SportsTranscript
00:00 We are here with Stanislaw Eschner in Dzierżoniów.
00:02 Wierzejski's physiognomy has changed completely.
00:05 Today he is a more dynamic, but also a lot more sluggish and physically strong.
00:12 We'll see what Wierzejski will offer us next time.
00:15 He claims that he won the first fight, but it was a hard, tight fight.
00:19 Yes, this last time is definitely very beneficial for Wierzejski.
00:24 After the rematch with Vasil Chalych, after the slightly won fight with Łukasz Załuska,
00:32 the spectacular wins with Górski came, later with Eschner.
00:36 I think that a tough task awaits Załuska here.
00:40 It seems that Wierzejski is a clear favorite, but we don't take a chance from Załuska,
00:46 since for the first time he has so strongly opposed Wierzejski, who comes from Jelenia Góra.
00:52 Yes, the time is also working for Wierzejski's benefit.
00:55 37-year-old Załuska, 25-year-old Wierzejski,
00:59 who has some success in boxing.
01:03 Olimpic hit, right hook, very nice.
01:06 Good timing of this hit.
01:08 I think that speed and speed should be a fundamental issue,
01:18 looking from the perspective of Oskar Wierzejski.
01:21 Yes, Wierzejski will have to be careful with such punches.
01:25 Now a very dangerous punch to the ear area.
01:27 He's throwing those punches at Załuska.
01:32 These are dangerous punches, but Wierzejski is cautious and calmly reacts to these situations.
01:37 I'm curious how it will be with this dynamic of the attack,
01:41 because Wierzejski's hands seem to be fast,
01:44 but on the other hand, the guard's hands are heavy.
01:48 He's got a right hand, but he's got a left hand.
01:50 A perfect left hand.
01:52 Feet under him, feet under him.
01:54 Feet, feet under him.
01:57 Don't let him go, fuck him.
01:59 A double left hook from Wierzejski,
02:01 but he hasn't decided to add a right hand punch yet.
02:05 Right hand under this hand.
02:07 With the left hand, we're putting him, we're putting this left hand.
02:11 He's afraid.
02:13 He's afraid.
02:17 Let's remember that Załuska hasn't fought since the fight with Oskar Wierzejski,
02:26 which took place on November 26, 2021, here in Radom.
02:32 So a break in the ring.
02:36 Go to the side, go to the side, don't kick.
02:40 Don't kick.
02:42 To the left, to the left.
02:48 Załuska is thinking a lot about these offensive steps,
02:51 but he's not realizing it.
02:55 Wierzejski is calm, focused,
02:57 as if he wanted to methodically develop Załuska,
03:00 knowing and believing that time will play for him in this fight.
03:04 Yes, but when we talk about training, about this background,
03:07 it's definitely on Wierzejski's side.
03:11 And you can see it in this initial phase of this fight.
03:15 He was, among others, a bronze medalist in the Polish Junior Championship in 2016.
03:20 There he defeated Konrad Kaczmarkiewicz and lost to Radosław Kawczak,
03:24 whom we watched yesterday at the Suzuki Boxing Night gala in Rypina.
03:27 Yes, exactly.
03:29 And there was also coach Karol Chabres at the gala in Rypina,
03:32 so he wasn't that far away.
03:34 A bit closer, because he wasn't from Szczecin, but from Rypina.
03:37 He was here at another gala.
03:41 Wierzejski started this fight very calmly.
03:46 He's calmly defending Załuska, but I have the impression that this calmness
03:49 is the argument that is working in Wierzejski's favor.
03:53 Yes, you can see the difference in speed.
03:58 He's very calm, and it's on Wierzejski's side.
04:02 And as Tomasz Adamek said,
04:08 "If I'm fast, I show my speed."
04:12 There he is, Tomasz Adamek.
04:14 Speaking of speed,
04:16 I'm watching closely the events from Gorzelce.
04:20 It seems that next week there will be also a fight in Rzeszów
04:23 for the World Championship of Łukasz Różański against Alen Babic.
04:26 But we're watching the second round of the fight between
04:29 Oskar Wierzejski and Łukasz Załuska.
04:31 This is the revenge for the events from November 2021.
