The fight started off with a bang when Balski clipped Babic and sent him down. Babic would rally like a savage as the rounds played out, with Balski standing his ground to fight in very wild exchanges.

At the end of the ninth round, Balski lost a point after he clipped Babic with a hook after the bell. The punch badly hurt Babic and had him momentarily out on his feet. Babic was still hurt in the tenth, managed to regain his wits after a few minutes and brawled with Balski to the final bell.
