Not surprisingly victorious
In the early morning of April 23, 2022, Beijing time, in a professional boxing lightest weight match held in Liverpool, England, former lightweight world boxer Paul Butler defeated Philippine boxer Jonas Sultan 3-0 after 12 rounds of competition to win the match. At the same time, Paul Butler also received a WBO's lightest weight world temporary champion gold belt.
The match was supposed to be a world championship battle between Paul Butler and the current WBO's lightest weight world champion, John Riel Casimero, but was disqualified from the tournament because John Riel Casimero was found to have violated the rules of the sauna to lose weight and weight. Filipino boxer Jonas Sultan was called as a substitute with only a week left before the match, so although Jonas Sultan had some strength and had beaten John Riel Casimero, no one was optimistic about him in this match.
Tournament overview
In the first round of the game, both sides were mainly tentative, because they both had experience in world wars, so neither of them could see anything uncomfortable. However, in the game, it can be clearly felt that Paul Butler is more prepared, while Jonas Sudan is gradually adjusting during the game.
In the second leg of the game, Paul Butler gradually dragged the game into a rhythm that suited him with a heavy punch. In this round, Jonas Sultan appeared to be more passive, his own blows were ineffective, and he was frequently hit by opponents.
In the third leg of the match, Jonas Sultan had more or less adapted to the game and began to take the initiative to engage in close hand-to-hand combat with Paul Butler. Obviously, this was the jonas Sultan team achieving a good game plan, so even though Jonas Sultan was warned for throwing too low a punch, he still followed the melee approach.
In the fourth and fifth rounds of the game, the game gradually fell into a state of anxiety in close combat. However, I think Paul Butler still has the advantage of the game.
In the sixth round of the match, Jonas Sultan hit Paul Butler with a beautiful right-handed punch at the beginning of the match. Paul Butler was visibly a little confused, but Paul Butler quickly recovered and did everything he could to fight back.
In the seventh leg of the match, Paul Butler tried every means to gain a point advantage, and his heavy and piercing punches were frequent, hitting Jonas Sultan continuously.
In the eighth round of the match, Jonas Sultan finally got into full shape and began to take the initiative in the game in this round.
In the ninth round of the match, the format of the game was similar to the eighth round, jonas Sultan still had the upper hand, and because Paul Butler's physical strength also declined, he had to follow Jonas Sultan's rhythm into close combat.
In the tenth and eleventh rounds of the match, Jonas Sultan's physical fitness also seemed to have declined, his movement speed slowed down, and the frequency of punches decreased. As a result, Jonas Sultan kept punching hard, seemingly in order to end the game in a KO way. However, Paul Butler, undaunted by Jonas Sultan's heavy punches (presumably also feeling that Jonas Sultan could not move him), began to exchange with Jonas Sultan in the center of the boxing ring, and gained a clear upper hand.
The twelfth round of the tournament was also the last round of the tournament, which was supposed to be the best round played by Jonas Sultan today. Jonas Sultan had squeezed out almost all of his physical abilities to bring out all his techniques, but his performances had started a little too late. Paul Butler, who had built up enough advantage in the previous few rounds, kept moving in this round, controlling his distance from Jonas Sultan and keeping himself out of trouble. The closer the game got to the end, the more jonas Sultan's despair could be felt.
In the end, the twelve rounds were all over, and Paul Butler relied on the huge lead he had previously established to withstand Jonas Sultan's counterattack in the final few rounds. The three referees on the scene, Howard Foster, Fernando Laguna and Manuel Oliver Palomo, gave scores of 116-112, 117-111 and 118-110, respectively. Paul Butler defeated Filipino boxer Jonas Sultan 3-0.
The attribution of the boxer has not yet been determined
However, after the victory, Paul Butler did not seem very happy, and he hoped to be able to turn regular in the next few weeks and become the WBO's lightest official boxing champion.
In a post-match interview, Paul Butler told reporters: "This wait has been a long journey for me, and it's a bit too long. The World Champion Battle between John Riel Casimero and I was supposed to be held in Dubai, but at that time the match was not held because of John Riel Casimero's failed weight reduction. And tonight, John Riel Casimero did not appear because of the weight reduction problem. Thankfully, Jonas Sultan came to the rescue, and for me he was a perfect opponent because he had beaten John Riel Casimero. We only had 48 hours to make a plan for the game after confirming the opponent, and yes I had a full preparation within 48 hours. ”
"In today's game, I always remind myself to stay excited because I don't want to stay where I am and let Jonas Sultan manipulate me. In the end I won the race and made Jonas Sultan pay the price. Paul Butler added to reporters.
At this point, it depends on the WBO's final announcement, whether to arrange for Paul Butler and John Riel Casimero to fight in the World Boxing Championship as soon as possible, or to directly promote Paul Butler as the new boxing champion, I believe there will be a conclusion soon.