04:35 This fight was divided into 6 rounds.
04:43 It was also the first 6-round fight in Radomsk.
04:49 It ended, as we said,
04:52 with the victory of 2-1.
04:56 Wierzejski claims that he was clearly better
05:02 than Załuska for the first time.
05:04 He claims that he deserved the victory,
05:07 but he's not entirely right.
05:09 He will want to look for this confirmation in the ring today.
05:12 Yes, Robert Gorter scored 58.53,
05:17 and scored the victory for Załuska.
05:21 We had the opportunity to comment on this fight together
05:24 and we had the same opinion that Oskar Wierzejski was much better.
05:27 Yes, yes, he was better.
05:29 But here in this fight we can see that
05:31 there is a slight cut on the left eye.
05:34 He looked, cut his left eye with a glove,
05:37 he saw that there is a bleeding Oskar Wierzejski.
05:39 We'll see how it affects him.
05:41 For now it's not a deep cut,
05:43 and what's important, the blood is not flooding the eye yet.
05:46 But it seems that he was a bit depressed
05:49 after what happened.
05:51 Now we can see a good left, a straight one,
05:53 then he added a left one.
05:56 I would stick to this from jump to jump,
05:59 working with my left hand,
06:01 and cheating through his speed skills,
06:05 Łukasz Załuska.
06:07 And now also on the move, very nicely,
06:09 Wierzejski hits with his left armlock.
06:13 Załuska would definitely like to beat himself,
06:16 he would like to stand close and exchange these strong blows.
06:20 Also looking for a body hit now in the eye.
06:23 And another one.
06:33 Right armlock, preceded by a left straight one.
06:37 Wierzejski.
06:39 But he can break the tempo in this right armlock.
06:45 He's clearly waiting for a corner,
06:47 for a mistake in Załuska's attack.
06:49 Wierzejski also realizes his limitations,
06:56 that's why he's based on simple actions,
06:58 where there will be an explosive charge,
07:00 just like now, he didn't reach it.
07:02 Wierzejski responds to the left armlock,
07:04 Załuska responds, it's getting more and more interesting
07:06 at the end of the second round.
07:08 But now also, when Wierzejski added a left armlock,
07:12 it was a bit too much.
07:14 But here, once again,
07:16 Załuska is hitting with his left armlock.
07:19 Wierzejski.
07:21 Wierzejski used to say that he respects the fighters
07:29 who fight with bare fists,
07:31 but fistfighting in gloves is a completely different sport.
07:35 And today he will have the opportunity to prove it again.
07:39 [90kg]
07:41 Exactly 90kg,
07:53 that's what Oskar Wierzejski weighed yesterday.
07:55 It's also interesting, because he thought
07:57 about going down to the semi-heavyweight category.
07:59 We'll see how it will turn out in the future.
08:01 I'm curious how he would look like.
08:03 He has strong legs,
08:07 maybe he could fight,
08:09 because why not?
08:11 But will it be a good idea?
08:13 He weighed almost 87kg with Schneer.
08:16 Now he added those 3kg,
08:19 because Załuska is also a big guy.
08:21 Wierzejski realized that
08:23 he probably needs to add some strength
08:25 during the preparation.
08:27 Załuska can easily weigh 95kg today.
08:36 [90kg]
08:38 And another clean left straight from Wierzejski.
08:42 The goal is coming.
08:44 [90kg]
08:46 [90kg]
08:48 [90kg]
08:50 [90kg]
08:52 [90kg]
08:54 [90kg]
08:56 [90kg]
08:58 [90kg]
09:00 [90kg]
09:02 [90kg]
09:04 [90kg]
09:06 [90kg]
09:08 [90kg]
09:10 [90kg]
09:12 Załuska has to shorten the distance with small steps.
09:15 He has to work with his left hand
09:17 and with the help of his corner.
09:19 Yes, we can see clearly what Załuska's goal is.
09:40 He's aiming for one strong punch
09:44 that could decide the fate of this fight.
09:48 Two different philosophies.
09:52 Wierzejski is trying to be very methodical.
09:55 He's looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
09:58 Yes, we can see that Załuska...
10:01 Now it was dangerous.
10:03 It's good that Wierzejski had a big safety buffer.
