The Machine will rise again

[dan_cov]

The Machine 2.0 will arrive soon - Bigger, stronger, faster, smarter!

It will be a new chapter, everybody in the cruiserweight division will feel the wrath of Rakhim. The best offensive fighter since Iron Mike Tyson.

He will improve his stamina, he will bring his left hand back properly and will have no mercy. He will single-handedly wipe out the entire division!

Congratulations Krzysztof Włodarczyk and thank you, your experience prevailed but has awoken something that can not be stopped.

Mark my words, this Russian powerhouse will be back and will tear the soul out of anything that dares cross its path. Huck? Hernandez? Lebedev? All doomed.
Those that have witnessed The Machine even if just tonight will stay strong knowing he is the real deal & will want to avenge that defeat. It'll be as great as the first encounter only Rakhim be victorious.

Who?

better to move on then come back. Taking defeats to personally isn't a smart move! Unfortunetly the biggest most meaningfull lessons learned come from defeats! If your smart enough not to take it personally!! Get it? Ray

Props to any fans that don't turn on their fighter as soon as he loses.

Rakhim ran a sprint instead of a marathon and punched himself out after 5 rounds, hell he was so much feeling himself he even did the Ali shuffle in the 5th before he got dropped for the first time.

And i remember posting in one of your threads about Rakhim after he fought some strong but crude black guy (sorry i dont remember his name) but even then i said he needs to shore up his defense against the left hook, and he did not do it and that was the punch that did him in.

He needs a new trainer, and hopefully there is no permanent psychological damage.

But it was a good fight

I am gutted though I like Wlod, knew it was a difficult fight & Rakhim did me proud but like you said he'll be back & no shame in losing to Wlod who has genuinely been very underrated for a lot of years now.

Nothing that can't be rectified for me. He didn't get embarrassed and its a loss he can bounce back from and improve on. I'll go to his next title fight whether it be Poland or Russia though I'd absolutely love him to fight Ola Afolabi in the U.K

I think it was more fatigue and lack of experience than anything and feel he showed a lot of heart, maybe too much scraping himself off the deck & going straight back to war like that.

Yeah, a rematch clause in Poland though I think that was only if Rakhim won the title or some cr4p but Wlods a warrior and feel he wouldn't turn down any challenge.
