| Szpilka Likely Out Until December, Surgery For His Jaw
|
|
By Luke Furman Polish heavyweight prospect Artur Szpilka (12-0, 9 KOs) is possibly out until December. Last night in Lodz, Szpilka's jaw was broken in two places during his ten round unanimous decision win over tough veteran Jameel McCline (43-12-3, 24 KOs). As reported earlier, Szpilka believes his jaw was broken in the sixth round. The boxer indicates that he will undergo surgery in the coming days.

[QUOTE=paulf]No doubt, but he really doesn't look like a heavyweight either. I'm 6'2 and weigh about 178. Can Szpilka, at 6'4, really not make the 200lbs limit?
It was the first time i've seen him. He seems to have some skills but was too tentative to use them against Mccline due to his size. ... |

@paulf Szpilka was fighting in cruiserweight before he went to jail. After he left he weighed about 120kg. Now he's about 105kg and probably duznt mind go to cruiser. |

[QUOTE=Freedom.]Szpilka is not a quitter. :fing02:
Despite the pain of a broken jaw, he went the whole 10 rounds. In fact, he finished strong in the last round.[/QUOTE]
