Comments Thread For: Adam Kownacki: 1 or 2 More Fights - Then I Go For a World Title

Limited. No defence. Entertaining.
Has a 0 on his record.

He has a better chance than most to get a title shot.
Why?
Because he is very beatable. That why.

Plenty of heart and courage but he needs to get himself into much better shape.

He's a guaranteed show and will have a huge Polish fan bans to sell to if he gets a title shot. It will make money.

[just the facts]

While I can't see Kownacki ever making it to the top, he's an all action SOB and that's never a bad thing.

Joshua is occupied with Povetkin, Whyte (likely WBO mandatory and £££ UK fight), Wilderx2, Pulev / H Fury (IBF mandatory) and possibly Brazealle (WBC 1st mandatory) and Ortiz (likely 2nd mandatory down the line) if he picks up WBC (though Wilder may deal with Brazealle). T Fury is a £££ UK fight even if T Fury loses to Wilder. Usyk and Miller has £££ commercial value. So nobody else is getting a look in until 2022.

Would love to see him fight Jennings or Andy Ruiz Jr. The Polish fans were going nuts as usual. It was an electric night. The place was packed. Second time I have atteneded a Kownacki fight. I first saw him K.O Spilka at the Nassau Coliseum. He may be fat and crude but the kid throws a lot of punches and really brings it. A future champion? Probably not but his fights are entertaining.

Kownacki is like a better version of Dave Allen

It's an embarrassment to the HW division that someone can look like this Pillsbury dough boy and be considered a contender. The physique of these HWs is disgusting. It's why I don't take this division seriously.

I miss 90's Heavyweight boxing. It was much better when they were all on steroids.

Kownacki probably gets KO'd if it goes 12.

The heavyweight division is not an elite division right now. Everybody at the top has a few cracks in their armor... So where does this kid stack up?

His conditioning is good enough that he throws punches throughout, it would not hurt him to lose weight but he also depends on hitting with looping heavy hands. He has plenty of time to lose a few, I don't think it is an issue.

He has a way he fights and it is very basic. Good, bad? Just very basic. The real question would be if he can execute against a fighter who has defensive skills. He tends to loop his shots as well, and not move his head...So he has to make a major decision.

His style has gotten him this far...and he is young. Does he learn the craft? go into the gym, take apart all those bad habits? straighten his punches out, learn to sit down on some of his shots, learn to use his shoulders and head movement., start to work on angles, and cutting the ring down? or does he just understand that in this division right now, if he keeps young and whole, he might learn a few tricks down the line, maybe get a chance to upset a fighter who has more on the ball, but is vulnerable to pressure that is continious... and go for it?

What would you do fellow poster?

You mentioned he should lose the weight but if you listen to his interviews you'll see he's not bothered by his weight. I don't think he's got very good advising regarding boxing because he gets fatter almost every fight. He should be 240s, there is no excuse for him to carry that huge belly and tiits. Just my opinion.

He's got heart. Something you need in that division but he's slower than dirt. And my body has never looked nowhere near that bad. The only way he ever gets a belt is if Joshua, wilder and fury all suddenly die.If they were not around I'm sure he could get a piece of the pie
