Szpilka misses a right jab over the head of Adamek, who is ducking and falling shy with a body jab. Right jab and left uppercut by Szpilka moving in, ducked. Right on the body by Adamek. Szpilka is tapping Adamek's left glove with his right. Patty cake. Szpilka is circling out, shifting weight to either foot, dipping side to side. Adamek comes forward, arms folded up by his chest.

Ineffectual jab backhanded up from the hip by Adamek. Szpilka is flicking right jabs at Adamek's face, a few inches short. Szpilka bangs Adamek on the bridge of the nose with a straight left, knocking him into the ropes. Szpilka is knocking Adamek's jab down with the right arm and landing the left hand lead.
