BIGGER’S BETTER 22 POLAND COMPLETE FIGHT CARD !
TOMASZ SARARA – POLAND
Des trois polonais présents dans le tournoi, Sarara est le plus capé en pieds-poings avec pas moins de 139 combats dans la spécialité. Son gabarit, somme toute imposant (190 103) pourrait lui permettre de s’exprimer pleinement car ni trop lourd, ni trop léger. Son background en kickboxing fait de lui le candidat privilégié de l’esprit du Bigger’s Better. En plus, le bougre évolue à domicile. De quoi motiver un homme sûr de sa victoire.
Besides his two fellow polish contestants in the tournament, Tomasz Sarara is the more experienced fighter in kickboxing, with 139 fights in the game. His stats, quite impressive could allow him to express fully his skills, since he’s not too light and not too heavy. His background in kickboxing builds him as the real contestant of the spirit of the BBB. Plus, he is at home, which can be a serious advantage for a motivated champ who’s sure he’ll get the win.
WOJCIECH JASTRZEBSKI – POLAND
Le polonais a un avantage indéniable par rapport à ses concurrents. Il a déjà l’expérience du BBB puisqu’il y a effectué 6 combats, se soldant sur 4 victoires et 2 défaites. Plus lourd que Sarara et Malujda, il voudra prendre la suprématie polonaise. De plus, il alterne souvent entre anglaise et pieds-poings, histoire de toucher un peu à tout dans le domaine de la boxe et aller se frotter à un grand nombre d’adversaires.
The polish dude has an undeniable advantage comparing to the 7 other boxers of the tournament. He already fought for the BBB since he boxed there 6 matches, including 4 wins. Heavier than Sarara or Malujda, his aim will clearly to win and get the polish domination. He is regularly mixing with boxing and kickboxing, trying to appear everywhere in the circuit and challenging as many fighters as can be.
MATEUZS MALUJDA – POLAND
Le troisième polonais du tournoi voudra faire mentir les idées préconçues. Plus petit que beaucoup, pas forcément plus barraqué, il voudra compter sur une mobilité surement supérieure pour semer le trouble dans l’esprit de ses adversaires. Egalement, il sera à domicile, un avantage non négligeable. IL voudra aussi effacer ses défaites au BB contre les français Nicolas Wamba et Fabrice Aurieng.
The third polish of the tournamentt has the aim to erase the ideas around him. Smaller than many others, not really bigger, he will count on his mobility to try surprising his opponents and make them think “oh it won’t be easy”. A t home, he will have an advantage too and he’ll do his best to forget his previous defeats in the org against the frenchies Nicolas Wamba and Fabrice Aurieng.
IULIAN ILIE – ROMANIA
Le roumain a un pedigree épatant qui fait de lui un candidat sérieux au titre. En effet, s’il ne sera ps le boxeur le plus impressionnant physiquement de la soirée, il sera l’un de ceux qui a le palmarès le plus étoffé, avec plus de 1898 combats d’anglaise et 18 combats professionnels, auréolé de plusieurs titres de champion de Roumanie. A 36 ans, il compte bien revêtir la ceinture.
The romanian champion has an incredible pedigree which increases him as a real serious contender for the title. Though, he won’t be the most impressive boxer of the night, but he’ll definitely be one with a huge palmares, including 189 fights in boxing and 18 in professional boxing, winning many Romanian championships titles. At 36 yo, he has no other aim than taking the belt.
TOMAS MOZNY . SLOVAKIA
Attention à ce géant slovaque de 2m02 qui touche tout, même au MMA (1 combat où il a été disqualifié). Le plus grand du gala voudra imposer son physique et son allonge pour annihiler toute tentative adverse de le mettre à terre. De plus, la fougue de la jeunesse (21 ans) aura clairement envie de terrasser la sagesse des plus anciens ; Arm2 d’un solide pieds-poings, il faudra compter, sans nul doute, sur ce jeune espoir.
Warning ! Watch out this slovakian, a giant reaching 2,02 meters and who’s dealing with many disciplines, even MMA (he has been disqualified in his only pro fight though). The tallest fighter of the tournament will try to oppose his reach for preventing any adversary attempt to beat him. His youth will also be interesting to see against older and more experienced boxers. But with his strong kickboxing background, we certainly have to count on his uprising champion.
ROBERT TEUBER – GERMANY
Les allemands sont toujours parmi les plus dangereux du circuit. Robert Teuber est redouté sur le circuit, en témoignent ses 7 KO en boxe anglaise professionnelle. Ni trop jeune, ni trop vieux, avec un physique intermédiaire, il visera à s’adapter au style des adversaires qui lui seront proposés. Demi-finaliste lors du BB 13, il cherchera clairement à gravir un échelon supplémentaire.
German boxers have always been part of the most dangerous fighters of combat sports. Robert Teuber is well known in the rings and he’s kind of a threat for many, such as his 7 KOS in professional boxing witness it. Not too young, nor too old, with intermediate stats, he will look to deal with his opponents styles. As a semi-finalist of BBB 13’s edition, he wants nothing else than doing better than last year.
