Mariusz Wach vs Kevin McBride & Szpilka vs Williams - Round by Round...

If anyone has any updates on McBride let us know. Sounds pretty bad..

 

Knowing the state of things in this division, all three feel they can get a title shot and will, therefore, likely avoid one another if they can. At least Wach now has a minor belt and will have to defended it against mandatories once in a while

 

Sad to hear about McBride and hope he's allright, but that's what happens when the only rounds your doing are at the bar and you take fights just for money

 

That's not true at all. Michael Grant almost had him out.

 

Wach now has 5 straight stoppages in a row. Something has changed.

 

That is not true at all either.

He stunned Adamek, and Adamek was concious enough to evade the following barrage that Grant had tried to follow up with, but missed because Adamek had it together enough to get out of the way. He won every round of that fight. His size is what limits him at HW, but his skill is what keeps him very competitive. I personally think he has no chance at KOing or TKOing Vitali, but do think he has a chance of out boxing him. Although how high those chances are I don't know..

 

Good point. Let him keep doing what he is doing. He shed a lot of weight, and looks much better now. Hopefully he progresses further.

 

That's debatable.

You don't almost have somebody out without a) putting them down b) utterly losing the next round immediately after.

If you know anything about Adamek he has a way of behaving when he's in trouble that appears uncoordinated and resembles a guy whos in bigger trouble than he is. I think thats Adamek trying to be evasive. I've never seen Adamek doing the chicken dance. Look at his legs under these situations. They are always sturdy.

 

I think he doesn't make the very best decissions in the ring and gets hit a tad too much. He needlessly got into little scrums upclose with McBride tonight when he was clearly dominating him in half distance. It could be costly versus a big, fast puncher. His footwork is also a bit plodding, but that's to be expected from such a mountain.

 

Yea, personally I still think he is too slow, and plodding to make it to the top unless he improves his movement and speed.. He would be overwhelmed by a fast accurate puncher who throws in combinations.. such as Adamek for example. That's how I feel now.. although I hope to be wrong, and hope he keeps improving. He still has room to improve and seems to be getting better with everyfight. But for me he is painfully slow. I won't however this time say anything about his power, it seems it has improved.


Any updates on McBride?

 

I read on the scene he raised his glove while getting carried out.

 

Boxinginsider reporting that McBride left ring in a stretcher. Not much else is known at this time.

 

Anyone know what Wach's reach is?

McBride's is listed at 80 inches, and Wach's arms look a lot longer to me.
