This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected --------------------------- The Gist Where we weigh in with how we think the fight will play out. Open to anyone to voice how they think the fight goes down. This content is protected I respect both of these warriors a ton, and expect nothing less then a good scrap come saturday night. I do think however, that as good as adamek is, and he is good... that hes simply too small for the type of fighter he is, and his attributes, to overcome vitali, even an aged one. I expect Adamek to make a real go of it though, and I think he will possibly win more rounds then anyone has since Lewis, with his movement and combination punching, but at the end of the day I simply think it wont be enough, while vitali I feel is ready for the taking, I simply dont think Adamek has the quality to do it... and I expect to see Vitali win a UD over the always game Adamek. This content is protected Lot's has been said already about this fight, but the question actually is; "Can Adamek stay upright up until the end?" If the answer is "yes" he does have a decent chance, because of his movement, workrate and the fight taking place in Poland. After seeing the training vids he doesn't have to hope Vitali turning old overnight (or it really has to happen overnight) or Vitali not taking his opponent seriously, cause obviously he does. The biggest problem for Tomasz in this bout is what I call the "Scotty syndrome"... He just "hasn't got the power" at heavyweight... This is why he can't stop Vitali in his tracks, has to punch and move from the start of round 1 until the end of round 12 and don't get caught by too many of Vitali's (big) punches. Klitschko's biggest problem is he has shown problems with quick and moving fighters since his comeback, so he has to cut of the ring better and try to nail Tomasz to the ropes. If he can't he may have a problem with the judges I guess, but if he can I don't believe it won't even go there. I expect an exciting fight with both having a high punchoutput for heavies. Vitali constanly taking the middle of the ring and Tomasz constantly boxing around him, left to right/right to left. Klitschko will eventually be able to walk Adamek down due to lack of punchingpower and reach, and win by T/KO. Vitali Klitschko by T/KO 7th or 8th round. This content is protected Adamek is a warrior and one brave SOB but he is outmatched against the best HW of this decade. --------------------------- This content is protected This content is protected --------------------------- The WEIGH IN VITALI - 242.9lbs / 110.2 kg ADAMEK - 216lbs / 98kg This content is protected This content is protected [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wySq3yPrfx0[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg-EEMUSB4I[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nihwn7M7JCU[/ame]

:wooo That was a nice weekend for me! Thanks for the updates Kirk, and you probably feel this one coming for the fantasy matchup (Vitali vs Foreman) This content is protected :good My picks: 09/15 - Julio Cesar Miranda vs. Giovani Segura - Interim WBO Flyweight title This content is protected 09/15 - Jhonny Gonzalez vs. Rogers Mtagwa - WBC Featherweight title This content is protected I'll probably do the rest of my picks for the weekend later this day.
Robney... you are really starting to rise through the ranks and do some damage m'man, and the peoples champ... damn good :good
I'm going vitali by ud... I know I'm crazy but I just think vitali wouldn't be there for foreman to hit, while vitali is able to do enough through the rounds to win a close ud.
My second half of the year thus far is significantly better as my first half, starting to get the hang of it probably. It's that or just being more lucky on the 50/50 picks lately :yep
