00:00Yes, for Łocz it's not a big problem to fight with fighters who are much taller than him, because he's been fighting like this his whole life, and he can win effectively with them.
00:13So far, Bilas has won 6 fights in professional rings, all of them by knockout.
00:19His opponent was Olimier Kaciuk, 4 wins, 0 losses, but only 1 win ahead of time.
00:27Mikołajewski's puncher, but he's already started.
00:32Oh, he started with a decisive attack, Łocz.
00:35Well, as we said 108.21, as if he wasn't 3 cm taller than Mike Tyson.
00:41He said that he feels great before this fight.
00:45He has very good sparrings, because he trained with Mariusz Bach, Damian Knyba, so with these big guys, to adapt to the size of the Ukrainian.
00:54I've never been so fast in my career, said Łocz, so this speed should be a factor, we hope so.
01:03Which will be the foundation of Łocz's performance.
01:07Yes, he can find himself in the middle of the distance, and then he's very dangerous, because he hits hard on the bottom, hits hard on the top.
01:18Oh, now somewhere there, the right hook, he got a bit carried away by the Ukrainian's gloves.
01:31Well, he's trying to do these moves with his head, right, left, at this half-distance entrance, to limit the possibility of a longer punch.
01:44Very strong legs.
01:46Athletically, absolutely, Piotr Łącz is built, a bit like a truck driver, these legs.
02:01Both are similar in weight, because Kaciuk 105 kg, Łącz 200 kg heavier.
02:09Yes, of course, in the case of the Ukrainian 105 kg, with the parameters of 2 meters height, it doesn't make a big difference.
02:18Now Kaciuk's hands are quite fast.
02:21This left hand is quite dangerous, that's why it's worth being close, so that Kaciuk can't let go of the left straight.
02:29Kaciuk is going to protect his head, if he lifts his guard high, he'll have a chance to hit the body.
02:42Kaciuk has to break the tempo, so the movement of the head has to be the same.
03:01Kaciuk liked, I had a chance to watch him a few times, he liked the lazy tempo of the fight.
03:08And here he can't afford such laziness, and I think he came out with such an attitude.
03:14It's going to be 6 rounds, so Kaciuk shouldn't have any experience from the Olympic rings, from these sparrings, with such a distance, a special problem.
03:25And if he's going to fight at such a pace, I don't think it's going to be 6 rounds, we'll see.
03:36Kaciuk, the bronze medalist of the Ukrainian championship from 2012.
03:42From 2013 he also lost the bronze medal in the semifinals to Viktor Vyhrys.
03:48Well known to us, Vyhrys, a few years later, in 2017, in Krakow, he became the European champion, winning the final, if I remember correctly, with Frederick Clark.
04:01Mariusz Wach shows that he's ok, because Mariusz Wach seconds Piotr Łącz and convinces us that everything is ok, that everything is fine, of course.
04:09We believe, Mariusz.
04:10We believe, it's hard not to believe Mariusz.
04:12For Kaciuk, this fight is also a big chance, because his career in Poland was carried out, although the last fight in Ukraine, but it was carried out a bit without a team, so he probably assumes that there is a lot to win in a possible fight with Łącz.
04:39But Łącz does not intend to turn his head, because he does what he loves to do, so half distance, so bombardment of Kaciuk's body.
04:49Exactly, bombardment, Kaciuk is already moving his arms, you can see that his muscles are pumped up, his right calf is already going up.
05:00So...
05:05Now it's better, Kaciuk found a place under his right elbow.
05:10But the answer is in the same place, specific to Łącz.
05:14I think Kaciuk's body is already starting to hurt, because he reacted quite nervously to Łącz's punch.
05:21Now it's a moment of rest.
05:27Now the underarm punches.
05:37Kaciuk is not used to fighting in this form.
05:39Yes.
05:41It's clear that the tempo, now another good action from the defense.
05:48As for these two meters of height, he has quite fast hands, what I said in the first fight with Kaciuk.
