On Saturday at Showtime in Brooklyn, Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KO) added another valuable victory to his record, breaking sixth rounds of Iago Kiladze's good balance. The Polish boxer, however, came to the ring with a considerable overweight, noting officially as much as 9 kilos more than he had before the July confrontation with Artur Szpilka. According to trainer Keith Trimble, the quick accumulation of unnecessary kilos by his ward is just a matter of lack of determination while keeping a diet.

- Adam is a worker, he is still in the training room, after the fight I give him only a week off and continue training - convinces the American coach in an interview with Hitfirstboxing.com, negating the necessity of employment by his ward dietitian. - Here the dietitian has nothing to do, Adam knows what to do, just in the period when he does not train, he must behave more professionally and watch out for food.

- Honestly, he weighed much more than 118 kilos a few months ago. And he threw a lot. This is a matter of the psyche, it must approach the issue of eating like a pro and that's it. You do not need any dietitian, why should he pay 20,000 dollars to someone? It is not so difficult. It's a mental issue. Adam is getting closer to the summit and he can not neglect these matters - Trimble assesses.

When asked about the defensive gaps that Kownacki posted on Saturday, Keith Trimble commentators on Showtime answered: "This is boxing and you can not avoid all blows, but you have to work on defense. After the combination of blows, Adam has to move his head more, he stays on his strokes. This is a mistake, we will work on eliminating it. However, he has been collecting more strokes before, so there is progress here, we're working on it.

Quoted as the twelfth position of WBC heavyweight ranking Adam Kownacki will probably return to the ring in spring. It is possible that he will fight for the first time in his career in Poland.

Hope to see Ruslan Myrsatayev getting active this year. He is a great talent and dedicated to his craft. He is signed to same promoter as Kanat Islam so he will likely will fight on Kanat's next undercard. He is signed to Ural promotions and has 4 more years until his contract runs out.

 

Big punching cruiserweight Alexey Papin back on 17 March against undefeated Vladimir Keles. This fight will take place at Mayweather's Academy in Russia.

 

His weight is changing from fight to fight but at least he doesn't have the same opinion as Miller who thinks that extra weight helps him.
