03:45campas
03:46who that fighter there if he wins this fight tonight has a shot at my title everybody wants a piece
03:51of
03:52roster all right folks you know you're looking at one of the more popular co-figures in sports a man
03:57who's given name is eric ash but he's better known as butterbean king of the four-rounders as he is
04:03dubbed his opponent tonight is cowboy bill eaton he fought him last september and folks it was a
04:09memorable fight one that ended in a draw and tonight we anxiously await the rematch
04:27people don't want to see me boxing
04:30they want to see a fight when i go out they want to see a brawl
04:35i think i'm a regular person that people can really relate to
04:41i'm a family man i i go out there and i have fun and i do what i want and
04:46i don't put on to be
04:47somebody i'm not
04:50i've been in wrestling and i've been in football and all these other sports and i've always been
04:55up against guys that always seem to be 10 times bigger than me and i strive on that i get
05:00it makes
05:00me hungry in part of my training i work out with the high school wrestlers what they do is what
05:07they call an iron man they just keep rotating on me and until i drop
05:16i was shocked because when i hit him with the left hand i turned to throw the right hook and
05:21the
05:21man wasn't there i thought it was a slip i just got up smiling if you if you watch the
05:25tape i was
05:25smiling when it happened you got a 300 some odd pound man coming across a 16 foot ring
05:30and you make contact and he ends up back in his corner sitting on his butt that's an awful bad
05:35slip i was not in a good stance but i was being stupid plain and simple i was doing something
05:42stupid
05:42i shouldn't have been doing when i'd get in close he would headbutt me he would elbow me well it
05:47was a
05:47draw so it really wasn't a loss but it bugs me because of his attitude we're from down here in
05:52the
05:52country and those country boys used to be kicked in the head by mules so uh his headbutton ain't
05:58gonna knock me down i'm just gonna basically work on the body i'm gonna really tear his body up
06:03the only way better being is gonna wear me out is lay on me with that obese body of his
06:08uh as far as toe to toe i can stand toe to toe with king kong i thought i won
06:14the last fight he will
06:15go down and he did i'm hoping he thinks he has enough power to knock me out i hope he
06:20gets brave
06:20enough to come in and want to slug it out when we come back oscar night will get underway as

11:18comes to us from jasper alabama ladies and gentlemen presenting the iba four round super heavyweight
11:39and the fourth member of our broadcast crew tonight a former wba
11:56lightweight champion sean o'grady sean in the corner of butterbean murray sutherland tells me
12:02they're still going to have the bean attack remember what happened the last time he fought bill bill
12:06eaton and he attacked he found himself looking at the lights these two are going to heat it up quickly
12:11fellas all right sean thank you very much and indeed butterbean says he will go at him but this time
12:17a lot
12:17more cautiously and eaton coming out very confident in the early goal landed a couple of clean punches already
12:24eaton did you heard an awful lot of confident talk by bill eaton in that setup piece he says in
12:32no way
12:32does he fear butter beans in the very first fight i saw um that butterbean outlanded actually um
12:41about 92 to 78 punches which uh that's the reason why they uh landed in the draw
12:47and we'll keep in mind as gill clancy indicated a 100 pound plus weight difference here and oscar i
12:53found it interesting that eden says he was going to go after butterbeen's head a much bigger target but
12:59that time it was eden's head that was a big target as being connected well what i see now is
13:04that eden's
13:04being careful he's uh he's trying to box him he's actually trying to make butterbean miss oh he got caught
13:09with a good left hook there but he's trying to make butterbean miss because he knows that butterbean
13:13it's going to be very very aggressive but butterbean just got nailed putting his right foot forward
13:19being way off balance and wide open yeah it looks like bean is trying to employ some boxing technique
13:26as opposed to brawling well that's not what he told me in his secret meeting secret indeed huh
13:34there's no secret that the big fella certainly is not a stylist a brawler indeed as he caught some
13:41leather that time from eden but smiled in return you know what butterbean has has a history of busting
13:47up you know if eden keeps landing that straight left end we may see some uh strange action in this
13:53ring
13:56he resides in killer missouri works at a ford plant there and everyone back in kidder felt that he won
14:03the
14:03previous fight of course it was a draw and that everyone consists of 260 people in kidder missouri
14:10including the livestock i was going to say what about the mule
14:15do you think he trades by letting a mule kick him on the chin to prepare for butterbean i think
14:21so
14:23what a team looks very sluggish to me right now wide open he seems to me back yeah he just
14:30doesn't
14:31seem like he's good at all nice job gentlemen well maybe one big punch can turn that all around oscar
14:36but right now he just does not seem like he's not he's not the butter bean that he said he
14:41was going
14:41to be that's for sure james it doesn't matter how much you train for a softball fighter
14:47they will always confuse you inside that ring definitely causes problems definitely
14:54you and gill also talked about the size of this ring favoring cowboy will eat but he does not use
15:01his legs the way i think he should he can use them a little bit more look look at the
15:05power that left
15:05look moved even back about four feet but again
15:12the rematch is underway
15:16oscar night here at the foxwood resorts casino just underway start of round two cowboy bill
15:22leading into blue trunks and the bean in the flag source an impressive 82 punches landed from eden
15:30connected 23 of 20 to 28 actually with the bean throwing 37 punches and only 12 connected big difference
