Nick Ball vs. Terence John Doheny & Andrew Cain vs. Charlie Edwards - Round by Round.

One more record building mismatch and then we are onto the good/more competitive fights.

 

wtf is the WBO European belt? Do they need a belt for everything. What's wrong with the EBU?

 

Sanctioning fees baby!
All of these minor trinkets are for promoters so that they can buy rankings. None of these trinket belts have actual rankings. There is no one in the WBO European top 10, there are no mandatories - there is just the title holder and the promoter who paid for it.

If you ever see any odd rankings, just look at the minor belts they have won - that will explain why they were ranked so high.
William Scull is the poster boy of: "How the **** did you become the mandatory challenger?" But he once fought for the IBF Latino Super Middle title.

 

Brad Strand vs. Ionut Baluta, 10 rounds @ super bantamweight

 

Anyone else enjoying a nice audio delay on DAZN?

 

Round 1 - 10-9 Strand

Overall, Baluta was the aggressor but missed with a lot of his punches.

 

Baluta has that amazing, undefinable Baozoka Limon, Carlos Maussa kind of inverse boxing "skill" where their physical intangibles almost always carry the day for them as opposed to anything approaching conventional boxing skill.

 

Round 1 - 10-9 Strand
Round 2 - 10-9 Strand

Strand 20-18.

Baluta is going to have to cut the distance between he and Strand if he wants to win rounds.

 

Pretty entertaining through two.

 

That´s Baluta for you. He is always worth the watch.

Brandon Strand vs. Ionut Baluta, 10 rounds @ super bantamweight

 

Imagine if someone like Robert Garcia trained him? Baluta with some actual fundamentals and decent tactics would be a nightmare for most top 15-30.

 

Round 1 - 10-9 Strand
Round 2 - 10-9 Strand
Round 3 - 10-9 Strand

Strand 30-27

Strand is taking advantage of Baluta's wild swings and is starting to land some good shots.

 

IB Funfact: Baluta, who is better than his record suggests, holds a victory over TJ Doheny, one half of today's main event.