10:07 But when he stays in place
10:11 and when he gives a chance,
10:13 he can use it.
10:15 There should be more of these actions.
10:23 He has a fast right hand.
10:25 He has to use it a lot.
10:27 When he starts with a double left straight punch
10:30 or a single left punch,
10:32 he hits a fast right punch.
10:34 Załuska has nothing to say.
10:36 But this left straight punch
10:38 when Załuska takes a step forward
10:40 is also a good way to neutralize
10:42 any further step of Załuska in the offensive.
10:45 The third fight is coming to an end.
10:49 30 seconds left until the end of this round.
10:53 And now a single right straight punch.
10:56 You can see that he's feeling the punches.
10:58 He felt the punch from Wierzejski.
11:01 It's also a signal that
11:05 Wierzejski sees it and should use it.
11:08 He should use it to show that he has problems
11:11 with Załuska's punches.
11:13 I think he sees it.
11:15 He realizes that Załuska will be
11:17 tired with every minute.
11:19 And maybe these mistakes will be layered.
11:23 I can feel it in Wierzejski.
11:25 Załuska is sitting in his corner
11:28 terribly tired.
11:30 And the winner of the IBF/IBO Junior Heavyweight
11:34 and also the Junior Heavyweight
11:36 Tomek "Gural" Adamka!
11:40 This music is so attached to Tomasz Adamka.
11:56 Don't forget.
11:58 The career of Adamka started with
12:01 Paul Briggs winning the IBF Heavyweight title.
12:04 Then the transfer to the Junior Heavyweight
12:07 with another pain and another world championship.
12:11 Then the history written in the heavyweight division.
12:14 A great victory over Chris Areola
12:17 lost to Vitaliy Lichko.
12:19 And here we have the fourth fight.
12:25 The third fight of the IBF Junior Heavyweight
12:28 Oscar Wierzejski vs Załuska.
12:31 Załuska is also doing a lot of moves.
12:33 It costs energy.
12:35 It's washing away the vitality from him.
12:39 In close contact Wierzejski
12:41 landed two punches on the bearded man's head.
12:45 Come on, Oscar!
12:47 Oscar, give us a moment!
12:49 Another situation when
13:02 a wide right-handed punch lands.
13:05 Now Wierzejski landed a left one.
13:08 I'm looking at Załuska's legs.
13:11 How he reacts to these punches.
13:13 He's standing pretty hard.
13:15 But there was a moment of hesitation.
13:17 He'll be looking for the right-handed Wierzejski
13:20 in response to the reverse Załuska.
13:23 But very wide.
13:25 Wierzejski landed very wide two times.
13:28 It's obvious that he wants to finish
13:30 with a single punch.
13:32 But it's better when he does what he did before.
13:35 A stiff left straight
13:37 stopping Łukasz Załuska.
13:40 Combinations are also harder to locate for Łukasz Załuska.
13:45 But a tough guy, ambitious,
13:48 who will be looking for this strong punch
13:51 of this faith in one monstrous punch.
13:54 Go, Oscar! Go!
13:57 The right-handed Załuska is clearly out of range.
14:14 It also costs strength.
14:16 It builds frustration, uncertainty.
14:22 A try to respond with a wide left straight from Załuska.
14:26 But his punch was unvaluable.
14:28 And Wierzejski's punch was valid.
14:31 Załuski's coach wants punches to the body.
14:45 And the focus is on the body, not on Wierzejski's head.
14:49 Go, Oscar! Go!
14:52 Go, Oscar! Go!
14:55 How many of those were hard-hit punches?
14:59 And what do we have here? A guard on the jaw?
15:03 It's obvious that he's tired.
15:06 He's breathing hard. Łukasz Załuska is getting heavier.
15:10 He's breaking with single left straights.
15:15 Wierzejski's concept for a fight with Załuska is impressive.
15:18 Go, Wierzejski!
15:20 Go, Łukasz! Go!
15:24 Go, Łukasz! Go!
15:27 And we hear a "go" for Łukasz Załuski.
15:30 The second round of their rivalry is much more one-sided.
15:39 As in the first round, the thread was much more tense.
