"This was my best win since coming back from a five-year layoff," Zbikowski told the Oklahoman, via the Baltimore Sun. "I felt composed and relaxed out there."
And it seems that working out with legendary trainer Emanuel Steward at the Kronk Gym in Detroit is beginning to make him a more well-rounded fighter as well.
With Warner keeping his hands high on defense, protecting his head, Zbikowski attacked the body, forcing Warner to lower his arms. Then, with Warner leaning in, Zbikowski pounded him with a right uppercut, forcing the referee to halt the bout with 40 seconds left in the round.
"I'm a body puncher, and he was really leaning back in his stance, which was making it tough to get a clean shot," Zbikowski said. "I had to get him leaning forward and the body shots did that.
"That was my cleanest knockout yet. It was a quick uppercut. I'm actually excited to see the replay myself.”
Zbikowski improved to 4-0 with three knockouts.
