he got actually good footwork...its his jab and lack of combos is the problem
he rely too much on trying KO opponents with one blow...he rarely uses jab,and his jab its ****
good fight,can be interesting

 

I agree his footwork is good and he's one of the most mobile HW's there is. He does have good combo's and has been using them more recently rather than headhunting except for the Mccline fight, he didnt use them as much as he should have in that fight. His jab isn't much but he doesn't really need it, his southpaw stance makes it harder for opponents to land theirs, he counters opponent jabs with right hooks and uses his counter punching and speed to close distance rather than work his way in with the jab.

 

Anyone Chicago area ESB'ers going to this event?

 

I know the card is on, but is this fight even still happening? Spzilka-Zimnoch is definitely on for less than a month later. I'd be surprised if Spzilka is willing to risk an injury when he has a bigger money fight lined up just a few weeks later.

 

He signed to fight Mollo then when the Golota card came along with the possibility to fight Zimnoch he took that too. It's Mollo than Zimnoch 3 weeks later, thats been the plan since the Zimnoch fight was signed quite a while ago.

Mollo will be his first fight back since the broken jaw and ankle injury he probably views this as a warm up.

 

Was I squinting too hard or did someone call Mollo a "beast" in this thread? :blood
