From Eastside boxing today.
In the co-feature bout, undefeated up-and-coming prospect Ryan “The Polish Prince†Kielczweski made a major statement that he is someone to watch in the super featherweight division with a spectacular one-punch KO over Puerto Rican knockout artist Miguel “Mikito†Soto, who entered the ring at 11-0 (11 KO’s).
Kielczweski, a former amateur standout, was celebrating his 24th birthday and fighting on national TV for the first time. Over five rounds, he looked absolutely sensational as he systematically broke down Soto.
Kielczweski came out for round one using beautiful footwork and boxing from the outside behind a stiff jab. It was a bit of a feeling-out round with Kielczweski looking to find his range.
In the second, Soto came out fast and looked to trap Kielczweski in the corner and unload a barrage of punches, but Kielczweski showed little concern and even shot his opponent a smile. Midway through the round, Kielczweski began landing a beautiful straight right hand for which Soto seemed to have no answer.
By the third round, Kielczweski was having his way with Soto, landing hard right hands followed by a short left hook that began to cause swelling around his foe’s right eye. Toward the end of the stanza, Kielczweski hurt Soto with a vicious combination to the body.
Soto’s eye had started to become grotesque by round four, as Kielczweski continued to pound away with both hands. Kielczweski was now timing Soto’s charges and landing a vicious right uppercut that visibly hurt him time and again.
In the fifth round, with Kielczweski sensing his opponent was ready to go, he began to let his hands go even more, landing almost at will. Just as the 10-second bell sounded, Kielczweski landed a monstrous left hook that sent Soto crashing down to the canvas face first. The referee didn’t even bother to count and immediately waved off the bout.
The official time of the stoppage was 2:59 of round five. With the win, Kielczweski improves to 17-0 (4KO’s) and truly emerges as someone to watch in the super featherweight division.
