I had 115-112 for Jackiewicz, first three rounds clearly for Jackiewicz, fourth for Rodriguez, he landed couple of few punches on Jackiewicz head, then fifth for Jackiewicz, and this damn sixth round. After that very very close rounds, but Jackiewicz had more clear punches. No doubt, win for Jackiewicz.
Sosnowski was still young when he lost to Cook anyways..and real green. he had no amatuer experience either....
It was his 20th fight. Not exactly green. Kielsa demolished Cook in his 9th pro fight. But yeah, the amatuer experience does make a difference. Sosnowski has 5 years at the most to make something out of his career. Beating Williams was a good first step.
I had it 116-111 watching front row. Rodriguez beside 6th round barely landed any punches. He was outlanded by wide margin. Masterpiece by Rafal. It was one sided fight, I'm proud.
Polish fighters have a big heart to fight. I mean Adamek who fought almost whole Briggs fight with broken nose and now Jackiewicz who survived that terrible knock down. As I said before 95% of boxers would quit after such powerful clean shot on the chin.
Not to mention the Dawson fight, when Adamek didnt quit and whats more he managed to konck down Dawson and win 2 or 3 rounds in the ending.
I was at the ringside. First of all, quite good event and fantastic atmosphere during Jackiewicz and Wlodarczyk fights. Great performance by Jackiewicz. Until 6th round it was the best fight he ever fought. Since that round it looked a little bit worse but Rafal showed a lot of heart. He deserved to win. He was a better boxer. I had him ahead by a couple points. Good defense, much more clean punches. He will be a world champion- no doubt about it. Hlasthwayo/Zaveck- neither will beat Jackiewicz.
I agree...... Estrada was hyped during the olympics and I believe he was one of the favorites for gold. He's an excellent boxer, but has little power behind his punches, he fough a good losing battle against Povetkin. I think this would be a nice safe fight for Adamek before Arreola\Chagaev\ Peter.
Yep, at this point Estrada is better then today's Rahman BUT I would still prefer Adamek face someone with a higher profile like Boytsov, Dimitrenko, Thompson or even Povetkin to really test out his potential and give him more cred. at HW. I guess HBO is licking its chops at the prospect of Haye-Adamek in Chicago or GB and prefers that Adamek take a safer route in January. Barring an Adamek loss in Jan, I think a fight with Haye or Wlad is inevitable. Can Adamek become the next Holyfield?
yup, it seemed like he lost a lot of close decisions earlier in his career, and now he's cruising on an impressive winning streak
Some interesting fights on the horizon. Directly from boxrec. Dawid Kostecki 31(21)-1(1)-0 V Andre Thysse 20(12)-8(2)-0 Andre is a seasoned veteran, his losses are all to top notch fighters Pawel Kolodziej 23(12)-0(0)-0 V Rob Calloway 70(57)-10(5)-2 nice step up for Pawel, Rob will serve as a great resume builder Andrzej Wawrzyk 15(10)-0(0)-0 V Alex Mazikin 13(3)-3(1)-1 Alex is no slouch, this should be a good gauge of where Ansrzej is at Mateusz Masternak 15(10)-0(0)-0 V Jameson Bostic 18(10)-3(0)-0 not familiar with Bostic, although he is on a 16 fight winning streak Krzysztof Cieslak 14(5)-0(0)-0 V Krzysztof Szot 8(1)-0(0)-0 nice eliminator, someone O has got to go
I think it will be a good test to see if Pawel is ready for the next level. If he wins in dominant fashion it will put him on a larger stage.
