was in poland on vacation couple of months ago and heard a lot of talk about this exciting new HW Szpilka. first of all mofo looks like a young white george foreman,has his crab defence style as well. pretty big dude almost 6 foot 4 about 235,but here is the graet news:dude is fast and a southpaw!!! heres a clip of him making Owen Beck quit on his stool.grant it Beck is no elite but a nice test for benchmark. the kid has skills and apparently a mean streak ,just did a two year jail stint for soccer hooliganism. kid has a beautiful short quick left hook and over all seems fundamentally sound,i dare say he beats Adamek from what i have seen in about four fights (especially after the vitali beatdown tomek got) what do u guys think?

Gotta' admit, this guy looks promising. Like most prospects, he has holes in his defense, but that can be fixed with good training and some quality opponents. He has great balance, power, and the all-important aggression. Still, he kind of reminds me of Chisora. (Soon to be a stepping-stone opponent for the truly great Heavyweight fighters.) I don't see "giant killer" one-punch power, like Vitali or Wilder. OK, Ali didn't have it either, but it sure doesn't hurt. Only 22 y-o (looks a lot older) so who knows what's in store? Please don't tell me he's signed to Universum, 'cause that would be the end of the discussion. I can see this guy soon joining the elite group of prospects, with Glazkov, Wilder, Mitchell & Boytsov. Should be fun to watch.
We been talking about Artur for a bit on this forum so far. His looks promising, but nothing is ever for sure. I think if his brought up right, he can be a threat to Wladamir.
he was with King but split after he realized how evil he was lol...by the way this was only his seventh pro fight and made Beck quit,i think thats impressive.
i think a clash with arreola-esque level fighters would be a good start,that would be a hell of a fight.only question i have is the kids chin,hasnt been tested yet
