Danish
super featherweight prospect Kim “Golden Boy” Poulsen
improved his record to 5-1 (1) with a shutout (40-36 X 3) unanimous
decision-victory over previously undefeated Polish hope Tomasz Kwiecien
(1-0) Saturday night (29.10) in Soumagne, Belgium. Poulsen delivered
probably his best performance to date, in what was his first televised
fight. The show, promoted by EuroBoxe in associated with Fight
Production, was broadcasted live in Belgium.
An
aggressive Poulsen started the fight by taking control with sharp
combinations to body and head, and forced his opponent backwards.
Several times in each round the Dane went effectively to the body of his
taller foe, and followed with excellent hooks to the head, which had
Kwiecien’s head snapping back violently. The Pole showed magnificent
durability in not going down, and must have earned the respect of
everyone watching.
The
20-year-old Risum Boxing-fighter combined his attacks with very good
foot and head-movement, avoiding almost all of Kwiecien’s punches in a
performance close to perfection. But only “close to”, says manager
Henrik Risum:
“Kim really boxed
nice, and had Kwiecien staggering several times in the fight, but when
he hurt him he made the mistake of getting over-excited in going for the
knockout. That’s probably why he didn’t actually get the knockout,
which would have made the performance perfect. Had the fight been a
six-rounder, which we wanted but the Poles didn’t, I don’t think it
would have gone the distance. However, Kwiecien is a good fighter, and
he came to fight his chance and was very durable. Many boxers would have
gone down, and stayed down, after being hit with some of the punches Kim
hit him with, but he just came back punching, so we have a lot of
respect for him,” said Risum.
The
winner was also satisfied with the fight, saying:
“This
guy was hard to hit to the head because of his height, but still I
managed to do it many times with my hooks, so I cant complain. He is a
tough guy, and I take my hat off to him. I am pleased with how I boxed,
because I got to use some of the things we have been working on in the
gym, and it came out pretty good in the fight. I look forward to the
next one…”
Risum
Boxing is working on the next date for Poulsen, which will probably be
some time in November.
