Joe Butler (20-4-1) scored a UD15 over #4 Charles McCoy (15-6-3) to win his first title defense of the LBC middleweight title.

Butler controlled the pace of the fight from the outset and never got into the slugging match that McCoy wanted. Butler battered McCoy in the first 2/3 of the fight and built a solid lead on the scorecards. McCoy was bleeding from the mouth in the 7th and went down in the 9th.

He shook it off and finished strong as Butler seemed content with the decision.

I had it 145-139. Tom Trunzo ringside had it 146-138. The official judges had it 143-141/146-139/144-140.
