Artur Szpilka vs. Bryant Jennings

[MatchMaker215]

Jennings by KO. I got to sit with Jennings and Paulie Malinagi at the Golovkin vs Macklin fight. Jennings was cool dude and he can scrap. I got a nice photo too.

So if you sat with Szpilka would you have chosen him to win? SMH... Szpilka >>>>>>>Both Klitsckos!........................................ .................................................. ..................J/K, Szpilka is getting koed soon, he's not that good, kinda small as well.

Szpilka is actually 6,3 (taller than Jennings 6,2) But he bends his knees and appear smaller. They both usually weigh in around 230. Jennings has a big reach advantage tho.

Nah not at all. I've watched both fight at least 6-7 times now. The Pin has a weak chin and is too easy to hit. I love his fights though as he has balls and huge heart. He can pop,don't get me wrong but Jennings is the real deal. He reminds me of a young Holyfield and is getting to that ...scary level. I am very much looking forward to this fight though. Love HW boxing and feel that the HW Division will be as good as the late 80's-90's soon enough. Vlad will have some legit big $$ fights soon enough after 2 soft mandatories.

Very closely matched.

It depends upon how much one or the other has improved, and how focused and well-prepared they are the night of the fight.

This is a ba$tard of a fight to predict,I can't call it.

[BattleAxePurist]

An actually even matched HW fight that has the potential to be of good quality , separate one towards a possible title shot.

Not buying into the Jennings hype - I think Szpilka, with all his flaws, is still the more Polish (haha..pun intended) polished fighter. He's a little quicker and I think he has more power. Could be wrong though...

In any event, this is one of more intriguing recent hw matchups. On paper this fight looks to have the potential a great hw fight. We'll see....

[MAXIMUS~RICO~13]

Jennings by KO, he's the best American heavy weight...

[SN!PER]

I like both fighters, but I'm concerned about Szpilka's defense. An inactive Mike Mollo shouldn't have been able to put him down like that in both fights.

Szpilka's offense, on the other hand, is wonderful. He's a young, quick southpaw with good work rate and power.

Jennings is the better boxer, longer reach, and good foot movement. Szpilka will get outboxed... he has to catch Jennings with something solid in the first 3 rounds and shake him up before he gets comfortable in there. But I think Jennings' athleticism and reach will bother Szpilka a lot in this fight.
