Re: Labinot Xhoxhaj vs Mourad Aliev
Its such a shame the heavyweight euro title isn't respected right now...
its been a great belt, look at the past people to hold it from 2012-2020... Joyce, Kabayal, Pulev, helenious, chisora, fury... I feel same can be said for commonwealth and British, they have lost a bit of there shine mabey but at least Fabio has been a good champ for them. euro hasn't had a good fight since Joyce vs DDD...
Moses should pick up the commonwealth, British and euro, there quality trinkets, but he just doesn't seem interested.

Barely anyone even defends it 3 times anymore.
A boxer wins it and then they get ordered to fight another domestic boxer and think naaa, too risky..
Vacate and fight for the wba continental or whatever instead.

Re: Labinot Xhoxhaj vs Mourad Aliev
Xhoxhaj wins a close UD to retain his European heavyweight title, 115-113, 114-113 and 115-112(same) probably the worst fight I've seen this year, terrible so it was especially for the European title, both a mess, Xhoxhaj was like a barrel, Aliev looked in better shape, tall southpaw but he gassed by the 6th and it was just a mess, both super slow looked like they were fighting underwater, there was more breaks in the action than fighting, both men spent more time wrestling on the canvas, Aliev got a point off for throwing Xhoxhaj through the ropes, there were head clashes, tape kept coming loose, just a mess, Xhoxhaj basically won because he was less sh1t than Aliev who spent more time holding and leaning in the second half, didn't use his height or reach and allowed a bang average Xhoxhaj to hustle him for a decision, zero quality it was horrific, Dave Allen beats both

Dave Allen headlining Doncaster for the Euro belt would be a comical story ark.
