Steven Butler vs Vitalii Kopylenko

Tonight at 7 pm ET streaming live on Facebook, Golden Boy has a card from The Joint at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas, headlined by a middleweight clash between former amateur rivals Yamaguchi Falcao and Christopher Pearson. Falcao and Pearson fought in the World Series of Boxing as amateurs, with Pearson winning a decision that Falcao thought was a robbery. Representing Brazil, Falcao won bronze at light heavyweight at the 2012 Olympics in London, but he’s 31 now, and been a pro for five years. It’s really time for him to get going, if he’s going to try to be a serious contender.
