TVP1: Artur Szpilka vs. Dominick Guinn & Ewa Maria Piątkowska vs. Maria Camilla Lindberg RBR

Does he think anyone cares?

"I'm pretty big in Poland, so better give all my fans over there a heads-up.."

 

Talking about Michael Buffer. And not really kidding.

 

This concludes Narodowa Gala Sportów Walki coverage on TVP Sport.

(kickboxing match highlights appear fairly entertaining, at least...as does that girl in full Native American headdress crooning into the mic and sensuously dancing...)

 

Like, he punched a wall?

 

Jackiewicz and to a lesser extent Lindberg need to retire more urgently than Guinn does.

I mean, he absolutely should - but for a different reason.

 

You're probably right. I have some weird soft spot for Szpilka and do think he's more skilled than Kownacki, but yeah, between physicality and intangibles...he's fucked in that one.

 

He's a known thug, as well.

 

I think I'm more disappointed in Dominique's performance, tbh.

Wtf did he really have to lose? He once had somewhat decent power, and Szpilka is known to have a shaky chin and was obviously terrified of engaging. Why not just sell out and chuck some haymakers, see what happens?

It really isn't like opportunities are pouring in left & right for him at this point in his career. He's a glorified sparring partner, why not flip the script and see if you can upend Szpilka, punch your way into a last big payday to ride into the sunset?

He didn't even try.

 

Yeah but he must have known this was his last time headlining a card vs. a remotely "name" fighter. May as well break the mold, right? Was kind of now or never..
