Something me & my old man talk about regular at shows. Some of them look incapable of beating anyone & completely lacking in the basics.

Bloated records based pretty much exclusively on what are effectively gym fights. If you look at the locations of most of these wins on your average Latvian/Belarussian import you'll see a 'miraculous' coincidence where they batter some other punter with an 0-1 record at the same location time after time.

Alot of the fights of the latvians etc are done in gyms, so you have a ref, judge etc but no crowd (who would pay anyway)
so they get a few wins that way, logged with the latvian board and then brought over here as fodder for our boxers.

You've got that right
I thought he'd be an average opponent when I clicked the record, but this man is actually a former International Masters Silver SMW title challenger and former Baltic Boxing Union International champ. :oo

Etches management turned down Lewis Taylor for (allegedly) a career best purse because it was a backwards step then meets this chap tonight.

To be pedantic, the guy did beat a home fighter with a winning record in France a few years back.

Boxing being an Olympic sport has presence in every country. The levels are lower in some places but fight are held nevertheless. Where do many UK journeymen get their wins, they don't fight on Sky either.

uk journeymen are uaually pretty decent, they pick up the odd win over debutants or novice pros.

Great article that, right eye opener that, club Riga was a prominent venue,

Are a lot "American journeyman wins" picked up in school gymnasiums venues, it must be hard to
Facilitate boxing over there as there's that many different affiliations
