Kownacki is a good fighter though just not top 5 heavyweight mateiral he has fast hands and throws creative combination and likes to fight and has courage all admirable things but as some one said he lacks big ko power and defense not enough to go to the super elite level of top 5 heavyweight.

Kownacki fight tonight with Arreola was good match making though..
Yeah your right. It was the perfect match.
But for a televised HW main event, it was pretty low quality.
I pay $35 to watch 2 morbidly obese Maori or Pacific Islander heavyweights pound the crap out of each other at the Auckland boxing club a few times a year. It doesn't mean it should be televised, but the beers are really cheap and I love boxing

Because he wasnt a top 10 fighter in that fight. He landed 667 punches tonight anyway. If he loses 10kg/25lbs he will be 50% better
No, that was the total number of punches landed by both fighters.

Trading a high volume of punches with Wilder is not a recipe for success.
I dunno Marv.
Bare with me or a minute;
If Kownacki is so easy to hit, but had a good chin, Wilder will be firing straight right hands until he breaks it again, then Kownacki (in the shape of his life) plastered Wilder with tons of punches and wins a decision.
It could happen

Kownacki should come to Poland to train profesionally just like he did before fighting Szpilka
Of course. Everything is better in Poland including trainers
Hopefully not buffets, otherwise he is screwed.
Seriously, he is starting a family and is quite settled in Brooklyn. So I don't see him going to Poland any time soon.

In Poland he can focus on boxing only. In Brooklyn he can't for obvious reasons + he travels 3 hours to some trainer + he trains with some unknown guy who does commercial trainings.
The fact is - the best looking Kownacki was when he trained in Poland. With a Polish trainer who works now with Hunter.
I dont say that trainers in Poland are better or worse. I say that it would be better particulary for him.

I mean coming for training camps only, for 2-3 months, like he did before fighting Szpilka. If not coming to Poland, he must change something in his team and/or training methods anyway. And change diet of course.
I think this fight gave a good account of Kownacki. It's clear that his durability is damned legit, and this fight proved it more than probably any other. His stamina is good, but his style is pretty exhausting, and he was getting tired. We know Kownacki's power is good, but this fight didn't offer a lot of support to that theory. We saw once again that Kownacki is very sharp at hitting you accurately from many angles.
I have no doubt that Kownacki's ranking (#10-11ish) is well supported at this point. I'd be curious to see him fight a similarly-rated opponent like Oscar Rivas or Joseph Parker; both of whom are beasts. However, I think Kownacki has done enough to justify a title shot, and I don't think he needs to take further action to earn it more.

Think he needs to beat someone higher up the ladder than Spilzka (who is a fringe contender himself) to justify a title shot, unless he is being used as a gimme after Wilder faces a tough opponent like Fury.
Truth!
Minor detail.
