    Another Calculated Mismatch which is what you get 98 percent of the time from Haymon.

    Szpilka is hot garbage he goes down with the first clean punch landed on him. He's completely worthless, Duhaupas and Molina would beat his ass.

    In all fairness, I would say that technically IMO he is the most skilled boxer since Malik Scott...but...it's entirely obvious that his bodyframe is of a cruiserweight, cannot take a hard shot, and will fall after being hit clean.

    It's a credit to Shields and Szpilka to recognize this and overhaul his style since these knockdowns and loss. I just highly doubt that it will make very much of a difference.

    Like you said, a top 25 heavyweight, at best.

    Szplka is total glass. And he doesn't even have power or skills to compensate that!

    That KD by Saulsberry is borderline questionable and was not ruled as such. The Ko by Jennings is legit but please consider the crazy circumstances sorrounding that fight, as it was totally in limbo till the last few days, Szpilka wasn't allowed to enter US initially and spend the crucial last few days before the fight going back and forth between the US and Poland, and that will give you major jetlag. Against Mollo he thrilled us all and gave a hell of a fight both times. Lastly, Szpilka's overall comp level is better than Wilder's :hi:

    How is it a fraud fight when Szpilka's resume comp is totally comparable if not better than the champs? Aside from Stiverne, whose claim to fame was beating Arreola, who has he fought that was better?

    First one was probably a legit knockdown because a punch landed and a guy held up by the ropes. Barely.

    That said, Szpilka will be punching back tonight. That probably means he'll sleeping sooner than Duhaupas and Molina.

    and he'll likely get knocked down by that other bum he's fighting tonight.

    So Duhaupas wasn't fighting back you say? Guess Deontay's eye just shut itself spontaneously for no reason at all.

    Are you talking about the same Iggy who managed to draw with the comically inept Ray Austin? The same Iggy who's best wins are a shot Holyfield and a shot semi-retired Briggs? The same Iggy who stunk out the arena in his fight with Klitschko? I have no idea why this guy receives so much praise.

    What was amazing was that Szpilka didn't get called for 2 knock downs against Saulsberry to be honest. The KO by Jennings was definitely legit, and brutal. Going life and death with Mollo is not something to be proud of. That said, he had moderately improved his defense since working under the tutelage of Shields. It won't matter though, considering he's just like Molina, a bloated/weight lifted cruiserweight masquerading as a heavyweight. If he beats Wilder I'll fall on the floor laughing my **** off.

    Szpilka's chin is average.

    Not glass, but not great either.

    That is why he was selected to face Wilder.


    But to Szpilka's credit, he has heart and some power.
