Davies handling him far easier than I expected so far. Very impressive.

I'm watching this and getting renewed respect for Babic.
It's so hard to pull off the angry maniac style. Baluta makes me realise Babic is actually pretty good.

8-3 LD.
I can't imagine any1 has Baluta ahead.

8-4 Davies. I love that mad Romany clubber. Such knackers. Proper fighting man. Never gave an inch never gave up for a second

Final round, Baluta needs a KO surely ?

Maybe some1 is 6-5 and could Give Io a draw ? :maybe:

I give Baluta the 12th for desire, 8-4.

davies should win pretty comfortably though baluta came on in the last quarter and i thought won 4 rounds after getting nearly blanked over the first half

I've got Davies a 118-110 winner, really mature performance by him, tamed the beast, Baluta wild and erratic as ever, never stopped marauding forward but Davies done a great job of keeping him bay with some nice counter punching, whether it be the jab or left hook or the right hand, great timing, footwork was class and his defence was solid, never seen anyone deal with Baluta as easy as that, Davies stepping up all the time and gaining good experience against good fighters

Liam and BT getting a bit carried away here. Nobody has beaten Baluta that clearly it's true, but Brit/Euro level for at least another year.
