How to get a title shot. By Andrzej Wawrzyk 1) Getting destroyed in 3 rounds by Povetkin 2) Beat 40 y.o. Danny Williams who was 1-10 in last fights and coming off a loss to 8-45-6 guy 3) Beat 45 y.o. Frans Botha, who was 0-5 in last fights, struggle badly in the process 4) Beat great Patryk Kowoll (3-14) 5) Beat 40 y.o. Mike Sheppard, a guy who was destroyed in 1 round by Joey Abell, Vinny Maddalone and Jeremy Bates 6) Beat Polish jorneyman Martin Rekowski who was already beaten by 50 y.o. McCall and KO'd by Nagy Aguilera 7) Beat completely shot Albert Sosnovski, who has already got brutally KO'd by jorneymen Martin Rekowski and Martin Rogan. Struggle with him, lose some rounds 8) Get title shot And I'm not offending Wilder at all. I said the same when Wawrzyk faced Povetkin. That the guy was almost KO'd by punching bag with a record 1-11 (0 KO), that he was knocked down by cruiserweight jorneyman Harvey Jolley, that he was dropped, did famous chicken dance and almost got KO'd by shot jorneyman Dennis Bakhtov. The guy is just weak for HW. Never ever close to top-20. Average skills, no power at world level and David Price-like chin
Bahtov was not shot when he wobbled Wawrzyk. But still.....yeah, he needs to be at least a CURRENT fringe level contender for a major title shot. I say, make him fight Scott.....Wawrzyk just might have the handspeed to beat Scott to the punch, and if he can get a stoppage, he could make Ortiz look sluggish.
