Stieglitz-Gutknecht and Zbik-Spada II in Germany today

[BattlingNelson]

Come on Bat... I'm waiting to leave til I see how you scored the eighth...

For Zbik.......

[The Hammer]

Zbik clearly wins the 9th. He landed a lot of clean punches, Spada felt them but was not seriously hurt.

10:

Spada working hard. Zbik needs his second wind.

Zbik wants Pavlik he says. Good for him he's facing Spada tonight. No steam left at all in Zbiks punches.

Spada doing the (not so pretty) work. Zbik does the clinching.

6-4

For once we seem to disagree somewhat Tunney

[BattlingNelson]

11:

Zbik much more active in this round.

Close round this. I give it to Zbik.

7-4

We agree that Zbik is feather-fisted. He's landed a lot of clean punches that should have hurt Spada but didn't.

Zbik ahead about 7 rounds to 4 going into the 12. Spada needs a KO.

12:

Both comes out slugging! Fine. We need that after those messy rounds.

Big punches and big misses.

This is Zbik's round and he should get a comfortable UD.

Yeah. Zbik landed several clean good-looking punches but there was never any danger of Spada going down.

Pavlik will KO him IMO.

117-110, 116-111x2

Zbik.