05:55But I can see that this process of striking all the time from Łącz's side is still going on.
06:02It's a nice double right, one more right punch to the body.
06:06One more time.
06:12Kaciuk took a deep breath again.
06:17These punches are already going to the body.
06:20And when they go to the body, it means that his neck will fall a little lower.
06:25And there will be a place to shoot a powerful bomb up.
06:30This place is already reddened in the vicinity of Kaciuk's left elbow, because there Łącz is looking for his chances non-stop.
06:39Well, it certainly seems to me that Łącz is better for Kaciuk, because he would be able to go to the counter-attack, but he is not.
06:46Exactly, because he does not give him such opportunities, he does not give him space, he has done all of Łącz's task.
06:52And so, above all, to remove pressure.
06:56Kaciuk in the middle of the ring, if he had space, he would be boxing from the middle of the left straight, but he can't do something like that in this fight.
07:0325 seconds until the end of the second round.
07:10One more right to the body under the left elbow.
07:13All the time hitting the body.
07:16The Ukrainian is now trying to hit the opponent nicely.
07:21And there you go.
07:27Stop!
07:29Oh, the second round did not go to his corner, Kaciuk is already so twisted.
07:36He had to show it to Łącz.
07:38Friend, go to the other side.
07:42This is not your corner.
07:44It should be remembered that Łącz has a very modest experience in Olympic boxing, because it is suddenly 17 fights,
07:50and in these 17 fights it is possible, among others, to knock out Oskar Safarian, an even taller guy than Vladimir Kaciuk.
07:57But he has a lot of experience from these sparrings in June, because here was Gnyba, here was Wach, great sparring partners,
08:04and earlier he had the opportunity to compete with Artur Szpilko and Marcin Siw, with Jakub Sosiński.
08:10So basically, Piotr Łącz has already visited our entire national heavyweight front.
08:17And Kaciuk, ladies and gentlemen, as you said, in 2019 he started his professional career in Łącz with Igor Pelipienko.
08:27He won a 4-round fight there, later with Mateusz Rybalski, in Starachowice also.
08:32A fight at full distance, 6 rounds, another fight with Czarniakiewicz, with Bialorosin, 4 rounds, points.
08:40It was his first win in a while.
08:42This year, in May, in 170 kg, Zytomierz is clearly tired.
08:50Kaciuk with these blows, especially on Łącz's body, because we pay close attention to that.
08:57Kaciuk doesn't even offer us those quick hands anymore.
09:02Well, Kaciuk is trying, from time to time, this left hook on the liver, under the right elbow of Łącz.
09:10He's trying to stop it, and now, good, that right hook.
09:19So he's still a dangerous Ukrainian. I have the impression that Łącz has slowed him down a bit.
09:25He has, evidently.
09:27At the end of the 2nd round, Piotr Wilczewski kept telling him to regulate his breath, to catch his strength.
09:34Łącz felt that there could be a slight crisis in the 3rd round.
09:43With this style of fight, Łącz needs to have an absolutely strong lungs, and strength to box very intensively all the time.
09:50Because for that, Łącz is doomed in these physical conditions.
09:54That's right, when you're trying to beat these big guys, sometimes you need a bit of time.
10:14Now, there wasn't much left, he threw out this right hook.
10:18And he hit Łącz with his right. Kaciuk took a step back, but I think he regained his reason.
10:25Well, you can see that these attempts of a sudden move to attack Łącz also cost him a lot, physically.
10:35He himself said that he chose the most difficult opponent proposed by Jacek Szerengowski,
10:41and he just wanted to test himself in the ring after these 6 fights with rivals who are generally weak.
10:53But Kaciuk responds to these blows.
11:12Maybe Łącz also stiffened up a bit during these attacks.
11:16And it always costs more energy.
11:19What's different are the sparrings, and what's different is the real fight.
11:24Yes, now a right stomp, a right clap.
11:27Kaciuk for the end of this 3rd round.
11:30But you can see that Łącz is very tired, he's going to the corner.
