Buter just an all around loser
James Butler Jr. (b. December 18, 1972 in Harlem, New York) is a former American light heavyweight boxer, and former USBA super middleweight champion. He had a career record of 20-5-0, with 12 wins coming by way of knockout, and was nicknamed "The Harlem Hammer".
Biography
Butler started off his career by scoring 18 wins and only 1 loss in the supermiddleweight division. This led to a title fight against Sven Ottke who beat Butler by unanimous decision.
Butler's next bout earned him infamy on November 23, 2001 at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan, New York. After losing by unanimous decision to Richard "The Alien" Grant, Butler had his gloves removed and went to Grant's side of the ring for an expected exchange of congratulations. Suddenly, Butler hit the unsuspecting Grant with a right hook to the jaw. Grant's jaw was badly broken. Butler was arrested and charged with aggravated assault.
Butler's last bout was a split-decision loss on August 10, 2004 to Omar Sheika.
Murder conviction
On October 12, 2004, writer Sam Kellerman (brother of boxing analyst Max Kellerman) was murdered. (His body was found on October 17). Butler was considered a suspect; he had been friends with Kellerman for ten years.
On October 20, Butler, accompanied by a lawyer, sought treatment for his alleged bipolar disorder.
Butler was arrested for the Kellerman slaying on October 27, and two days later, he plead not guilty to murder and arson. He was held on $1.25 million bail. Prosecutors claimed that Butler, the only suspect in the case, repeatedly struck Kellerman in the head with a hammer, then torched Kellerman's Hollywood, California apartment in an attempted coverup.
On July 8, 2005, a Los Angeles judge ruled that there was sufficient evidence for Butler to stand trial on the charges of murder and arson.
On March 27, 2006, Butler pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and arson in the 2004 death of Kellerman. On April 5, Butler was sentenced to 29 years, four months in prison by Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor, according to Deputy Public Defender Jack Keenan.
The suspected motive for the murder was that Kellerman was forcing Butler to move out of Kellerman's apartment. Butler, who was struggling to revive his career and suffering through a difficult relationship with his girlfriend and child, picked up a hammer and killed Kellerman.

Your broad loves me.....
Why am I just now seeing this?
I remember watching that match live. I could see that something was brewing because Grant while winning the fight was taunting Butler in an effeminate manner. It was easy to see that Butler didn't like that shtuff at all. I didn't expect the fight to end without the referee needing to take a point or call a timeout to give a stern warning but it did. Butler coyly waited until the end of the fight and came over as if he was going to congratulate Grant. Instead, he just layed Grant down using the right hand without the padding of the gloves to cushion the blow.
Why you holding that man up in that chokehold? Let that man fall Please
i always thought he was holding him up like that for him to hopefully wake up so he could save face.
but that was a gruseome punch and he wasn't gettin up
in what way was he taunting him in an effeminatemanner?
forreal i didn't wtch the fight
He did a few simulated humps during the fight along with general preening and prancing in the ring.
i'm gona watch it to understand this 'preening and prancing'