15:38he's really being bothered by that southwest style eat eaton is moving mostly to his right as he's doing
15:45there and setting setting the bean up at that straight left hand
15:51and bean continues to block a lot of those punches by bill eaton with his face
16:00he's having difficulties with uh eating what do you think uh bean should do gill well what bean should
16:07do oscar is slide to his left slide to his left take himself out of the punching range but he's
16:15letting
16:15he's letting eating eat you see look where he's right foot is it'll be outside it'll be outside the
16:21beans left foot that's why you can get that left hand in it away here he comes around again
16:26apparently they didn't prepare the bean to fight us out for
16:32bean caught him with a left hook and dropped him
16:35and that was indeed a knockdown well it wasn't knocked down but he wasn't hurt by the punchman
16:41right he was basically off balance but that's a big in a four round fight that's a big round for
16:46the bean
16:47because in my opinion ethan was out punching him uh did it in the first round and he was doing
16:52it
16:52again in this round eaton certainly looks to be in pretty doggone good shape as well
16:58oh in trouble gotta get away from the corner and that eaton did
17:10again you can just see eaton just hiding on him just sliding over to his right
17:15and the bean doesn't know where he is see him coming over to his right
17:25and eaton now is starting to breathe a little heavy
17:27but so is the bean well the bean always breathes heavy
17:37bean caught him with the counter left
17:39everyone tried to smile at all and that was that mule kick punch
17:44let him out let him out step back one step back here we go
17:48the kick without the horseshoe
17:55bean missed with the right but caught him with the shoulder
17:59now here's a round that butterbean scored a knockdown but i would not give him a two-point
18:04mount for it because outside of the knockdown i think he lost most of the round i agree with you
18:09gill
18:10eden is winning this round but he did score the knock knock down from bean so i i feel it
18:15third round of action here in the rematch between butterbean and cowboy bill eden both men got started
18:20in boxing by way of local tough men contest
18:26and being realizing that he's got to dominate
18:29in that they only fight four rounds trying to get started aggressively here
18:33now in the second round eating again outlanded butterbean 33 punches to butterbean's 18. very
18:41impressive again that's why just because uh bean scored that flash knockdown i certainly wouldn't
18:47give him a two-point mount look how off balance he is
18:50that's good
18:52eatin is showing all kinds of heart while bean is pounding around eatin is about the business of working
19:01butterbean is trying to make even fight his fight though
19:04eatin should continue moving around using the ring he doesn't have to stay inside with this big man
19:10point well taken very impressive from both fighters they are definitely earning their money tonight
19:17well eden said he was surprised that butterbean gave him a rematch and he wanted to take advantage
19:22of butterbean as he thought he did in the first one
19:27right hand to the body that time got 320 pounds or more punching at him i think they put on
19:3515 pounds
19:36since the way in last night the other oscar that internet voting showed that most fans think that
19:42butterbean is winning six of ten 60 for being 40 for eden but certainly we're seeing a little
19:49different here well the knockdown had the fight close actually because uh when the fans watch a
19:54fight they see a knockdown and they will give that round to the person who had the opponent on the
19:59canvas so um this fight is a close fight it's a very action-packed fight and um i just give
20:05the
20:05fighters both credit because they are just trying so hard and they're making the fans enjoy themselves
20:10and just they're having fun they're having a great time and they're in great shape actually
20:14they're uh they're giving a great performance beans shape trippy for the commissioner he's been in
20:20with a new nutritionist and eaten dropped again bean corner
20:26three three a roundhouse left took right on the chin buckled his legs he went down six he's hurt
20:33seven are you all right can you continue get your hands up yes all right let's see come out here
20:38he says he's ready to go he got nailed with two good punches and walked into a left in the
20:44chin there
20:44square on the chin all but over bean target practice now it's all over
20:58well it took more than one mule punch from being several indeed to drop him several several mule kicks
21:05that he took and a very very very strong puncher from being very impressive i'm sure i'm sure that he
21:12can
21:12say my mule don't kick that hard they don't make mules that big and get her take them out peace
21:17out
21:20what a game effort by cowboy bill eaton he was doing the best he could there he got
21:25but now with that looping right hand and there's a left hand he was setting himself up for a left
21:32hook right to the chin and came back with a right hand very impressive from butterby very impressive
21:37in hockey they would call that a deke when the basketball court it's a fake butterbean is a good
21:43finisher once he gets your height he really lets it all hang out that's why people like to watch him
21:52power indeed and a certain
21:56certain people in the stands cheering him on his son caleb and his wife libby
22:02seeing butterbean improve his record to 38 one and one and for the official particulars let's check in
22:10with the ring and michael buffett
22:14ladies and gentlemen referee matt mulaney goes a halt to the bout the official time two minutes 38 seconds
22:21of round number three the winner by knockout victory he is still the king of the four rounders
22:43yeah
22:44so butterbean victorious over cowboy bill eaton in the rematch sean o'brady what do you have for us
22:52butterbean you told me you were going to slug tonight but you boxed a little bit in the
22:55earlier rounds is that what made this fight for you i thought it was i wanted to see what he
22:59had

23:04us what he had you also showed us what you had even taunting him there in that third round why
