Ewą Brodnicką vs. Edith Soledad Matthysse & Robert Marek Parzęczewski vs. Patrick Mendy RBR

Think we have pros next.

 

Wth? There's randomly a second Polish card on (mixed pro/am) but not listed on BR?

 

Well, if Patryk Szymanski vs. Denis Krieger (scheduled for 8 rounds @ middleweight) just finished - as this long commercial break suggests - we are very close to seeing the co-main events, as that was third-billed.

 

There's almost no surer bet in boxing than the "Over" in a Patrick Mendy fight. The Tiger is 18-14-3, and the Gambian steel peashooter (opposite of a glass cannon ) has just one stoppage apiece in both his W & L columns...and curiously, both were 1st round blitzes (scoring one against Sam Horton, and suffering one at the hands of Callum Smith)

 

It's weird because I actually found the YT link on some random Facebook page (looking for live boxing streams on FB) - and the post contained "Hala Sportowa", the name of the venue for the Brodnicką/Parzęczewski card. I didn't bother translating it, just assumed it was the right one because there weren't any other Polish cards listed for today.

 

Marcin Siwy vs. Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko, 8 rounds @ heavyweight

 

Round 1

Dovbyshchenko is hustling to his left as Siwy double-jabs his way in and then lumps big pendulous body shots under the guard. Dovbyshchenko skates his backside along the ropes with jabbing and flurrying defensively. More body shots from Siwy, already seeming to bother Dovbyshchenko, who is doubling over with them and exhaling forcefully moments later while on the run. Siwy not particularly fast but heavy-handed and placing his shots well, tenderizing Dovbyshchenko's middle. Clubbing right between the eyes by Siwy as he catches Dovbyshchenko resting with his butt on the ropes. Dovbyshchenko briefly tries fending Siwy off with a 1-2, but is quickly overpowered and forced onto the backfoot. Siwy throws a jab away into the forearms and then bashes Dovbyshchenko across the face with a right.

10-9 Siwy

 

Round 2

Dovbyshchenko is now just getting slowly ground down against the ropes, Siwy incorporating double and even quadruple uppercuts into his arsenal, unchecked. Dovbyshchenko just surviving now, trotting away behind a pawing double jab until he is trapped on the ropes and then shelling up and withstanding. 1-1-2 by Siwy. Dovbyshchenko waves a lazy hook and gets countered with a slow but surely-aimed right hand. Slight trickle of blood from Dovbyshchenko's nose.

10-9 Siwy

20-18 Siwy

 

Three zip Siwy.

 

Dovbyshchenko coming on with repeated straight flurries into the brow as Siwy tires. Dovbyshchenko taking full advantage to be the ring general for once and continuously unload while he can. Not making a dent in Siwy, the Ukrainian nonetheless pelts away with both hands in succession, over & over.

10-9 Dovbyshchenko

39-37 Siwy

 

Slow motion slug-fest, the fifth. Dovbyshchenko edged it, 48-47 Siwy.
