    118 was nonsense and 117 very kind to Davies, but he dealt with the crack hobo challenge very well. Not sure this fight tells us anything about how he'd fare against a good boxer.

    Baluta looked like **** to be honest and the better boxer won.

    No, I wasn't. I was simply unimpressed by Davies. Yeah, he was landing clean counters here and there, but by no means was this some kind of stunning schooling. Baluta's activity and occasional wild hook that he'd land was almost enough to or was enough to edge the 3 flush shots Davies would land per round. The commentators were deranged and borderline fanatical with their worship of a man who only looked slightly more impressive than Brad Foster. The only thing "special" about Davies tonight was his length. Hell, even you couldn't bring yourself to have him winning wide.

    That's debatable, most on thi RBR had him losing between 4 and 6 rounds.

    Watching the post-fight interview, I have to give Davies a bit of credit for his performance coming so soon after the charisma bypass operation...

    Commentators being hyperbolic dicks is nothing new.

    I didn't call it wide because it wasn't wide. As inaccurate as Baluta's work was, there were a few rounds where his volume and handful of hits won the round in my eyes.

    But in terms of tools and intelligence there was only one boxer in that ring tonight. And Baluta was nowhere near getting a draw, despite it not being wide.
