- Inkin dethroned by Balzsay!!!! -

[JohnnyKickAss]

That was a pretty decent fight...I had Inkin winning the first half,but I can't say if it was Balzsay skill that turned it or the fact that Inkin started to run out of gas in the second half...Both are skilled boxers,but nothing special...I don't think that either could beat Kessler or even Bute,who are IMO the best two supermiddles right now...

I think Taylor and maybe Froch could beat Bute!

Yeah...they could,but Bute would go in as fav. ...

I've been following Balzsay for a couple of years. Been very impressed with him, albeit beating lower tier fighters.

I thought he might stop Inkin. Good win (i haven't seen it) anyway.

Is this the Bute who has sent an offer to Jesse Brinkley for an IBF title shot ?

The guy who got his referee friend to save his life against Andrade ?

Bute is the most overated champion in the division. I cant forsee him ever facing someone like Froch or Kessler who would tap that chin.

Bazlsay will sit in Germany protecting his bauble for eternity now.

I figured Balzsay would win after I watched the Inkin-vs-Zuniga match. From the few rounds I saw, Inkin has the same style as Zuniga except he's more technically sound. I had a feeling with that style he'd have problems with a southpaw like Balzsay.

No its the same Lucian Bute who is the only man to stop Kabary Salem, who knocked down Joe Calzaghe very heavily and gave him 12 awkward rounds. Lucian Bute also beat Sakio Bika more convincingly than any other fighter Sakio Bika has fought including Joe Calzaghe.

He also thrashed Lolenga Mock a fighter who had David Haye in quite alot of trouble, and also knocked David Haye down. You haven't got a clue about Lucian Bute, his opposition has been pretty decent, and he totally outboxed Librado Andrade.

Except he got careless in the last round and decided to trade, which he almost payed for but didn't. The time in the round was over when Lucian Bute got up, Lucian Bute also beat the count. He responded to the ref's instructions. So no rules were broken there what so ever.

Librado Andrade did leave the neutral corner slightly, yes it was extreme of the ref telling Librado Andrade to go right back in the neutral corner. But Librado Andrade did make a mistake there, whether i agree with it or not.

None of the rules were broken the only rule which was taken advantage of. Was making sure Librado Andrade was in the neutral corner, but other than that Lucian Bute deserved the win he outboxed Librado Andrade all night, and he got up like a true champion.

what a shame, I was looking forward to my man to knocking out Inkin. If Inkin can get a few names on his record you never know he could get another shot at 168 title. The weight class is really entertaining and ill have to check Balzsay out

You clearly did not see Bute´s eyes and he could barely stand on his legs , no way was he able to continue, and he got all the help he ever could ask for.

Rewatched it...and Inkin ran out of gas IMO thats what lost him the fight...

BTW a little side-info...Balzsay is only the third Hungarian world champ...
