British specialists working for Sky Sports were surprised by the quick defeat at an evening in Rzeszow on Saturday Alena Babich (11-1, 10 KOs) in a duel with Lukash Ruzhansky (15-0, 14 KOs) for the WBC world champion title in bridger weight. The Croatian lost by knockout in the first round.
“Babich hesitated, should he box or fight? This was a shock to Babich, who felt the strength and pressure he usually exerts on others. It was a very hard lesson for him. He met the Tasmanian devil in Rzeszow and was not ready for it. Babich expected to put pressure on Ruzhansky and beat him, but when he missed the first blow, it was clear that he was dumbfounded, confused, ”said Johnny Nelson, longtime world heavyweight champion.
“Ruzhansky hit quickly and didn’t let Babich go for a moment. The Croatian desperately dodged the blows, but Ruzhansky skillfully spent a series of finishing moves. It was a short but amazing fight. Babich came out and tried to box, but Ruzhansky immediately went ahead. Babich usually enters the fight this way, but today he died from his own weapon, ”said former European champion Olivier Spencer.
“If the fight had to end quickly, I thought it would be Babich's victory. Ruzhansky brutally earned a name for himself. Let's see what Babich will do now. Will he stay with the new coach? Will he continue boxing or will he become "The Savage" again? asked the reigning European light heavyweight champion Dan Aziz.
