Kownacki vs Ortiz

It's funny Miller is the same. Is it true they're friends?

 

Kownaki is a disaster waiting to happen. He throws the right hand no matter where his opponent is. How many times does he fall short with it?

The boys at the next level will take a half step back and drop a left hook over the top of that right. Land it on the temple and that fella is on noodle legs.

 

I'd agree there although Kownacki showed himself up as a B tier contender. He is nowhere near good enough.

 

True although his work rate and defence got sloppy in the second half of the fight, I'm just thinking at the next level it could be a factor.

 

Miller said they're friends since childhood. Just wonder if they have the same KFC/Subway/McDonalds diet programm (as well as Andy Ruiz), as both look obese and out of shape.

 

Ortiz would beat both Kownacki and Martin on the same night.

 

Maybe they share a conditioning coach. Miller amazes me with the volume he can throw without gassing.

 

It doesn't effect his stamina clearly as his work rate is relentless for a heavyweight. But it does effect is ability to get his shots off. He was faster off the mark vs Szplika, able to react and respond quicker to get his shots off, at the higher weight he's too much of a plodder, against an agile opponent he could look completely lost as he's unable to cut off the ring.

 

Yeah it's surprising how they can both set such a pace despite looking like a flight of stairs would have them sucking air lol.

Maybe it's because they are so relaxed in the ring, neither looks very tense in there.

 

Yeah his punch technique is far superior to Miller's I particularly like how straight and compact his right hand is, it's a nice shot.
