Adam Kownacki

[Onetimeonly]

Nothing to me. Charles Martin is his best win and he was the butt of every joke. Entertaining fight, nothing of note. I wouldn't have him top 10.

He's not the worst I've seen, but I won't get carried away with kownacki

Doesn't matter how good his chin is, if he walks in wide open and gets hit by a hard-hitting heavy he'll topple. Still, I like his style and as others have said, I wish him all the best as he's fun to watch.

I disagree. There have been a handful of heavyweights in the past that could take a monster punch and not go down:

Oliver McCall and Ray Mercer to name a few......

This is true. Wach as well more recently. Watching Klitschko tee off repeatedly and tire himself out hitting him in the face was unreal.

Well it's incredibly rare. McCall was great at seeing a punch coming and making a micro-movement away from the punch to cushion the blow. He didn't fight wide open. I would suggest Mercer was similar. Point is they had good boxing fundamentals, Kownacki doesn't have them.

Blocking with your face is not a skill?

True that.
I don't think anyone is interested in him ever fighting Joshua/Wilder/Fury.
But anyone below that, I think he can make entertaining fan friendly viewing.

McCall moved his head and shaved the power off a punch. Mercer just seemed to simply absorb the full power of it. I don't recall him ever moving his head, he just put the esr muffs up and braced himself!

Yes mate fun fighter at his level, but beyond that he won't be ruffling any feathers

Washington is p*ss poor. Worth keeping that in perspective.

I stand corrected. He had his chin tucked in nicely and kept his hands up but yeah he didn't bring reflexes into play too much!
