I just rewatched the Haye Wlad fight last nite. OK go ahead and laugh, but when I rewatch the fight I quickly realized just how fast Wlad really was. He matched Haye's speed by the millisecond. I am sure Vitali, having watched hours of tape on Adamek, and then seeing how Wlad was able to beat the smaller, supposedly quicker, haye to the punch motivated him to size it down a bit, relying less on his size, and more on his reflexes and speed. This Vitali will apeear a lot less robotic, and loss more fluid like Wlad did vs haye. Don't for a second, expect this to last more than 6 rounds. Vitali will be firing short jabs form the start, mixing in the hookjab any time Goral gets inside Vitalis reach. Vitali T/KO 5. Can't ****ing wait for this fight.:deal
is ademek chris byrd fast all of the sudden? michael grant and kevin mcfat had no problem hitting him all through the fight...and they are painfully slow.....
just checked that last time Vitali weighted less then 244 was in 1998-12-05 "234¼ lbs against Francesco Spinelli also he was 244 1/4 lbs against Byrd in 2000-04-01 and in 2002-02-08 244¾ against Vaughn Bean so this is his lowest in some 9 years!!! http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=7033&cat=boxer
I think, looking back at the Arreola and Grant fights, Adamek looks much smaller upperbody. Can't tell by the weight, but take a look at those fights, seems he had a bit more bulk in those fights upstairs. In this weighin, he's looking more like the CW who fought Cunningham.:huh
just hope Vitali will not have overtrained and suffer some injury!!! Guys if it where similar to Byrd fight where Vitali is controlling fight and Vitali has to quit due to injury would this be disaster?
Both men respect each other quite a bit. Man, I dont want to root against Adamek. He seems as a cool guy.
Thats how heavyweights are supposed to be. Having a lowest weight in years not biggest like most of them today.
