But balrog has no formal training he was a crappy boxer that had a strong punch that's it and that's also the reason he was banned from professional boxing he constantly broke the rules.
Originally posted by Blue nocturneThat just means he could be too rowdy, etc. I know better fighters who fight on the street because of excessive violence, which is the category that Balrog falls in.
But balrog is a crappy boxer he cannot box that good that's why he was banned from the ring because he could not follow the rules of boxing.

random facts ( off topic)
Alex facts
According to a gamefan strategy guide, Alex was born in the USA and
resides in New York. His parents died when he was a child, and he
turned to Tom. Well, it's likely true since his father is stated to be
dead and Tom was 'like a father' to Alex.
Tom is a good friend of Alex's late father, and like a father to Alex.
Tom is the one that trained Alex and taught Alex everything he knows, and
Alex attends his gym. Patricia is Tom's daughter and Alex cares deeply
for both as family to him.
Alex idolized Tom as a boy. His goal was to be as strong as Tom.
Alex believed that nobody was stronger than Tom and was shocked when
he learned that Gill defeated him with ease.
The gym Tom manages is located on a military base in NY.
Alex lives with Tom and Patricia
Patricia's 14 years old and has a crush on Alex
Patricia's nickname is Pat. Patricia calls Alex "Alec".
Alex's father was in the military, which is why Alex himself is quite
militaristic. Tom is a war veteran, too
There seems to be something special about Alex that Gill can sense in
him. See Gill's bio for more info. I heard also that this is because Alex
was also one of the candidates for rising up to become the next Messiah,
but I'd be really surprised now, since there's no evidence and I imagine
Alex would have remembered something as big as that. In the American
version of SF3, Urien indicated that he knew Tom but that was a
mistranslation by Capcom USA. In the Japanese version, he actually says "I
have no memory of what you speak of!" when asked about it.
His SF3 nickname is "The Young Blood".
Dudley
He's a bit small for a heavyweight boxer, but of course he makes up for
it with speed and skill.
From an article in the an SF "Secret File". Dudley's the WBAF king.
He's had 31 bouts, all KO's. He's defended his title 7 times. His trainer
is Tomochi Highhill (Highheel?). His American peer is is Mike Stowan,
and I think his nickname is the Mysterious Scarlet Footprint. Local word
in Scotland Yard says his favorite car is missing.
Dudley’s undefeated in the professional boxing community. He has recently
mysteriously disappeared from the boxing community. Before he left, he said
something like “Please prepare tea! I’m going out for a while”. The article
also mentions how a helicopter (they’re probably referring to the one that
appears in one of Dudley’s win poses) and a classic green car have been
spotted in several places all over the world. This odd spectacle usually
surprises people/the spectators and it caused fear among some people in the
United States. People aren’t sure if these incidents have anything to do w/
Dudley’s sudden dissapearance.
Hugo
Poison and Hugo fight and bicker a lot, but they still get along really
well. I don't know if Hugo realizes that Poison is a guy, but I don't
think he'd really care either way since they're just good friends and Hugo
doesn't seem like the type that would look for a love interest.
It states in his history that he left home at the young age (Probably
16), a home consisting of him and his mother, Father and his Two Sisters.
He was Firstborn, First Son too. So that means he had no brothers (Then).
And he left home and went straight to Pro-Wrestling. And lost his partner
through some scheme of his rival's. As he was 'First Son', it is possible
that he had a younger brother after he was born.
Hugo lost his tag partner because of some false
rumors spread by a rival wrestler. The tag-team tournament is in 3 months,
so he enters the SF3 tournament in search of a new partner. All that stuff
Tiamat said about running away from/leaving home is true. I have just a few
things to add. According to the Red Cyclone, Hugo IS Andore, not Andore Jr.
He grew up on a farm in Germany, which consisted of him, his mother, father,
younger brother (Andore Jr.), and his 2 sisters. He left home to vist
America at 20 years old and eventually wound up in Metro City where he
joined the Mad Gear Gang. He hasn't returned home once since he left. He's
the Andore in the pink outfit in FF1.
Andore Jr. grew up acting as a sparring partner for his pro wrestler
older brother, giving him a good repertoire of wrestling moves. He's
still in training in hopes of one day surpassing his brother."
he ran away to America when he was 20.
After reigning victorious in the CWA
tag-team tournament, Hugo is avoided by the other wrestlers because of
his amazing strength. Several days go by, and Poison can’t find anyone
within the CWA who will wrestle Hugo, so he/she suggests that he/she
and Hugo start their own professional wrestling organization. They want
to ditch these weaklings and find strong opponents. Thus, Hugo and Poison
begin traveling the world and searching for new talent in order to start
their new business, the "Hyuji Wrestling Army". [Official SF3TS Bio]
URIEN
Urien has an inferiority complex to his brother, Gill, and is very
jealous of Gill. Gill seems to be naturally more powerful and Gill was
chosen to be the savior and Emperor, leaving Urien in the dust.
His nickname is the "Apostle of Treason," or the "Apostle of
Rebellion".
The Aegis Reflector is one of the 66 secret techniques of the
Mysterious Organization.
While his brother Gill's elements are fire and ice, Urien's elements
appear to be wind/lightning and earth, judging by how he makes iron
clanking sounds when hit and his many special moves.
Urien is the main man behind the G-project that produced Twelve and
Necro. Well, Gill was probably the one behind Necro, but Urien is
definately the one that used the project to make Twelve and co (The Necros
in Urien's Second Impact ending were probably meant to represent Twelve and
co, but Capcom didn't make a final design for what Twelve would look like
back then.
Why did Urien kidnap that girl that Chun-Li had to rescue? My best
guess is that he wanted more subjects for the G-Project. That's the only
reason I can think of.
Urien thinks that the brains the Illuminati has collected over time are
ugly, stupid, and useless because they don't do anything. Well, got that
from his Third Strike ending.
Urien's clanking noises come from his ability to turn his flesh hard as
iron. I think it's mentioned in one of his matches in one of the games,
and it also accounts for the transformation opening animation and his
variety of metallic colors.
Eternal states his power is equal to that of Gill's.
Urien does NOT know Alex's mentor, Tom, apparently. Lousy Capcom of
America mistranslated his dialogue with Alex to hint that he did, but in
reality, the Japanese version says that he can not recall such a name,
basically.
He's blinded by jealousy, This
is why despite having power equal to Gill, he likely is weaker in actual
practice (less focused).

