Like I said last night, such "technique" should garner a point penalty even faster in the IFL due to the four minute rounds. And let us not forget that during last season's IFL season, he actually KO'ed someone with a head kick while balancing on the ropes with one hand. No dq. No NC. Horodecki is analogous to (of all people) Kimbo because he is the face of an organization while being an extremely flawed fighter who would get destroyed in any other major organization. And, finally, who did Fabiano KO last night? Shad Lierly. Horodecki fought- and almost lost to- him at 155 when Lierly's nose was still broken and "the Polish Hammer" could not even draw blood. Sounds more like "the Polish Marshmallow" to me.
