The Rice Street Gym's Brad Patrow is set to face off with Duluth's Craig Butler this Saturday at the Brunette Boxing gym. The two featherweights met in the ring for the first time back on September 10th where Patrow won by decision.

"Butler is a puncher and he is tough" said Patrow. " It was a tough, action packed fight."

The fight was fought at a very fast pace that had the crowd cheering throughout. Butler showed determination and durability in that bout but Patrow proved to be a little too quick and elusive for the Twin Ports fighter on that day.

" I thought i was a little sloppy but overall I thought I controlled the fight. I also thought that I was the the stronger fighter. In this fight, I will box more and move alot more."

The near future looks to be a busy one for Patrow. A future that includes turning professional after competing in three final amateur tournaments.

" I will be fighting in the USA, Golden Gloves and the Rinside tournaments and then I am turning pro."
