Krzysztof “Diablo” Włodarczyk showed the class. The master returns to the throne
Włodarczyk returned to the ring after more than a year break on Sunday. His rival was Adam Balski, and the stake was the temporary title of the world champion WBC in the Bridger category. Even before the start of this clash, the 44-year-old seemed confident. – You have to hit him well, hit well, well compose a series of blows so that there is an effect. (…) I will do my best. To win and sign up in the history of boxing. This is my dream, but now work on my side – he announced in an interview with TVP Sport.
The duel began with a slight delay, because Włodarczyk went to the ring for unknown reasons a few minutes later. – Maybe it's an element of a game, Balski's upset, it's hard to say – commentators reported TVP Sport. After singing the national anthem, the start began. From the very beginning, Balski was volatile on his legs, fast, while Włodarczyk was hidden behind the double garde.
Balski consistently worked with the left straight, he broke the defense of his rival. And he undoubtedly won the first round. At the beginning of the second, Włodarczyk hit a strong right. – But he went, I haven't seen Włodarczyk so focused for a long time. Balski was a serious signal for the first time – commentators were excited. More and more strokes hit the corps of the younger player, there was a clear redness.
Włodarczyk was patient, he was waiting for the mistake of a rival who was very busy. – Włodarczyk is like a sniper, he can calibrate this crosshair for a long time, but as he hits … – Commentators complimented the former master. He was surprised, he still didn't want to lose too much strength, because he realized that still a lot of time. Balski was constantly using the concepts, but the rival did not respond to it. The 44-year-old exerted more and more pressure, thanks to which he tired his opponent and closed him on the ropes.
Włodarczyk brutally knocked out Balski. “Murderous blow”
It was the end of the fifth round, when Balski suddenly hit the right hook. – Włodarczyk swayed and fell on the boards, a heavy Nokdaun. Bomb with delayed ignition, the labyrinth was crazy. It was close to the end – the commentators summed up. Włodarczyk survived, there was a break. Balski did not want to spoil the situation and scored more points without setting fire. Włodarczyk was not very aggressive, apparently this blow had inhibited him a bit.
Unexpectedly in the eighth round, Włodarczyk hit and cut the rival's eyebrow. There were a lot of clinch, fewer and fewer blows. And finally 20 seconds before the end of the round Balski fell on the boards after a few accurate blows of the rival. Balski is terribly hurt, Włodarczyk returned to the game. From hell, not yet to heaven, for now to Purgatory. His blows weigh tons – commentators reported. The ninth round was quite boring, they both slowed down a bit, and finally they went to the impressive exchange for the last seconds before the end.
– This is the best 'Diablo' I have seen for years – noted one of the commenting on the fight just before the 10th round. And “unlocked navy blue” at the end of this installment. Lewy sickle totally extinguished the light of Balski and there was nothing to collect. “Murderous blow,” commentators said. Włodarczyk again a master.
