These two have each other for job security.

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

didnt see enough to give Ivanans the W. Gotta go with a Draw

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

Welcome back David!
Come on folks this was a pure draw. Neither fighter landed anything.

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

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.

A tentative Koci lands a few lefts, Ivanans lands a few rights, they both jersey each other. It's a draw all the way. This is getting really old, people think a guy wins a fight because he swings and misses? That's really dumb but hey, welcome to the internet.

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

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)

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

Ivanans narrow win
Posted by wannago on Jan 13, 2009 at 8:43 AM agree disagree
Wherever Coocie went away too for a couple of months, he needs to go back. He really sucks. Win Ivinans in a bla fight. I expect more from guys this big.

carry on people, nothing to see here.
Posted by Santokh_Gill on Jan 13, 2009 at 7:49 AM agree disagree
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 .
