    Good post.

    I've never rated Szpilka, but he'd definitely got loads of heart and Ive given him props for that since his fight with McCline.
    :good

    Szpilka is a glass jawed bum, wilder might be number one hw in the weakest era of all time.

    He gallantly tried to become the first Polish Heavyweight Champion, but most people forget he showed some good skills.

    Szpilka really has a better chance beating Tyson Fury much more than hopeless Wlad, Fury will always struggle with a guy like Szpilka :think

    He's a d-level fighter who gave it his all. He'll never fight for another title again.

    That he was made to look better than he is shows how basic Wilder really is. Anyone ever seen Wlad lose his balance like Wilder when he throws a punch? Joshua? Povetkin?

    If he D Level, then Wlad if E level for get KTFO 3 times by guys below Szpilka level. However, luckily for everyone the world is not ran by peasants & Szpilka will have another title shot all he has to do is comeback with some wins, promoters like guys like Artur Szpilka he sells big in Brooklyn or Chicago :smoke

    Jennings leftovers. Jennings looked much better dismantling Szpilka than the uncoordinated wilder last night.

    and sthat ssaying something because Jennings wasn't worth a title shot either!

    the leftover of leftovers.

    Basically a Manuel Charr. Well maybe not quite that bad, but getting there.

    No Radar can figure out The Hyper-Sonic Bronze Bomber striking Pattern, it wasn't meant to be coordinated. You just wait for the death you can't avoid :smoke

    He is not here to coordinate or to make friends, he is here to impose a new Totalitarian Tyranny upon primitive slower Heavyweights
     
  9. Szpilka has greatly improved under Shields, I think he takes out most top 15 HWs. That's if the brutal KO last night doesn't change him for the worse. Hard for a fighter to come back from that

    This thread does not fit the narrative so should be deleted. No independent thought will be tolerated.

    He was fighting Wilder who had balance issues. I thought the flight was close to even before Wilder landed the bomb.

    But Szpkilla isn't a top ten opponent.

    Szpilka is a mediocre talent. You can't improve that greatly. He came him confident and he had some good head movement but he was wide open all night and has marginal power. Most top 15 heavyweights defeat him. In fact I would pick - Wlad, fury, Povetkin, Jennings again, Parker, Haye, Joshua, Pulev, wilder again, Chagaev, hell fres Oquendo could outbox him. I'd pick all these guys over Szpilka. And not only that Wilder until he landed KO punch looked bad. That was not a good performance.

    Didn't Wlad do a 360-degree turnaround on a missed punch vs. Fury, or am I misremembering?

    Haven't Fury and Wlad both hit themselves with uppercuts?

    Didn't Sasha completely embarrass himself with his approach against Wlad, coming in the same way over and over and sticking his head under Klitschko's underarm?

    Or should we study David Haye's mastery of the flop against Wlad to see a man of skill in action?

    Haven't studied Joshua. Wake me up when he fights someone.

    I wouldn't call Wilder's style awkward, he looks like he's trying to boxand fight tall but his footwork and technique won't allow him to do so. He desperatly needs a better trainer.
