Last June, two-time world title challenger Steven Butler (38-6-1, 32 KO) delivered a valiant performance at the legendary Madison Square Garden, where he notably sent hard-hitting New Yorker Edgar Berlanga to the canvas. Steven Butler and Erik Bazinyan will square off in a pivotal bout that could very well determine the direction of their respective careers. While Orobio and Perez look to solidify their places among the world elite, two familiar faces to Quebec boxing fans will have something very different to prove on November 12 — both to EOTTM and to themselves. The co-main event will feature Lenar Perez (17-0, 15 KO), who will make a quick return to the ring after scoring one of the biggest victories of his career on September 3. I will continue to train hard to put on a performance that will allow me to thank them on November 12, and at the same time, prove that I am the best,” said the fighter known as “El Tigre.” On November 12, at the Cabaret du Casino de Montréal, Eye of the Tiger will hand the reins of a main event to its 22-year-old Colombian prodigy for the very first time.