11:35Suddenly, it seems like the electricity cut him off a bit.
11:41I had a chance to meet Łącz in 2019 in Kolomyja.
11:45Back then, in Ukraine, Poles were training.
11:48Ivan Juszczenko was the head coach at the time.
11:51Mateusz Masternak was also in the team.
11:54And there was also Ryszard Lewicki, who told me about it.
11:59There's a guy like that here.
12:01Mateusz Masternak would have left the camp the same way.
12:04No, he finished the camp. He had a crisis.
12:07But I know that he complained a lot about Juszczenka.
12:10Yes, he had enough of it.
12:13But generally speaking, there's a guy like that in Łącz's seminar,
12:16but he had a serious problem with his shoulder.
12:18Yes, Łącz was basically one-armed.
12:22But Mateusz was also paying attention to Łącz's strength.
12:28But now Łącz will need his condition,
12:31because we're entering the second part of the competition.
12:35The 4th round of a duel of two undefeated,
12:38Łącz 6-0, Kacjuk 4-0.
12:45Yes, the 4th round of a duel of two undefeated.
13:00Yes, I think that Kacjuk is more afraid of single blows
13:04from Łącz, because he's like a cannonade.
13:07If Kacjuk would have a single blow,
13:10he would be able to finish him off.
13:23Yes, Kacjuk is a bit anemic,
13:26but he's able to finish him off.
13:29Yes, a single blow from Kacjuk.
13:32And when he hits, he speeds up Łącz.
13:35These moments are short,
13:38when he speeds up a bit.
13:41Every time there's a bit more space,
13:44when you can use your reach,
13:47then the blows look better done by Kacjuk.
13:54And Piotr Łącz is struggling to the pin.
13:57Kacjuk is taking it easy with his single blows.
14:00Yes, and he's not getting tired of it.
14:06Yes, now the right one was nice,
14:09hit on the body by Łącz.
14:12But a lot of these blows,
14:15in this duel, hit the target.
14:18But they didn't impress Kacjuk much.
14:21They didn't impress Kacjuk much.
14:24They didn't impress Kacjuk much.
14:27At the end of the second round,
14:30he was going through a difficult moment,
14:33when he was taking blows on the body.
14:36But it was a while ago,
14:39and he regained his strength.
14:42Yes, and he has these moments of acceleration.
14:45Yes, and now Łącz is hitting the right arm.
14:49Yes, and Kacjuk is asking to hit the right arm,
14:52as the Polish corner kickers are shouting.
14:55Yes, and Kacjuk's left arm
14:58is falling down quite clearly,
15:01and he needs to take advantage of this moment.
15:04Yes, and now I see,
15:07that Łącz is trying to hit the right arm.
15:10Yes, and now I see,
15:13that Łącz is trying to hit the right arm.
15:19Kacjuk is also an interesting case,
15:22because he seems to be extremely tired,
15:25and suddenly the tempo breaks,
15:28which is difficult to locate for Łącz.
15:31Kacjuk's body is too tense,
15:34and there is nothing to pay attention to.
15:37Yes, because he doesn't lose his arm speed,
15:40or the speed of the blow.
15:43Now we see how Piotr Łącz returns to his corner.
15:46He is really very tired.
15:55Two rounds left to finish this fight.
15:59Coach Łukasz Prudny,
16:02this is the main coach of Piotr Łącz.
16:05Piotr Winczewski is one of the assistants.
16:16And now the fifth round.
16:30And the fifth, the penultimate fight in the heavyweight division.
16:41Yes, and now the right, sharp,
16:45expressive right arm of Łącz at the beginning of the fifth round.
16:49Kacjuk is in danger,
16:52because he failed to straighten the right arm of Łącz.
16:55Another right.
17:14Rest.
17:38Piotr Łącz is to start the fight from the right, sharp arm.
17:41Kacjuk was warned not to stop with the chin-up.
17:44Unless Kacjuk will just stick together,
17:47then it makes sense.
17:50But I see that he resisted the chin-up.
