MASTERNAK WINS JANIK

In a heated cross-roader between two unbeaten cruiserweights, younger and technically sounder Mateusz Masternak (15-0, 10 KOs) stopped Lukasz Janik (15-1, 8 KOs) in five round. Janik tried to apply his usual aggressive style from the outset but his pressure was far from being smart. At the end of round one, Masternak dropped Janik for the first time. Both fighters engaged it in the second but Masternak, working from the distance, was just a slightly better man in the ring. Janik had some success in rounds three and four. In the fifth stanza, both fighters engaged in some heated encounters and during the last minute Masternak dropped his foe once again with the counter left hook to the jaw. Janik was able to get himself up but was unsteady enough for referee to stop the contest with forty seconds remaining. Huge win for 22-year old Wroclaw native.
