Oliver "Atomic Bull" McCall vs. Krzysztof Zimnoch/ Elijah McCall vs. Marcin Rekowski

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by iWantToLearnEng, May 18, 2013.


  1. Not suprised about anything since I saw Huck vs. Arslan :lol:

    What about Elijah?? Did he fight already?? Is there a afterfight? I thought McCall vs. Zimnoch was the main event.

    close fight. And we all know close fights always go to the home fighter. Zimnoch wont make any noise in this division.

    The fact that it was even a close fight against a guy who is nearly 50 says it all.

    The guy is going nowhere

    How about Szpilka going life and death and getting his jaw broken by a shot to **** McCline?



    Zimnoch has decent basics but nothing more, he ain't a world beater but I wouldn't write him completely off against the unproven thug.
     
  5. McCline would knock Zimnoch out.

    all this shows is how Polish fighters are promoted and managed

    Wasilewski or Babilonski pay shot to **** guys like McCall, McCline, RJJ or Richard Hall to come to Poland, make some money, and what do our boxers get out of it? then, when it's time to step up, they can't do **** against the top guys

    for me, the way fighters are managed in Poland is what's killing our prospects, they pad their records to the full extent, then when it's time to step up, they get an Andrzej Wawrzyk-type wake-up call
     
  10. McCline was sparringpartner of Wladimir before the Wach fight and knocked Abdusalamov in round 1 down.

    true

    but I hoped that he would go out on his shield and try to do something, not let Povetkin KO him while still in 2nd gear

    Zimnoch fought earlier bums. Now he fought someone two/three levels better. Good experience fight for him.
     
  13. His last fight before McCall wasn't even against a bum, it was a few levels below the bum status. That guy was knocked out against Niko Falin in Biggers Better .. a Thai Boxer in his boxing debut from my city, who started with Thai Boxing 5 years ago and never did boxing before.

    I knew Zimnoch will not impress against McCall, definetly too high step up.

    ok, fine, McCline was a good test

    but bringing in the corpse of RJJ to fight Glazewski?

    or a washed up Richard Hall for Kolodziej?

    they get nothing out of these kind of fights, all the guys who come to Poland care about his their paycheck, and our prospects don't benifit at all from these kinds of match-ups
     
  15. Szpilka fiought good opponents compared to other prospects.
