1-0 Zbik.

I agree, Zbik wins a round that wasn't particularly close.

2:

Spada the agressor. He seems to have abandoned the jab and now bores in with hooks.

Nice 1-2 from Zbik. Zbik hasb by far the better technique.

2-0

2-0

Something clearly changed since the first fight. I feel like Zbik has already been more effective in the first two rounds than he was in the entire 12 in the first fight.

Zbik wins another round that wasn't particularly close. 2-0 Zbik.

3:

So far Zbik has deployed the uppercut very well. He tries again in this round He even leads with it.

If only Zbik had power..... he'd have the potential to be a star.

Again a good right from Zbik. Spada needs to work the body I think. He's not succesfull at all so far.

3-0.

I agree. Zbik looks much better.

[The Hammer]

Zbik perhaps really was affected by his ear injury in the first fight, because he seems much better in this one.

Zbik's uppercut looks really good. Was Spada hurt at one point in the round? His legs seemed to give, but my stream is a bit choppy, so I wasn't sure.

Close round, but I think Zbik edged it. 3-0 Zbik.

[The Hammer]

Was that from a head butt, Bat?

4:

Wild swings from Spada that probably was closer to Jurgen Brahmer at ringside than Zbik.

Zbik is bleeding! Or....??

Yep. He's cut on the nose and covers up.

Spada gets a point deducted.

Zbik is bewildered.

This must be a 9-9 round.

3-1.

Cut caused by a nasty butt.
