Walt Harris vs Marcin Tybura: Analysis

Harris has fast hands and possesses legitimate knockout power in the first round of the fight. But Tybura has made a habit of beating fighters of the same caliber as Harris. He has a good chin and a weird way of defending shots that seem to work in his favor.

Also, ‘Big Ticket‘ has a big problem with his cardio. That has been more than evident from his recent fights. He gasses out after letting his hands go for a flurry of punches once or twice.
