Janos Balogh an Hungariian, he is 36 years old, has lost all his 8 fights, all fought in slovakia, been beaten and stopped by Journeymen, in fact been stopped 5 times, in his last fight he was stopped in the 1st round by a 2-1 Slovakian, I know Jason Welborn's team want to keep him winning before he faces Frankie Gavin for the British Title next, but come on, how is this a warm up for Gavin ? It will end in the first round, maybe a bad knockout, where is the safety here ? Balogh is a prime example of a fighter who could get badly hurt, even brain damage. This fight is no good for anyone, Welborn, Balogh, the fans and health and safety.

It is isn't it mate. A one sided beat down is all I can see on the cards.

At least this guy has actually won a fight. Still a woeful match-up though.

They have changed it from this morning it was Janos Balogh, before, I wonder if the promoter has switched it after the post, or there has been a mix up with the language barrier.