do you have evidence to prove this claim?
Balrog has no formal training he developed his strong punch by constantly getting into street fights as a kid he was to poor to afford a trainer so he ended creating his own boxing style called the "Brawling Law" It has no footwork he just uses his superhuman strength and stamina with brute force to win he has no technique that's why he was banned from the ring he couldn't follow the rules because of his lack of formal training, Cody on the other hand is a 2nd degree black belt that has been training in karate since the age of nine he can take a hit has great experience and most importantly has great formal training Cody wins this bout.
You've said it.. balrog has superhuman strength and stamina... he obviously has some technique if he's defeated alot of people to become famous
... and you dont think cody has been street fighting?.. what the hell do you do throughout every final fight?... go to a dojo? lol.. you bust lips in the street from beginning to end
balrog took a punch from ryu in that one HK comic and brushed it off.. I dont think he's such an easy pushover...
buuut... if we were talking strictly game engine.. balrog is a horrible character

Of course Cody street fights I mean he went to jail for fighting so much but balrog is a crappy fighter he just uses brute strength and he isn't really that famous only because he dominates the "Vale Tudo"
well you have to give him some credit... considering what Vale Tudo is
The term Vale Tudo is Portuguese and is translated as "anything goes". It labels competitions with very few rules and limits. Vale Tudo originated from Brazil were competitions have been held for many decades. The Vale Tudo concept got the worlds attention when UFC (the Ultimate Fighting Championship) took place for the first time in USA 1993. Since then Vale Tudo has spread rapidly across the globe.
if he can defeat an 'anything goes' match.. he's got some aces up his sleeves.. (if he has a shirt on 😛 )

well thats where everyone is misinformed.. the original poster isnt very clear on what "A boxing match" is... that can just mean "inside a boxing ring".. or "just fists.." and so forth
Boxing match is only fist no below the belt,since he just posted "Boxing match" and even if it is no holds barred cody wins.
