Artur Szpilka vs. Łukasz Różański & Mateusz Masternak vs. Adam Balski RBR

The former, at least for the moment.

 

Mateusz is now willing himself to power in the sixth...morphing into MADsternak. Just hurling rights at Balski the way his tormentor did to him in the previous two rounds. A macho display, maybe not a smart one. For now he does have Balski on the backfoot...whether taking a strategic breather, hurt, or gassed remains to be seen...

 

Final minute of the sixth they're just leaning against each other, draping one arm while butterfly-netting with the other. Neither capable of aught but molasses-laden arm-punches. Balski got the best of the late going but maybe not enough to counteract Masternak's early aggressive surge.

4-2 MM

Amazing nobody has been down.

 

These dudes both SERIOUSLY want the IBF'S vacant intercontinental strap at cruiser...

 

Masternak's left eye and the flesh around it has all been turned into ...well, a pornstar's vulva the day after shooting a Guinness record setting gangbang scene. Just all purple and... ugh.

 

KBN15. (on PPV in Poland)

 

Balski courageously taking initiative, selling out with double jabs and long outfield-to-home-plate right hands chasing Masternak into the ropes...eating some counters en route but standing up to everything well.

10-9 Balski

4-3 in rounds, Masternak holding onto a narrow lead.

 

Balski just came the closest anyone has been all day (or at least in several rounds) to scoring a knockdown, big uppercut had Masternak looking like a Pez dispenser or a defeated Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot with its neck stretched up. Huge round for Adam. Masternak is blasted knackered.

Tied four apiece on my card now.

 

This here is men's business.

 

Mateusz needs r10 just to salvage a draw on my card. He's exhausted, can do little but jab 'n' grab.

 

Has to be a top contender for, if not THE domestic FOTY in Poland.
