World Championships day 2: Two Swedish fighters advances!

Alfred Olsson lost gruelling slug fest

Light heavyweight Alfred Olsson faced Dzevad Baltic from Serbia in a real slug fest.

In the first two gruelling rounds, Baltic pressured and took Olsson’s back to land heavy strikes. But as the minutes went by, the Serbian fighter looked more and more tired.

In the third round, Olsson found success with basic and effective boxing, working well with his jab, as a tired Baltic held his guard low, trying to counter.

After three tough rounds, Baltic stood as the winner via unanimous decision.
