Slight edge to Ivanans, Koci definitely looked hesitant I thought.

Ivanans controlled the fight and gets the W

was it spontaneous? who cares. great scrap to bad ivanans doesn't fight more often.
good showing by koci considering fresh back from an injury.

Glad Koci's back, but it looks like his game is a bit rusty. W for Ivanans.

The learning curve has been steep for these two Europeans but they are emerging in the heavyweight ranks

Slight edge to Ivanans, Kocci wanted to throw 'em but looked like he held back. Can't blame him just coming back with a busted hand. (read LaRoque's blog on fighting)

Welcome back, David.

@shane0mack: of course he's homer. He's Czech, as I am, so we both are Koci fans and it's great for us, that czechs have real heavyweight finally. Anyway have to admit, Koci lost in this fight, maybe he isn't completely ok after injury.

edti: Koci landed

Ivanans edged this fight due to koci being off so long with a broken hand, but in my opinion Koci is a heck of a fighter , he can give and most important as a fighter take a punch as well ..just a matter of time before he gets back into the game fitness .

pretty uninspired fight, ivanans was a little more active, so i'll give him the win. neither one seemed to be really into it.

Ivanans with a slight edge. Koci wasn't in the fight and Ivanans saw that towrds the end, which is why he stopped. Bunk fight.
Posted by pitt29 on Jan 15, 2009 at 6:29 PM agree disagree
They both might have landed 1 punch each, but Ivanans threw alot more. Koci kind of rag dolled him at the end. Draw
Posted by ImA1032 on Jan 13, 2009 at 6:07 AM agree disagree
From what I saw both at the game and here on tape, it was pretty much a draw. Ivanans landed a few shots to Koci's helmet, but nothing damaging. I give Ivanans a slight edge for sheer entertainment purposes for getting Koci's jersey over his head for a bit.
