    Spzilka Mitchell would be a very interesting fight. Mitchell would probably win, but you never know with his chin.

    Did you just use the phrase "good defense" and Lamon Brewster in the same sentence? On a different note I would say Jennings is probably the best American heavyweight at the moment and would love to see him in the ring with a few contenders before a possible title shot.

    I think he could become a really good thinking fighter. I hope he gets left alone for a bit. I fear he won't get the time though.

    Brewster used a lot of head movement; short rhythm, side-to-side mainly. It's just him fighting an opponent with great timing and accuracy makes it appear that Brewster had no defense.

    Fight went pretty much as I expected, unfortunately. I like artur, but he looks to have hit his cieling. He's young tho so hopefully he can improve yet. That doesn't always happen tho. But a lot of his flaws are fixed rather easy.

    the fight played out exactly the way I predicted, which was that jennings would be too mobile, fit, determined and strong for szpilka, and that jennings was no mike mollo, a tough fighter in his own right but a guy several levels below jennings. jennings showed the ability to fight inside, out, and most importantly, he came focused and to do damage on the biggest stage he has ever stood upon. he's my pick for the best american heavyweight at the moment. i'd like to see him fight chris arreola after another fight or two.

    I also wouldnt mind seeing artur szpilka again. are you telling me szpilka-mansour doesn't spell war?

    Credit to Jennings. He is much better with the time given than i ever thought.

    Plenty of time for Szpilka to right his wrongs. He was moving and doing well through 5 but looked to have gassed. Too much wasted energy on moving around without throwing enough.

    Although it didnt go the way i wanted i knew that Szpilka will have a career of big wins along with big losses. His fights will be exciting both in victory and defeat.

    Lots of good fights for both guys right now though.


    Jennings or Artur would make good fights against Seth, and though Wilders team would never allow it, them vs Wilder would be nice. I think a Kevin Johnson would also be a good fight, as its relatively 'safe', and would give them some rounds and a 'name'.


    I look forward to both guys next moves.

    The Pole gets beat every time out against any top level heavy who can box.Artur is a one trick pony.

    Brewster doesn't have bad defense. If anything his stamina became his worst attribute. and I said, good not GREAT...and this pertained to all 3 fighters that I mentioned.

    I think that sums it up pretty well. Szpilka has a decent straight left but he is physically and mentally weak. Did he have chance? Yeah, maybe a slugger's chance but he really is not much of a fighter. Jennings is very mediocre, as well. Neither one has much of a future in boxing. Szpilka is only hyped because there is a large Polish contingency in the US.
