Mike Mollo -Szpilka!

Just watched it

WOW what a fight. Respect and props to both these warriors. Wow.

Some thoughts

* That ref is a ****ing punk. Cussing at Mollo then taking a point for a damn pushdown with no prior warnings? Stopping action to tell them he will DQ them in such a slugfest as it was? That twat needs a reality check.

* Mollo came balls to the wall.... he was energetic, motivated and strong as hell this fight. Awesome effort from him.

* Artur has decent skills, he could be so much better if he perfects that good jab. I really think his jab is good, if he can improve it and make it his base of operations, he can do work on many opponents. I think this fight could have been a lot easier for him had he used it just a bit more

* Artur needs to work on his defense. Theres no reason to be getting hit with shots like he did against a fighter like Mollo. I know its much easier said then done when youve got a rampaging Mollo after you, but still.... to become elite, it must be done.



I like Artur and will be hoping he can do some things in the division. I think it will be a hard road though... While I think he has some solid skills, and a good feel for the ring, he lacks many things that could keep him from ever winning a title. He will need to improve greatly, and if he stays dedicated, stays smart, and stays motivated, he could do that. I am excited to see where he goes from here. Cant wait.


Szpilka vs Adamek.... they should really make this fight, imo. Would be pretty awesome.

 

Why should Szpilka be banned from boxing? :huh

 

Didnt he say he wanted Wilder?

Plllllleeeeease make that fight....

Szpilka vs Adamek or Wilder, would be great great fights.

 

Ok, well as long as anyone calling for lifetime ban for a freakin' brawl holds the same standards to the likes of Morales, Mab, Lennox, Tyson, Ali, Frazier, ect.

Just kinda a dumb policy to have.

 

* Yup, watching some more and Artur will not get much farther with this defense if he doesnt correct it. This needs to become his focus. He has very good offensive skills and good feel for the movement of the ring. But his defense needs a lot of work.

* The look on his face during the knockdown and the way he was trying to milk the ref trying to get more points in his favor, can hint towards a weak mentality. However, at the same time, a very intelligent fighter will do that too. And also that look on his face for the knockdown can be used to fuel him, its not always a bad sign. So I am by no means ready to say he is a weak minded fighter. You dont go through a battle like that and pull it off the way he did if your mentally weak, imo. However I do see the signs that could point in that direction. But they could also be to other things as well. (Example : Hopkins will do anything and everything to get extra points off or any edge, hes not mentally weak in the slightest, hes just super smart)

but anyways.... cant wait for his next fight. I really hope he improves that D though.