17:53And I think that this fight in the area of the right ear,
17:56as in this moment,
17:59may be more effective.
18:11Rest.
18:41Rest, rest, rest.
19:11Rest, rest, rest.
19:41And we didn't see Kacjuk
19:44on the edge of the knockout.
19:553 minutes left
19:58for Łącz and Kacjuk
20:01to finish this fight.
20:04We have to remember that Łącz
20:07stopped his rivals in the second round.
20:10He got a bit different rival,
20:13more hardened,
20:16who got used to his strength.
20:23Last heavyweight fight.
20:26Piotr Łącz vs Włodymir Kacjuk.
20:32Maybe Łącz will tear himself,
20:35knowing that these are the last 3 minutes.
20:38We will see him in this turbo-offensive version,
20:41as it was in the first and the second round.
20:44I think that in the early phase of the last fight,
20:47but for now, Kacjuk tries to keep the distance
20:50with his punches.
20:53He knows that he would need
20:56some kind of a shock
20:59to make up for the losses.
21:09Of course, Łącz knows
21:12that he can't forget about the defense.
21:15So the guard has to be
21:18as tight as possible.
21:21That's right, as Kacjuk
21:24will still take a risk.
21:273-0 for Łącz.
21:30I think that Kacjuk suggests a headbutt.
21:39A direct right from Kacjuk.
21:42That was an interesting solution.
21:45He marked the work with his left hand,
21:48but he only used his right fist.
21:51You can still see that...
21:54Oh, a left hook!
21:57But he managed to clinch it
22:00in the right moment.
22:03He showed the audience that he wasn't injured,
22:07and now he regained his strength.
22:10That's the moment!
22:13When he was bleeding, he regained his strength.
22:1670 seconds left
22:19before the end of the fight.
22:22But for now, Kacjuk has to
22:25regulate his breath.
22:28He's exhausted.
22:3160 seconds is the end of the fight.
22:35But Kacjuk is still trying to give up.
22:38I think that he's going to be
22:41trying to reverse the fate of this fight.
22:44He's trying to run away,
22:47but he found a place on the body again.
22:50Łącz.
22:53Kacjuk's eyes are making an impression.
22:56Now he has to...
22:59Oh, that's right!
23:03Now it's dangerous.
23:06It's good that Łącz
23:09turned his head away, but it was dangerous.
23:12His hands were low.
23:15Luckily, Łącz reacted to the defense.
23:18The last seconds.
23:21In a moment, the audience will hear the signal.
23:24Oh, another action.
23:27There will be no knockout in this fight.
23:31For the first time, Łącz had the opportunity
23:34to prove himself at a longer distance.
23:37He boxed 6 rounds and came back
23:40murdered to his red corner, Piotr Łącz.
23:43But a good lesson.
23:46A good lesson, he generated some emotions.
23:49Kacjuk also wrote himself down in his role.
23:54But the basic thing is
23:57physical and motor skills.
24:00Here, Łącz had to have it perfectly solved
24:03to box like he did in the first and second round.
24:06Otherwise, there is nothing to look for.
24:12The audience is satisfied.
24:15About 200 fans of Piotr Łącz
24:18came to the arena in this fight.
24:28He complained a lot.
24:31At some point, Kacjuk hit him in the head.
24:34I don't know what he wanted to force.
24:42For a moment, Piotr Łącz was so tired.
24:50But when Piotr Łącz released his hand,
24:53it could have cost him a lot.
24:57He could have hit him in the head.
25:11I wonder where Piotr Łącz's tiredness came from.
25:14After two rounds.
25:17Is it the pressure from the fight?
25:20The sparrings were fine,
25:23but in the fight, the energy ran away.
25:26Piotr Łącz wanted to finish the fight.
25:29Later, in the second round.
25:34It was a sprint, but a fast one.
25:37He wanted a point.
25:48I don't know what Kacjuk is waiting for.
25:56The unanimous winner
25:59in this fight is
26:02Piotr Łącz!
