Glad to hear it! The thought of someone trawling cyberspace without any antivirus software is crazy! Hopefully your computer problems will now be over mate!
Too bad Woz lost, despite out bet I was rooting for her. But my God Stosur crushed Williams! :yikes Weekend action was great, I think Vitali put on a standout performance that's historical significance will grow, he was facing a legit former world CW champ and today's best HW not named Klitschko, a tough as nails, quick, skilled, and fairly powerful warrior with a stadium behind his back, and Vitali put his young opponent to shame in every department including speed, reflexes, agility, ring generalship, tactics, athleticism - total domination of an elite fighter. But my God what a match Federer-Djokovic was. Novak's comeback was something else and the 5th set was drama at it's highest. Should be a great final tomorrow.
we have a loooot of new people this month, will be interesting to see who comes out on top for the rookies in sept.
halway done, just did B.E's.... and I gotta say, B.E is going to be a terror next year in the rankings I think.

Just to kick things off I really, really can't wait for this fight. I'm really pumped and ready for this fight. I'm expecting a superb fight between a highly skilled little man versus a strong, big, big man. Let's talk a little about both fighters. They both always come in shape and it will be really refreshing to see two heavyweights, both in shape, both ripped fighting. Not two blobs, or one somewhat in shape, nah, both of these fighters will be in tip top shape. Very very refreshing to see, and really it's back to back big Heavyweight fights that both fighters will be in shape. The last one, which wasn't that long ago, was Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye where both were in shape. So, let's go deep into both fighters, starting off with the challenger, Tomasz Adamek. Adamek, started off at 175 won a world title, and had two wars with Paul Briggs. Two underrated wars. Adamek's last fight at 175 was against Chad Dawson where he suffered his first and only loss. He moved up to Cruiserweight won a world title, and was dubbed as the top dog after his war with Steve Cunningham. A couple of fights after that he moved up to Heavyweight and beat fellow countryman in Andrew Golota, and had a tough fight with the very defensive Jason Estrada. A couple of months after that fight he took a big test when he took on Chris Arreola, but he passed with flying colors as he won a very entertaining fight. Then his next 3 fights have been against really tall fighters in Michael Grant, Vinny Maddalone, and Kevin McBride. With those 3 fights he has worked on sticking, moving, using speed, getting out of the way, moving his head, really working on his stamina. Now, all that hard work and all that preperation is on the line as he now faces the man (or the 2nd best fighter in the division) in the Heavyweight division, "Dr. Iron Fist" Vitali Klitschko. Klitschko is now 40 yers old and has shown some *****s in the armor. His most recent fight was against Odlanier Solis, in which a little right to the temple blew out Solis' knee after 1 round, but in that 1 round Solis landed a couple of nice right counters, a round in which he was winning. He has looked a bit slower, a little bit older, so coming into this fight, and styles wise I think Adamek has a great shot at not only staying on his feet for 12 rounds, but may'be even winning this fight. Style wise Vitali looks to be too slow on his feet so if Adamek can move and potshot he can definitely win the fight. Adamek has been working on doing this moving, doubling up the jab, left hook to the body, straight rights, and quickly moving, spinning, moving his head. With this game plan he can definitely easily beat Vitali Klitschko. Vitali though, will only be a couple of right hands from hurting and even dropping Adamek. While Adamek does have "cheen" Vitali is a big puncher and plus 30-40 pounds on him a right hand will do massive damage. All right, prediction time, Adamek will be boxing off his back foot moving, spinning, jabbing trying to keep Vitali off him. Vitali will be moving forward, hands down, flicking out that jab from his knee and firing off the right hand, throwing quite a few punches for a big man. So, I expect a really close fight...I'm not expecting a 10-0 shutout for Vitali before knocking him out like what everybody is expecting. I think this fight goes the distance and will be in the 7-5, 8-4 range for either fighter. Shocker, right? I know, but I'm fully expecting it to be that close. And for my pick, I'm going with Adamek to shock the world and win via SD. A close fight in his homeland of Poland I think the judges will give him the nod and the Heavyweight division will finally be complete with a complete total unification of all the belts. ------------------------- This content is protected Tomasz Adamek : I know how to beat Vitali Klitschko. I know that hes a champion, but Im convinced that Saturday night I will be three division champion. Trust me, it will happen. Every great story has to end. His great story as a champion will end on Saturday. Eight years ago nobody give any chance to Corey Sanders when he knocked our Vitalis brother, Wladimir. They gave him even less chances than they give me now. Nobody also gave any chance to Chris Byrd, but in the end he was the winner. Why the history should not be repeated? I have the utmost respect for Vitali, who came back at age 37 and become world champion. But every great story has an end, and his great story as a champion will end on Saturday. I will do everything to keep WBC in Poland. Vitali Klitschko : Im not over the hill. I know the dangers when youre fighting too long. I have people I trust who will tell me right away that I should stop boxing. But theres no danger for me when I will be fighting Tomasz Adamek on September 10. Im in the top form, better than ever because I know exactly what I did wrong in my previous fights. Everything what I do now serves a purpose, every movement in the ring is calculated, nothing is wasted. You will see the proof of it Saturday night, [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry165kL7oaM[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D88MdwfWHlE&feature=related[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AloXQTZ9yag[/ame]
