Wach landed some big punches in the 4th. Fields won't be able to take many more of those.

Wach wins by KO 6.

I was impressed with the way Wach put together his punches for the stoppage.

Oh well, fun while it lasted. Would like to see Wach on US TV against a top 10 guy next.

Here's the KO by Wach:

And here's an article from ESPN:

Mariusz Wach KOs Tye Fields

http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/i...-kos-tye-fields-wbc-international-title-fight
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Mariusz Wach stood tall in a casino ballroom, clutching his WBC title high over his head, and enjoying the moment with dozens of Polish countrymen who crashed the party.

"Polska! Polska! Polska!"

The post-fight chant was the same raucous one that greeted Wach as he made his entrance for his international heavyweight bout. Wach gave his fans a reason to celebrate, punishing Tye Fields with a serious of blows to the head before finishing him off in the sixth round Saturday to retain his title.

"I felt there was no way in hell you can beat me over here with my crowd and my people," Wach said.

He was right.

Wach (27-0, 15 KOs) was never seriously hurt by Fields. Wach unloaded a series of lefts and rights at the head, caught Fields with one final right and sent him into the ropes and face first onto the canvas. Fields (49-5, 44 KOs) made it to his knees but could not get up at 1:44 of the round.
About 900 of the roughly 1,000 fans inside Resorts Hotel and Casino cheered on Wach, making for a lively atmosphere for the late-afternoon card. They chanted, sang songs, and appeared to be yelling encouragement at Wach in their native tongue. Wach, who now lives in New Jersey, had them all come along for the party in the back.

"As soon as I came out of the door of the arena, I see all the people," Wach said. "Everybody wants to touch me, everybody was cheering me. I was trying to stay focused. Stay focused on my opponent, stay focused on my game plan. It is really very hard with the people singing so loud. Everybody wants to grab you and touch you."
Wach, who didn't head to the locker room or hold a formal press conference, snapped photos with fans wearing a red cowboy hat with "Polska!" on the front. The post-fight party, which, of course, included lots of singing, was wildly more entertaining than the fight.

After a methodical first four rounds, Fields took a beating in the fifth. Wach targeted Fields' face for most of the fight, bloodied his nose and left him staggering in the fifth. The 6-foot-7 Wach won his seventh straight bout by knockout or TKO in a streak that dates to 2009.

"I got away from my game plan," Fields said. "I thought I could tie him up, but he caught me with a right hand and put me on the ground. When I tried to get up, I was pretty wobbly. I knew coming in he was a great boxer. I wish him the best."

Wach said through a translator he knew he was going to get stronger as the fight went on.
Fields and Wach were once roommates when they served as sparring partners for heavyweight Samuel Peter. The win moves Wach closer to a potential heavyweight title fight against Vitali or Wladimir Klitschko.

Wach said he would take a week off before he starts training for his next fight.

Andrew Golota, who lost four heavyweight title fights, sat ringside for most of the slate.
On the undercard, Artur Szpilka (10-0, eight KOs) defeated Terrance Marbra (6-2, five KOs) in the first round. Also from Poland, Szpilka spoke Polish to the crowd after the fight, sending the fans into a frenzy.

What's going on with Wach?

"Promoter Gary Shaw and HBO thought they had a deal for heavyweight Mariusz Wach to face American up-and-comer Bryant Jennings on Jan. 18 -- until Wach and promoter Global Boxing Promotions pulled out on Friday.

Shaw told ESPN.com that he has “no clueâ€￾ why Wach and his team pulled out of the fight..."

It's not listed on BoxRec.

BoxRec only put the fights on their schedule when contacted by the promoters or managers.

I knew 14 hours ago Tyson Fury is fighting Omar Basile on Feb 15, but I see they don't have it on BoxRec yet.

But the volunteers at BoxRec do a great job, I'm grateful for them.
