The Pole ended the German streak. Sęk won inside the distance

Dariusz Sęk (23-2-1, 8 KOs) and Shefat Isufi (17-3-2, 13 KOs) met in the main event of a professional boxing show in Munich. At stake was the WBC EPBC regional light heavyweight title. The trophy does not carry much prestige, but it guarantees a place in the WBC rankings. The Pole did not disappoint. He boxed very well and stopped his opponent on his home turf.

Andrzej Gmitruk's charge came out attacking from the opening bell. He looked for hooks to the body and maintained the distance well with a long right straight. In the first round, he also landed an impressive left uppercut. The Serbian, who lives permanently in Germany, occasionally tried to throw powerful hooks, but most of them cut through the air. In the second round, Sęk was caught off guard by the ropes, but he quickly responded and regained control of the action in the ring.

In the third round, Isufi beat Darek to the punch with their right hands, but the Pole countered twice with a short right hook. “You need to keep the distance a little longer,” coach Gmitruk advised from the corner. The fourth round followed a similar pattern. Sęk boxed better, but his opponent landed one very dangerous right hook. Surprisingly, all the judges scored the round for Isufi. Two of them gave it to him by one point, while the third scored it by two.

From the beginning of the fifth round, Darek charged forward aggressively. He focused primarily on pounding his opponent's torso. He already knew that the judges were doing their “homework.” He therefore had to win inside the distance. In the sixth round, he consistently carried out the plan, following his corner's instructions. He landed numerous punches to the body, counting on their effect later in the fight. In the seventh round, he hurt his opponent with a hook to the liver area. Isufi doubled over and then quickly moved in to clinch.

The Pole's assault did not let up. At the start of the eighth round, Sęk landed several punches with his left hand. The referee sent the Serbian to the doctor because he was already bleeding heavily from his nose and mouth. Although the doctor cleared him to continue, a towel immediately flew from Isufi's corner. It was the sign of surrender.

Dariusz Sęk thus ended his bad run in Germany. Andrzej Gmitruk, whose words were picked up by the arena speakers, had already ordered white wine. Both the trainer and his charge had earned it.