15:42 Here, Wierzejski's advantage from the very beginning, from the first round.
15:47 Yes, we can see the limitations of the guard.
15:52 Because Łukasz Załuska has such a big advantage.
15:56 But he's a man of character.
16:00 Until he's tired, he'll be looking for his chance in a single, hard-hit.
16:07 But Łukasz...
16:10 But Oskar Wierzejski is prepared for it.
16:13 There were moments in this fight when he took a risk, but he won't win without it.
16:23 But I have the impression that Wierzejski is still holding on to the leash.
16:27 He's not letting go of the leash, but still controlling, left hand, striking out the concept.
16:33 As if everyone in Wierzejski's team was convinced that the moment will come
16:37 when a hard hit will hit Załuska's head and it will be over.
16:42 On the other hand, there is a point guard, so Wierzejski doesn't have a knife in his throat.
16:47 The fifth and penultimate round of this fight.
16:50 Oh, now!
16:52 It was the moment when there was a lot of space for Załuska's left hand.
16:57 Wierzejski struck with his right sherp.
17:00 But there was a lack of precision to turn the guard.
17:03 And he's getting ready for a hard hit.
17:05 I think it can also be a solution.
17:08 - Put your right hand on the left side. - Put your right hand on the left side.
17:12 - Get up, get up! - And now, please, Łukasz struck with his left hand.
17:18 - He's ready! - Left hand, put your right hand on the left side.
17:22 - Put your left hand on the left side. - Great!
17:25 - Come on, come on, don't be afraid!
17:27 - Right hand on the left side, right hand on the right side.
17:33 - Come on, come on, don't be afraid! - Right hand, right hand!
17:36 - Right hand, right hand!
17:39 - Right hand, right hand!
17:42 - Right hand, right hand!
17:45 - Right hand, right hand!
17:48 Four shots in the middle of the distance were made by Wierzejski.
17:54 But now there was no break in the pace of this over-average dynamic of blows.
17:59 Yes, and this one was a target.
18:02 But it didn't make much of an impression on Zausz.
18:06 Half of the round is behind us.
18:30 And now Zausz found a place in the ring with his right hand.
18:34 Wierzejski's left hand was low.
18:37 And Zausz gained confidence in the final phase of this rivalry,
18:41 that he can bring his right hand to Wierzejski's head
18:44 and try to reverse the fate of this duel to the very end
18:48 in response to Wierzejski's three blows and a shot through his right chin.
18:52 - Right hand, right hand!
18:55 - Together, together!
18:58 - Good, good, together!
19:01 - There's no time!
19:04 - There's no time, we have to fight in this moment!
19:07 - Right hand, right hand!
19:10 - A little bit to the right!
19:13 - Right, right!
19:16 - A little bit to the right!
19:19 - To the left, to the left!
19:22 - Right, right!
19:25 - Together, together!
19:28 And it's slowly coming to an end.
19:31 Wierzejski's fight is safe for him.
19:36 I'm curious if in the 6th round
19:39 he will show more aggressive boxing.
19:44 I'm also curious what the safety is.
19:48 Is it respect to Zausz's strength?
19:51 I don't know what's the strategy, because we can't hear the corner.
19:55 But I think there's a lot of room for more aggressive boxing.
20:03 Many actions were shown.
20:06 Double left, then right.
20:09 He's much more confident when Wierzejski attacks.
20:14 But sometimes we see him striking with a direct right.
20:18 A strong right.
20:21 A surprise attempt with a direct right.
20:24 Wierzejski wins this fight, but I have the impression
20:28 that this is not an offensive that he could offer us.
20:32 There are some reserves he hasn't used yet.
20:35 Maybe he will do it in the last 3 minutes of this fight.
20:38 Zausz is going down after every round.
20:51 He seems to be very tired.
20:54 Then a minute passes, he goes out to the ring
20:57 and he's boxing again as if he's getting tired.
21:02 A counter right hook.
21:06 And a submission.
21:09 Wierzejski's combination was one strong one.
21:13 Zausz's riposte.
21:16 Zausz's riposte.
21:19 Zausz's riposte.
21:22 Zausz's riposte.
21:25 Zausz's riposte.
21:28 Zausz's riposte.
