Even though he's a slow, pudgy little mini-fridge? I honestly don't see him even connecting on Pin very cleanly until maybe about midway, if Szpilka elects to get on his toes and box (which is something he can do). After those evasive tactics begin tiring him out, though...
Oh well, would've been interesting to see how these two panned out, their records are both quite impressive and even looking on paper.
Szpilka looked absolutely shot to bits in his last fight. Against a journeyman with no power. If he beats Rozanski in his home town i'd be shocked.
Yeah Szpilka is done. I did like him too, a slick mover who would have been far higher up in the HW ladder had he not rivalled David Price for worst chin in the Division.
absolutey. skill-wise he's 3 levels above rozanski. but he was also 5 levels above the guy he fought last and he was dropped how often? 3 times? 2 times? and got a robbery decision. He's absolutely done. I think he'll retire after todays loss.
I'm surprised at the level of confidence I see in Rozanski winning this. I don't have any reason to say he won't. I just don't consider him a shoo-in to join a club composed exclusively of Chisora, Wilder, Kownacki, and Jennings.
It's more to do with Szpilka's non existant chin than anything else. Would like to see Szpilka get up having said that. I've always thought that he was a decent boxer.
This is where the forum makes me laugh. Wilder is lauded as terrible and a rubbish boxer, yet Szpilka is lauded as a slick boxer, yet he was still losing to Wilder before he got knocked spark out in their encounter. How could that be? How could Wilder be ahead if he's such a terrible boxer and Szpilka is a good boxer?
Rozanski has already beaten Izuagbe Ugonoh, who was the greatest Polish heavyweight potential after Golota, and he made it look easy. Izu could have been the first Polish HW champ in history if he had taken the sport more serious. Szpilka will have no chance!
I've always rated Wilder myself. I only have Fury ahead of him in the division with the only other person to trouble him stylistically being Usyk.
Because you have nothing else to do than talking about Wilder in a Szpilka vs. Rozanski topic? Grow up little Wilder fan and get over it. Wilder got ragdolled against Fury and he just doesn't belong to the elite. Seriously....what's the thing with Wilder here? Watch the fight clown and you see why Wilder was ahead. His power was the equalizer and he touched Szpilka a couple of times and Szpilka was more or less running for his life because he knew as soon as Wilder connects clean it's over. He wasn't there to win, he was there to survive after he tasted Wilders power early on. Asking stupid questions is obviously a job of yours. I have another one: Why did Wilder need 9 rounds to stop a glass jawed Szpilka while Chisora and Kownacki needed 6 rounds combined?
