Kownacki knocked out Washington in a flash. The Pole threw 141 punches

Are there still any doubters? Adam Kownacki (19-0, 15 KOs) demolished the very solid Gerald Washington (19-3-1, 12 KOs) in just four minutes! Afterward, “Babyface” briefly silenced the large Polish crowd gathered at Barclays Center. He announced that he would soon become a father, sending his compatriots into even greater euphoria.

The start was frantic. In the opening exchange, Kownacki landed a right hook, and moments later added a left hook. His opponent clearly felt the impact. The Pole pressed forward, closed the distance with ease and showered the American with punches. Not all of them found their mark, but the accumulation did the damage. In the final fifteen seconds of the first round, Washington was “swimming.” The bell saved him from a knockdown. But only temporarily.

After the break, Kownacki charged at his opponent like a tank. He landed a right hand, and when Washington lost his balance, followed up with another punch from the same hand. The dazed American rose at the count of nine. The referee gave him plenty of time to recover, but it made no difference. Adam launched another bomb, and it was all over.

After the first round, two judges scored it 10-9 for the Pole, while the third even gave him a 10-8. It is hardly surprising. “Babyface” from Łomża dominated practically from the opening exchange. In four minutes, he threw as many as 141 punches, 58 of which landed.
