Surace back in play with win over Bednarek

Bruno Surace W10 Kamil Bednarek... Although it was a technical and methodical affair, France’s Bruno Surace outdueled  previously undefeated Kamil Bednarek to take home a unanimous decision verdict in the super middleweight division. Surace is now 27-1-1 after splitting a pair of fights with current title holder Jaime Munguia in 2024 and 2025 but then going inactive for well over a year. Bednarek returns to Poland with his first defeat in eighteen pro fights. Surace and Bednarek started the fight with the familiar dance in an open-stance affair that is the battle for foot position, and the action stayed at a simmer while they sorted out timing and range. “Brunello” started opening up in the third round, waiting for openings and countering with technical combinations with some power. He also landed several well-timed uppercuts that rattled Bednarek ever so slightly while mixing in some work to the body as well. Bednarek picked up the pace in response, and while Surace maintained his composure in the pocket, Bednarek started finding more success giving less chances for Surace to respond. After a handful of closely contested rounds, Surace started to dig in at the start of the seventh round. The Frenchman started stringing together much longer combinations when Bednarek’s defense showed a crack, at a couple different points looking like he was set to overwhelm Bednarek. In the final round, Surace closed the night out well hurting Bednarek with stinging right hands and counters, stamping home a nice bounce-back win. Official scores were 98-92, 97-93, 96-94.
