Zbik having success boxing on the outside, landing lots of shots. As soon as it goes on the inside he covers up and Spada lands nothing. Spada looks very reckless and the size disadvantage is showing.
From what I saw Zbik won every round. 7 onwards. Props to Spada, gave it everything just didn't have the class or the power to do any damage. Very solid disciplined performance from Zbik. Not a great fight to be honest.
:rofl Spada lifted his hands in the air when the final bell rang. I gave him the last round just because Zbik was holding so much (still he landed some good shots). I have it 8-4 Zbik, shouldn't be closer than that.
Yep. UD for Zbik. Obviously the ref must have taken a point off Zbik at some point, didn't catch that when it happened. Official scorecards: 117-110, 116-111, 116-111 all for Zbik. A just decision in Germany for a change.

Actually Zbik showed some pretty good boxing skills in this fight. Used his reach effectively, and made the awkward Spada look like an amateur at times. Went to clinch when he had too, generally he showed good ring generalship. Don't think that he can threaten the top dogs of the division, though, but I wouldn't count him out. Aside from some good body punching and inside fighting, Spada was sloppy as ****. I have to say that Zbik is a much better fighter, Spada looked below average at times. Not a very entertaining fight, but it was interesting at times.
