ineffective, I think that is enough to give Butler respect.


I think the same too, Sultan is way too sluggish so the strategy of Butler is very effective on him.  But Inoue has the reflexes, the quickness and the knowledge to cut the ring so I think Butler will have a problem impementing his hit and run tactic.

That Paul Bulter odds just show us that bookies are giving around a close to 99% chance that Naoya Inoue will win. It was not just because Inoue is popular but it's really clear that Butler has no way to win. Upset is possible in boxing but not for this match. This is not even between a Champion vs Champion as Butler didn't get a chance to prove he is worthy of the WBO title because of Casimero's violation of British Boxing terms.

You are correct that Butler fans will be happy with the odds as they were surely willing to put money on him regardless if the chances of winning are too small.

It just shows the Inoue is already a big star, usually this kind of listing that is too early only happens to name boxers or at least fighters from the US. But Inoue has earn his name already and that is why his fight has been listed very early.


Yeah, I'm not seeing a major jump as well. Unless UK fans of Butler will throw a lot of money in his side. But I doubt that as well that it could move the odds closer. So there will be no swing what so ever. And for Butler fans out there, the odds are very much attractive for them. 

Didn't expect that a crypto bookie will list right away a fight that is around 3 months to go. Usually, in the Bantamweight division especially involving Naoya Inoue, it will be listed on a crypto sportsbook 2-3 days before the fight. Maybe if against Super Underdog, there might be an exception.

I'm sure that the odds for Butler won't change if no minor injuries will be sustained by Inoue during the training period. I honestly even think that from 12.00, odds for him will be as high as 15.00, and Butler winning by KnockOut is around 30.00.

Huge call, good luck mate, when everyone is on Inoue, I think that 12.00 odds of Butler is really attractive. After all, Butler is also a champ although we can say that Inoue could really dominate him, but who knows, it's an undisputed fight, for sure Butler has been preparing with hard training as well.

Anyway, good luck with that, an upset will make Inoue's ranking go down and will make people stop hyping his name that he is the next Manny Pacquiao.

Naoya's fights rarely end in 12 rounds, a KO could happen somewhere before the 6th round if Butler fights toe to toe.
Fight is few months away but Stake is too excited to list the fight  Inoue 1.02 vs Butler 12.00. If this is not going to change by 1st week of Dec, I'd be hoping for an upset betting $10 for Butler.

Maybe he was successful with Sultan, but with a faster and more powerful Inoue, I think he will have trouble all night if he will just uses the same strategy. Inoue loves an opponent that will go toe to toe with him, but I'm pretty sure he also has a strategy to beat an opponent that would love to run.

That was more of a respectful way for boxers if they will try to hurt each other. Butler can still get the respect of the fans not just by winning but if he will able to make the fight a tough and difficult one for Inoue. But since it's unlikely that Butler can't go toe-to-toe against Inoue, as long as we see him trying his best to compete against the Japanese Big Monster, then respect might also come from it.

Butler can run as a usual and common preventive way to avoid the monster. That's a strategy after all but shouldn't be the entire match that he is running. That's not boxing already trying to just avoid being Knock Out by Inoue on Butler's record.