ADAM LAZAREVIC – SWEDEN
Pour le suédois, c’est du côté du muay thai qu’il faut regarder. Champion de Suède de la spécialité, il débarque en Pologne, sans aucun doute, pour faire des ravages. Dur au mal, prêt au combat, il comptera sur son état d’esprit lié à sa discipline ancestrale pour faire plier ses adversaires et montrer que la Suède n’est pas que le pays d’Ikea. Clairement, ce prodige scandinave fait partie de cette nouvelle génération de vikings qui n’ont peur de rien.
For the swede, we have to look at muaythai to see his success. Champion of Sweden, he lands in Poland, without a doubt, to devastate the other fighters. Tough, ready to fight, his spirit comes from the ancestral aspect of thai boxing and he has no other goal than beating the others up and show that Sweden is not only Ikea furniture makers. Clearly, this Scandinavian prodigee belongs to this new generation of Viking. Nothing scares them!
SUDA LUBOS – CZECH REPUBLIC
Pitbull est un un excellent combattant, très capé en anglaise et en muay thai qui sera le plus petit de la soirée. Attention, il cherchera surement à casser la distance et venir danser au corps à corps avec ses adversaires. L’expérience et sa popularité font de lui un sérieux prétendant au titre.
Pitbull, is an excellent fighter, heavily experienced in boxing and muay thai boxing! He is the smallest of the night. Careful, he will probably try to dance close with his opponents and don’t let them rule with the distance. His popularity and his experience build him as serious candidate for the title.

MY NIGHT IN THE RING WITH DANNY GARCIA AND ZAB JUDAH
By Steve Smoger as told to Doveed Linder
Referee Steve Smoger discusses his experience as the third man in the ring for last Saturday’s fight between world junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia and former two-division champion Zab Judah, a fight that Garcia won via unanimous decision.
STEVE SMOGER:
Going into the bout between Danny Garcia and Zab Judah, I was aware that there were some issues between the two camps. From what I had been told, this fight was very personal and that the two camps nearly came to blows on a few occasions. As a referee, you have to be aware of the history of the two fighters going into a major bout like this, both with any pre-fight tension that may have occurred, and with the way they have conducted themselves in the ring in previous fights. But at the same time, you have to allow the fighters to have a clean slate, without penalizing them for something that may have occurred at the press conference. I had previously worked with both Danny and Zab on two separate occasions, notably Danny’s 2009 fight against Enrique Colin in Philadelphia [on Bernard Hopkins-Enrique Ornelas undercard] and Zab’s fight with Jan Piet Bergman in 2000 for the IBF junior welterweight title. I had also been following their careers as a fan and was very impressed with Danny’s knockout of Amir Khan and Zab’s recent stoppage of Vernon Paris. So, I had done my homework and I was aware of the tendencies of both fighters.
When I went into the dressing rooms of the fighters to give the pre-fight instructions, I knew I had to set the tone and let them know that I expected a clean fight. In a situation like this, I generally don’t like to act like a hard-nosed authority figure. In my experience, you can get the most out of a fighter by showing him mutual respect. Before the fight, I went into Danny’s dressing room with Melvina Lathan, the Chairwoman of the New York State Athletic Commission, along with Carlos Chavez, the supervisor from the WBA, and Chuck Williams, the supervisor from the WBC. I have been in Danny’s company on prior occasions and I had never seen him this intense. He didn’t say two words the whole time I was in there. His hands were being wrapped and we had minimal eye contact. I went over the rules and he had no comment. I shook hands with his father Angel and that was it. By the way, Angel and I have an excellent rapport. As colorful as he can be at the press conferences, in every instance I have worked with him, he has never been anything but professional, courteous, and cooperative. We then went into Zab’s dressing room, which was strategically placed at the opposite end of the hallway. The idea was to make sure that there were no confrontations between the two camps before the fight. Zab’s dressing room had a much lighter atmosphere. Zab brought up that I had worked his fight with Bergman at the Mohegan Sun. I said, “You have a good memory, Zab.” We went over the rules. I asked him if he had any questions and he said, “I’m ready to go. I’m gonna knock him out.” At that, I left the dressing room and waited in the official’s dressing room until it was time to get in the ring.
With all of the pre-fight concerns, there were no problems during the fight whatsoever. The two fighters showed nothing but consummate professionalism. On several occasions, when either fighter landed a clean punch, they smiled at each other, which I viewed as a sign of mutual respect. Danny came on very strong in the early rounds. He was the aggressor and he appeared to be the stronger of the two. He hurt Zab on a few occasions and it seemed that his youth and enthusiasm would prevail. Although Zab was wobbled, at no point did he appear to be in any danger. His body language suggested to me that he still had his bearings. He was always very reactive and very responsive.
And in the later rounds, he started coming on! He offset Garcia’s youth and determination with his experience and craftsmanship. For a while there he looked like the same Zab Judah who fought Cory Spinks and Floyd Mayweather. However, it was too little too late and Danny went on to win the decision. Needless to say, this was an encouraging night for both fighters. Danny proved once again that he is a true champion and Zab showed that he is still a legitimate force. Both fighters showed a lot of heart and it was the type of fight that made me proud to be the third man in the ring. When you have two fighters who give it their all and leave nothing to chance, both guys come out as winners. This is why we watch boxing – because of fights like Garcia-Judah.
