That wasn't his last KO.
His last KO was against Srad Govedarica in 2018.
I get a lot of us don't like Wallin as an opponent, but we shouldn't discredit him on what I assume was an opponent from when he was fighting every month in 2015. Hell it might be his first ever fight...

After viewing that video at 1080p, you can make out the name on the YouTube Teddy Atlas is watching. It's a TKO of a guy called David Gegeshidze from back in 2015. Which was also Wallin first of 5 fights back in 2015. So I think we can cut him some slack on that one
Wallin's record shows that David Gegeshidze
was his first win of five in 2015, during a period when as a young fighter he needed to be facing as many opponents as quickly as possible for ring time experience.
Every fighter has less than admirable opposition when they are coming up.

Of course it matters.

I think it was more about his opponent's lack of desire to fight than on Otto's skills.

Fair point, but the guy appears to be someone who gets brought in to be a professional L on a record.

I mean, we can disregard him. Regardless, he’s worse than Sam sexton

No doubt. I'm guessing if his handlers thought more of him, he wouldn't have taken this sort of fight at this time. More development would have been better.

It seems like a totally trivial thing in all. Some totally overmatched weak opponent went down easy. So what.
Agreed, not a good opponent, but it looks to be a stay busy fight when taken in the context of him beating Granat less than three months later for a lesser European belt
Edit:. I just want to reiterate. I too would prefer Fury to face top 20 opposition at a minimum
But I do expect Wallin to try to make a fight of it, and try to rough fury up a little. He seems game from what little I have watched of him

More like easy money and no shame losing to this lineal monster.
It's a joke.

that too. But if the kid had a future, would've been more money down the line. He's crap. We all agree.
