If anyone still had any doubt about Szpilka, the last fight confirmed he is finished as any kind of prospect, hope or whatever.

Oficially he won this Saturday against Radchenko, but apart from himself, his girlfriend and perhaps his promotor there are not many people that would agree with the verdict. Szpilka was down on canvas (twice) and referee most probably saved him from the 3rd one when he intervened to break action and deduct point from Radchenko for punching after imaginary "stop" command.

To his credit, Szpilka showed heart and gave his best, also coming close to knocking down Radchenko in 9th round... but no way he won that fight.

People are rarely successfully moving down, but you gotta ask why they are doing it, it's because there struggling where they are. Many fighters could move down, but if your the good where you are rarely makes sense going down.

Especially going down to cruiser where you get paid a quarter as muchif lucky. Noone is moving down there Unless they have to.

Spilka should get beat up by the top cruisers, depending on how many top cruisers stay there.

His chin is done. He can box but he just needs to get caught once. I would say he just needs to face opponents without heavy hands but looks like his last opponent was just that and he still got dropped twice.

Szpilka is a definition of a glass jaw. He won't be safe at the CWs. He needs to retire.
