Vassiliy Jirov vs. Tomasz Adamek

[IntentionalButt]

Cruiserweight, primes.

(2001-2003 Jirov; 2007-2009 Adamek)

[sportofkings]

Adamek via close decision. Couldn't be anything but a war though and I wouldn't be surprised to see either man hit the floor.

[Muchmoore]

I'd like Jirov by decision.

Adamek I think had slightly more power at the weight; Jirov the slightly better chin.

Adamek more speed, Jirov more skill.

Both could work.

Near as I can tell this match-up has never been done on ESB (strange, as it seems an obvious attraction) but over on B-Scene they did a poll back in '09 and it was deadlocked, with everybody agreeing it would be a close war.

I'm on most of the major boxing forums, but nowhere else as much as here.

[IntentionalButt]

I voted draw, but would probably lean Jirov's way if anything.

Might have registered way back, but don't use 'em.

I pop on Boxrec and the Scene once in a blue moon.

(and even check hook )

[Mr Butt]

I tentatively went for jirov but in such a close match-up you would have to say in a trilogy it could end up 2-1 to either boxer or even 1-1-1

[Bill1234]

Adamek via close decision in a war. I think he was a hair faster, a hair above Jirov in punching power, and just a hair better. The fight would be a definite slugfest that'd be pure action all the way through.

I think body shots might be a key for Jirov. He could dig, and even realtively light-hitting Cunningham bothered Adamek visibly with them.
