Dear Friends, to the best of my understanding this Dale Martin match which was billed for the British Heavyweight title was NOT conducted under the Lord Mount Evans Rules of professional wrestling, hence cannot be considered as title change. By the way after this match Baldwin still had his Lord Mount Evans silver championship belt and yes he still was the reigning British heavyweight champion according to the Lord Mount Evans Rules. Thanks.
In reply to Mark and Ruslan, and anyone else interested .
