To be honest, I expected Baluta to win, I thought he shaded it, but in a rematch I expect McCann to improve and win.
Baluta is great value for money to watch and will give anyone a tough fight. But I doubt there is much adjustment or improvement in him.
Whereas McCann and his team should learn a lot from that fight and be able to make the adjustments needed to nullify Baluta’s “bull coming forward” style.
The jab will be the key, keep him at bay and throw combinations and then step out of the zone.
Baluta has never heard of a jab , he leads with power hooks.
Great to watch and York Hall added to it because the atmosphere looked fantastic .
Hopefully they’ll get a purse increase in the rematch because that will have generated a lot more interest.