21:31 Zausz's riposte.
21:34 Zausz's riposte.
21:37 Zausz's riposte.
21:40 Zausz's riposte.
21:43 Zausz's riposte.
21:46 Wierzejski is trying to read Zausz's plans all the time.
21:49 That's why he's using his legs to go through the right guard.
21:52 That's why he's using his legs to go through the right guard.
21:55 A left hook, but this time it's a shot.
22:09 A right hook.
22:12 Nothing's changing in Wierzejski's boxing.
22:17 And in this last bout, Zausz's more active.
22:20 And now Zausz's turn.
22:23 50 seconds left to the end of this bout.
22:46 50 seconds left to the end of this bout.
22:49 And now we can say a few words about the atmosphere around Oskar Wierzejski.
22:52 And now we can say a few words about the atmosphere around Oskar Wierzejski.
22:55 And now we can say a few words about the atmosphere around Oskar Wierzejski.
22:58 And now we can say a few words about the atmosphere around Oskar Wierzejski.
23:01 And now we can say a few words about the atmosphere around Oskar Wierzejski.
23:04 And now we can say a few words about the atmosphere around Oskar Wierzejski.
23:07 And now we can say a few words about the atmosphere around Oskar Wierzejski.
23:10 And now we can say a few words about the atmosphere around Oskar Wierzejski.
23:13 And now we can say a few words about the atmosphere around Oskar Wierzejski.
23:16 And now we can say a few words about the atmosphere around Oskar Wierzejski.
23:20 And the question is, will Wierzejski let go of the leash and look for a brawler solution?
23:27 Or will he look for it?
23:29 He's left-handed, but he didn't finish the blow, he didn't touch Wierzejski's gloves.
23:35 So, ladies and gentlemen, there will be no knockout.
23:38 Well, this right one, so definitive, was not precise enough to feel this blow from Łukasz Załuska.
23:47 And the end of the rematch between Oskar Wierzejski and Łukasz Załuska.
23:51 For the first time, one of the judges had doubts, two others pointed at Wierzejski.
23:56 Now I assume that there will be much less doubts.
23:59 No, there will be no doubts.
24:01 Of course, Wierzejski won the fight.
24:04 I think there will be no brawler here who would like to argue with this.
24:10 But I still had the impression that Wierzejski was boxing with a bit of a stretched handbrake.
24:17 I'm waiting for the moment when the situation will be absolutely obvious.
24:20 But he didn't pack himself into an avant-garde that could threaten him with anything.
24:26 I'm curious what his optics will be, because you can be dissatisfied with squeezing out a bit more from this fight.
24:34 Especially since he had all the advantages, he had the advantage of speed,
24:37 he could afford a lot of things and, contrary to appearances,
24:40 such a fast, dynamic attack was not dangerous for him.
24:44 Through the left hand to the right foot and basically that's how it was possible.
24:49 And still on the left-center back, so to speak, and so on.
24:52 So here it was possible to do it.
24:54 But let's say that the goal was to win.
24:58 He wanted to win calmly, probably he has some plans related to his future career.
25:04 So it was obvious that he was not looking for a knockout.
25:10 After the knockout victory with Górski and Eszter, another 6-round work came.
25:16 So a total of 12 rounds the gentlemen have been boxing together at this point.
25:20 And probably it will be the end of this story.
25:23 [Polish TV]
25:37 And, ladies and gentlemen, Piotr Dzięcierski is ready to read the verdict.
25:44 We should see in a moment also in the middle of the ring
25:48 both fighters are ready.
25:51 The referee is waiting for Zauske and Wierzejski.
25:59 They just have to unarm one glove.
26:04 People from the corner of the ring, and this will also happen in a moment.
26:08 And Oskar will be able to get ready.
26:10 Ladies and gentlemen, the whole trio of judges scored similarly.
26:13 Judge Godoń, Jankowiak and Moszumański - 60-54.
26:19 Unanimously, the winner is...
26:23 Oskar Wierzejski!
26:31 So 3 rounds, 6-0, 60-54.
26:35 This is a fair verdict, full agreement with the judges.
26:39 Oskar Wierzejski has controlled this fight from A to Z.
26:42 from the first to the last.
