    Baluta crude as hell as always but he's rarely in anything other than an interesting fight. He always turns up swinging.

    Round 1 McCann 10-9, very close
    Round 2 Baluta 10-9
    Round 3 Baluta 10-9, close
    Round 4 Baluta 10-9
    Round 5 Baluta 10-9, close
    Round 6 McCann 10-9, close
    Round 7 Baluta 10-9

    Baluta coming out a bit faster, lands a few one twos, Baluta jabbing much better now. Clubbing rights from Baluta, McCann fires back a right. Baluta backs him to the ropes, attempts some hooks, misses most of them. Headclash, ref calls time. Allows it to continue. Even though McCann is bleeding from the forehead. Baluta is marching forward, landing hooks. Gets him on the ropes, wailing away. Slapping rights from Baluta. Flurries before the bell.

    That's a nasty ass cut. McCann's cutman is gonna earn his pay with that one.

    Got Baluta winning every round I've seen, can't weigh in on the first round since I missed it.

    Round 1 McCann 10-9, very close
    Round 2 Baluta 10-9
    Round 3 Baluta 10-9, close
    Round 4 Baluta 10-9
    Round 5 Baluta 10-9, close
    Round 6 McCann 10-9, close
    Round 7 Baluta 10-9
    Round 8 Baluta 10-9

    Baluta picks up where he left off, coming forward, McCann lands some body shots. McCann jabbing well. They trade shots, Baluta goes down, ref calls it a slip. Baluta right back up, swinging like a madman. Baluta stepping in, landing rights, McCann playing matador a bit better. But Baluta throwing constant volume, McCann pressing forward walks into a huge right from Baluta, McCann hurt and holds. Baluta gets pushed down again. Baluta flurries on an aggressive McCann.

    I'll give McCann some credit, he's got decent recovery skills. Saw him on shaky legs multiple times and thought for sure he was going down. Feel certain though that if the fight had gone on, he'd have gone down.

    I got it 7 or 8 rounds for Baluta, if we count the last one. No idea who the first round should go to since I saw only the last ten seconds. Could see it being a bit closer though, given one or two rounds were kinda close.

    This ref is dreadful. Every time I see the useless ***** there's an early stoppage or some other BS. He panics every time and messes up.

    I bet on Baluta. I hope they don’t rob him.
