Alen Babic Dropped Early, Wins Decision Over Adam Balski in Wild Thriller

While the last thing the world probably needs right now is a WBC silver bridgerweight title, Alen Babic is one of those fighters that tends to put smiles on faces and the new world of small heavyweights (or big cruiserweights) could be a home for him.

Babic’s fight with Adam Balski had just about everything. It started as an all-out firefight and a knockdown, it moved into a bit of an exhausted stalemate, then both showed stunning bravery and stamina, there was an illegal punch that almost turned the fight on its head and there was a grandstand finish. There was even a fair bit of skill at times.

Against all the odds, it went the distance, Babic winning a unanimous decision, by scores of 97-91 twice and 95-93, but this was a wild and crazy thriller.
