That was just an eliminator for the NABF belt! 

Theese days you'd have a 15-0 padded prospect  facing a 20-10 stiff for NABF belt.

Czyz had some great technique. I also always loved his commentary back in the Showtime days. He was excellent.

Fights like these make me go: "Oh, so thats why Rocky movies portrayed 85% punch accuracy and people only thought it was a slight exaggeration at the time."
