Comments Thread For: Szpilka Clears Up Issues, Jennings Fight is On

[King_]

I don't really know why you keep comparing Szpilka to Fedosov they fight nothing alike and Szpilka is not a pressure fighter. He can be aggressive but he's a natural counter puncher who generally fights off the back foot or circles and is at his best when doing so. The McCline fight is a perfect example and the most disciplined fight hes had sticking to a gameplan and not getting wreckless.

If he sticks to that i think it would give Jennings problems since BJ doesn't naturally lead and is used to being the boxer and mover. Taking that role away from him especially against a hard punching southpaw with good counter punching skills should present real difficulties.

I'm not comparing Szpilka to Fedosov. I'm merely bringing up Fedosov because that was the last fight Jennings had and the last one I saw, and I Remember Frdosov giving him a difficult time with the pressure......

And I've only saw Sziplka fight 2-3 times and the fights I've saw he was being very aggressive and I just think the same pressure could give Jennings some fits...... So yeah.

I haven't saw enough of Jennings not Szpilka to know exactly how they fight and their full arsenals/styles. I'm just brining up the last two fights I've saw of eAch

This is a very good match up. I will definitely tune in.

Szpilka is a lot better when he moves around, he has quick feets he can jump in with that left and jump to the side. As long as he remains a cold head he has the skillset to do it, he is also the more experienced fighter with over a hundred amateur fights. The only concer here is that he will get cought up in a moment like he did in the Mollo rematch(the rest of the fight was pretty one sided).

Did Jennings ever fight a southpaw before? He was sparring with Travis Kaufmann for this fight i dont think he resembles Szpilkas style at all. Jennings also seems to take him very lightly with the "he is only my next opponent" and "i dont know a lot about him" comments.

A week in a new country is fine to adjust, plus it's only a few hours. What are you making up excuses already?

Artur won't need any excuses when he knocks Bye Bye,Bye Bye.

lol! yep it's only an 8-9 hour time change so jetlag shouldn't even be an issue. the flight is 10-12 hours at most. he isn't flying from Australia to Chicago, he's only crossing the atlantic....

C'mon really ? 3x11 flights plus changes Munich,you'd have to be really naive to believe they wouldn't take their toll.preparation,state of mind and fatigue are all major issues in any boxers training.

This is a very good match up. I will definitely tune in.

Glad to have you back.

I really hope Jennings has his head on straight and is focused. All the BS could have effected him negatively. Physically he looks in great shape, but you never can tell about the mental state when the kinds of stunts are pulled.

You don't see a big deal,neither do i,the fact remains the wholse scenario Artur has endured isn't ideal preparation.

I lean towards Artur still,he's a tough hombre.shouid he lose I won't try to legitimise the goings on this week as the reason he lost,just simply stating this predicament in its entirety hasn't been ideal.

You worked a 12 hour day ! Artur has to fight in a ring in front of say five thousand people without a portable toilet to retire to when he feel the duress of his shift.

I'll agree to disagree,I actually usually like your opinions and views,a week shouid be more than enough time to prepare himself.i was thinking the mental side of things may have more of an impact.

he will lose a couple days training but artur has probably done that route more then once in his career which should help some. if he had to do all that flying any closer to the fight then i'd be worried that HBO would replace the HW fight on the card. win or lose both are getting their biggest slot of their careers on TV. if it's a good fight even the loser will get another look if the ratings were good.
