Anyone here intrested in this fight? Who wins now? Both come after losses, Szpilka has a score to settle with Bryant. Only fight that makes sense for both, Szpilka will bring many fans and it's a marketable fight. Has he improved enough under Shields that he can beat Jennings this time?
Jennings needs to fight someone like Rossy in his next fight to build up his confidence, but he still beats Szpilka.
Ah, but it would be more interesting from a fans' perspective if he did just skip tuning up and jump on into the (moderately) deep end again with a Pin rematch. I think a prepared & confident Jennings should be able to repeat despite taking big shots from big guys in back to back losses - but let's also remember that Szpilka was on a long gradual uptick of improvement that started even before they fought. Jennings' best case scenario would be to be "as good as" last time. Szpilka could well now be even better than he was then.
Yeah, It'd be very impressive if he just came back to fight another contender but he has been really stiffly matched in his last fight 5 fights and Szpilka might be improved now. I think he needs some relatively easy rounds to add new aspects to his game like learning to make use of his reach and speed advantages as well as building up confidence. The way he kept trying to get inside against Ortiz seemed severe lack of experience to me, especially he got badly hurt in the first round.
Think this time around would go a little differently...maybe not a win for Szpila, but definitely not a KO/TKO defeat
