Let me know when the Masternak link comes out.

 

I noticed the same thing. When attacked, and pressured, Masternak doesnt know what to do, and seems lost in the ring. He is fine when he is in control, but when his opponent turns up the heat on him it seems he doesnt know how to respond properly. A big issue that needs to be addressed. Good to see not only I noticed it. lol

 

oh boy......Vitali Klitchko is fighting Sosnowski May 29th.

It'll be a nice payday but it won't be pretty for Albert.

 

Go ALBERT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

One to watch…Grzegorz Proksa
By Neil Dempsey: The undercard of the recent Lenny Daws vs. Jason Cook draw saw the return to the ring of the young Polish middleweight Grzegorz Proksa, Proksa going up against Tyan Booth for the vacant EBU-EU Middleweight title.

Proksa struggled early on with Booth’s jab, height and reach. He was rocked by a right hand over the top which caught him on the temple in the 2nd, but he showed great resolve and soon enough his superior work rate and movement started to pay dividends.. He was readily catching Booth to the body and coming in throwing strong combinations. Proksa’s punch output was just too much for Booth and having dropped him in the 5th the referee called a halt to the action giving Proksa the title.

When Proksa comes over from his homeland he trains in the same Redhill gym as fellow countrymen and current European Heavyweight Champion Albert Sosnowski under the tutelage of Ian “Jumbo” Johnson. In what is becoming a feature of Johnson’s fighters Proksa has fantastic cardio and a great punch output but there is more to this young Polish star than his cardio. Proksa has now stopped his last 5 opponents and the power is really starting to show.

In direct contrast to Sosnowski, Proksa is an amateur and junior star having had 130 amateur bouts winning 117 and losing just 10. He also fought at international level before moving into the paid ranks. He held both the IBF and WBC youth titles following an inside the distance stoppage win against Kenneth Van Eesvelde in March of 2006.

Having fought predominantly in the UK Proksa is unusual in that he hasn’t had any pro fights in his native Poland. He has fought in the US, Germany and Ireland and similar to Sosnowski is building up a big Polish following in London.

Nicknamed Super G, a moniker given to him by none other than legendary ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Junior, Proksa will now no doubt look to make waves on the European scene potentially looking to step up to fight current European king Matthew Macklin. However being a young, unbeaten, hungry Eastern European who can punch could mean that Macklin may look elsewhere for a big payday potentially against fellow Irishmen, New York based John Duddy that would certainly generate a lot of interest in the Irish communities in the US.

Having spoken to Proksa’s trainer Johnson, the plan will probably take them down to light middle as according to Johnson, they see this as his natural fighting category and have targeted Ryan Rhodes as a potential future opponent. Fights at light middle in the UK have been difficult to come by for Proksa so in order to keep busy he has been taking fights at middle,beating and stopping fighters at the higher weight. Anyone who has seen his last couple of fights at will acknowledge that he is not a natural middleweight and he struggles early on with the taller, rangier fighters at this weight, that is, until he gets his rhythm and punch output going and he steps in and stops them regardless.

Belts as we are all aware mean that doors will start to open for Proksa. Currently not ranked in the top 15 of any of the 4 major bodies, Proksa must look to take on fighters that have this ranking and make it difficult for fighters to avoid him. UK Domestic fighters such as Anthony Small, Jamie Moore, and Bradley Pryce (although this might well change after his dismal Prizefighter showing) all have some sort of ranking with the major bodies. Small for example holds a ranking of 14 with the WBA and 7 with the WBO.

Proksa has a great team behind him and with Barry Hearn’s Matchroom as his promoters they will certainly look to move him along at the right pace. When I caught up with him at his Redhill base before the Booth fight it was abundantly clear that Proksa is hungry for titles and wins. He has made a number of sacrifices in order to make it this far and it is obvious he is prepared to make more sacrifices in order to reach his goal of a world title shot. It was certainly refreshing to speak to a boxer who has a great attitude to training, fighting, his team and his family, someone who is prepared to fight anyone domestically or internationally in order to reach his goals and there is something in me that says he may well reach his goal. One thing is for sure, he is definitely one to watch.

Hell of a chance for dragon, wish him the best but don't see Sosnowski making it the distance.

Hope Proksa keeps getting some exposure.

 

I'm hoping Super Gs career gains some momentum, but I'm not holding my breath if he doesn't make some drastic changes with his team.


Krzysztof Bienias 39(16)-3 is fighting Kell Brook 20(13)-0 in UK tomorrow.
KB has won 17 in a row but against unimpressive competition. Brook is a huge favorite in this one.

 

Pawel Kolodziej is fighting British Mark Krence 24(6)-6 for the vacant WBF title this weekend. Also on the card Wawrzyk and Jackiewicz.

 

We have some young heavyweights that might have some promise.

Krzysztof Zimnoch 1(1)-0 26yrs 216lbs
Joey Dawejko 3(1)-0 19yrs 225lbs won Jr Heavyweight Championship 2008
Adam Kownacki 1(1)-0 20yrs 235lbs

Who do you think will turn out to be the best prospect of the bunch?

 

Read about Zimnoch, started his career in Poland, fought there as an amateur for quite some time. Isnt the youngest to go pro, and wants to advance his career as much as possible in a short time frame, so he went out to the US to do it, and a good choice he made. Trains with Collona I think? Was an interview with him and he said that Zimnoch has a lot of potential and talent.

Joey Dawejko is short, and fat. He needs to lose some weight, and when he does, I doubt he will be big enough for the HW division. I think he is only like 5'10'' or something... and no Mike Tyson, either. Not knocking on his skills or anything, never seen him, but just think he is too small for HW, and overweight at the moment.

Adam Kownacki, never seen him fight. Is that the guy who used to post here? According to boxrec he hasnt fought since October, sooooooo.... yeaaa.


Wlodarczyk and Fragomenni supposed to rematch in May. Hopefully Wlod will finally take this guy out, if he fails it will be quite a dissapointment, since he should of got the job done the first time, anyways.

Speaking of Wlod, what happened to andyZor? havent seen him in a while and he was on here all the time.

 

Kownacki and Dawejko are US based.I have yet to see any of those 3 fight.

 

Same here.

Zimnoch is US based as well, Chicago.

 

Thanks for the nice analysis. I will be keeping an eye on these guys, who knows maybe one of them will turn out to be a top notch.
Zimnoch looks the most physically intimating of the bunch, Joey's a shorty, and Kownacki reminds me of Wawrzyk; possesses skill but needs to work on his strength training.

I hope all is well with Andrzej, but I'm sure we'll be hearing from him around Diablo's return.

 

Speaking of the guys, up on bokser is this vid of Zimnochs last KO... I know its not much to go by but.. lol

Looks pretty good for those 15 seconds there.

Zimnoch fighting again at the end of April.

If it's one thing we know about this guy is that he is keeping busy. Seems pretty motivated.

Maybe one to keep an eye on. We will see, I wanna see a full fight from this guy.
