Kacper Meyna wins  WBC Francophone title by KO

In an all Polish heavyweight bout, Kacper Meyna (11-1, 7KOs) captured the WBC Francophone title by defeating Krzysztof Twardowski (10-5,7KOs) by ninth-round knockout.

Twardowski’s strategy was to move, jab and try to avoid trading power punches, as Meyna had a weight advantage of close to 20 kg (44 lb) and was coming off four quick stoppage wins.

With this approach, Twardowski did reduce the dangerous moments and had some positive results with sharp jabs, but overall he lost rounds and couldn’t match his opponent’s work rate. With his with haymakers and imposing his power during sporadic moments in short-medium distance, Meyna connected the most significant punches against a too cautious Twardowski, who used his right hand very little.

In the ninth round Meyna landed a hard overhead right and a straight left that sent Twardowski to the canvas. The boxer was rocked by hooks to the head after the restart before the Referee stopped the fight.
