    See, Wallin is a uber skilled legit talent. Which is precisely why you shouldn't reflexively just assume when a "no name" prospect gets tapped for a match against a top fighter like Fury, that they're a bum. Most of the time, untested fighters falter, but a handful prove to be the real deal.:deal:

    I assume that’s based on your knowledge of him before this fight because the quality of opposition was not a gauge of anything he got a tko because he was basically to tired lol

    I've been a fan of Wallin for a long time. Put a thread up back in like 2012-2013 which was very successful until a troll ruined it. As @theanatolian @lucky luke will remember. We've been following our boy still though and are proud of his success despite years of obscurity.

    I don’t doubt that you are relentless and knowledgeable to, has wallin held any European titles? He has a decent jab but I’ve only seen a little bit of him, do you think he did himself more harm than good facing fury and the criticism the fight got?

    IIRC, he picked up some crappy Euro strap when he beat Granat a few years back.

    Surprised Kauffman is still going. It must be two years since he got smashed by Ortiz. We can't really talk about stay-busy fights now because of the covid break, but I guess that's what it was for Wallin, an easy way to get back into things and get noticed. He should aim higher next time around. A match-up against Helenius would be a regional derby, some bragging rights, a good money spinner and an excellent opportunity to climb the ranks.

    But neither of them are names, so Showtime doesn't care.
