I'm watching.
Zimnoch is a decent heavyweight, he's not special but I don't see anything wrong with him either. His defense is solid, he doesn't leave himself open to counter punches like Szpilka does.
I'm in.
I hope he wins so we get to see Zimnoch-Szpilka :cool:
For those not familiar it's a bit of a Polish grudge match

Oliver coming to the ring.
Zimnoch is much faster, but McCall is bigger and looks stronger.
Zimnoch 1-0.
Close first round..
Zimnoch 2-0.
Did Zimnoch hurt McCall? Seemed to stun him a bit.
Round 2 goes to Zimnoch.
Oliver has success with the jab when he throws it.
Another Zimnoch round.
Zimnoch landed some good combinations in that round.
Zimnoch needs to be careful, he's getting into dangerous exchanges with McCall.
But he's winning the rounds.
Zimnoch 4-0.
Zimnoch up 5-0.
McCall has landed a few good shots, including illegal rabbit punches, but Zimnoch has taken them well so far.
McCall using headbutts. He turned as if he was going to quit. Zimnoch shouldn't fight him in close, he's taking chances because McCall still has power.
Zimnoch 6-0.
Another Zimnoch round.
Last round coming up.
Closer 7th round. McCall has more power (he seemed to hurt Zimnoch in that round) but is fighting in spurts. Zimnoch is landing more.
Zimnoch up 7-0.
It's over. I have Zimnoch winning every round, but there were two close rounds (1 and 7) that could have gone to McCall.
Should be a UD for Zimnoch.
Freedom...regarding Zimnoch-Szpilka who do you think wins?
It's a competitive matchup, but I think Zimnoch will win a decision unless he gets caught with something big.Quote:

Rekowski won the Polish nationals a few times. Too bad he's 35.

I had the fight much closer . 5-3 for Zimnoch. I really want Zimnoch - Szplika to happen. I think Szpilka ko's him in 4- there really is no comparison - Szpilka has a less than average chin , and subpar defence, but he is very agressive, and I doubt Zimnoch can handle him.
