Dawid Kostecki (37-1, 24 KO) added another win to his record, outpointing rugged Lolenga Mock (30-13-1, 12 KO) in 10 rounds. Fight took place in Rzeszów, headlining Wojak Boxing Night. Popular ''Gypsy'' showed improved tactical and technical approach, being able to control the fight by good movement and sharp counters, although fight was very competitive due to Danish-based fighter's experience, which allowed him to land some dangerous overhand rights. One of these punches caught Kostecki off-balance in the 9th round and ''Gypsy'' went down on canvas. It was a scary moment but Dawid wasn't seriously hurt and managed to regain his composure, fiercely attacking in the 10th. Judges scorecards were: 99-91 and 97-92 twice - all for ''Gypsy''. It was a classy display of all-around skill, yet there are still questions to be asked about Kostecki's future. He simply needs to fight better people. 

One fighter who really impressed on that night was Artur Szpilka (6-0, 4 KO), coming back after doing time. His unbeaten opponent Ramiz Hadziaganovic (8-1, 7 KO) lasted nearly 30 seconds - ''Szpila'' knocked him out cold with perfectly placed short right hook. Many experts in Poland are predicting big things for Szpilka and he's recently getting a lot of public attention. His next fight will be in US, a good chance for a gifted southpaw boxer-puncher to impress American fans.
